Soft Tissue Laser

Laser technology continues to transform many procedures in healthcare. Once the subject of sci-fi movies, lasers now clearly benefit mainstream treatment in medicine and dentistry. Shorter procedures, less discomfort, and rapid healing comprise just a few benefits modern lasers offer.

The mouth's soft tissues cover about 30 square inches of surface area and sometimes require treatment. Annoying lumps or bumps may need removal, and unusual patches of tissues may need to be submitted for further microscopic analysis. Traditionally, a surgical procedure involving incisions and sutures would be required to produce an acceptable remedy for these situations. Today, a pen-shaped wand allows Crow Canyon Dental to remove suspicious or bothersome bumps within a few minutes gently. The healing stimulated by laser energy leads to rapid resolution and little to no discomfort without the need for stitches. 

Similarly, gums can be quickly reshaped without bleeding for ultimate appearance and health, and some gum infections are treated with rapid resolution afterward. Even cold sores or mouth ulcers can heal faster when laser energy passes over the surface. Better yet, the days of pain associated with these recurring ulcers can be dramatically decreased immediately. Lasers may also help children with growth and development issues or help wisdom teeth move into place.

A soft tissue laser offers valuable benefits to many commonly treated conditions in the mouth. Crow Canyon Dental's specific training in laser protocols opens up numerous possibilities for using one of modern dentistry's most versatile tools.
