Less Pain, No Bleeding and Faster Healing...

As much as we believe in the trusted, traditional methods of dentistry, we’re also focused on bringing our patients the very latest in proven dentistry procedures. The soft tissue laser is an exciting development that allows us to treat many oral health issues without making scalpel incisions. The soft tissue laser is minimally invasive, and also allows us to perform many procedures without anaesthesia.

The soft tissue laser is exactly what it sounds like—a laser used on soft tissues, such as your gums. Using the soft tissue laser we can reshape your gums and remove overgrown gum tissue to improve the appearance of your teeth, remove diseased gum tissue, prepare your mouth for crowns or other restorations, perform root canals, treat mouth ulcers, care for abscessed teeth, treat tooth sensitivity, and perform a biopsy or remove benign oral tumours, among other things.

Because the soft tissue laser cauterizes as it cuts, there’s no bleeding, and sutures are not required. Not only is there less discomfort both during and after the procedure, but the soft tissue laser produces less swelling, promotes faster healing, and reduces the chances of infection.

The soft tissue laser is just one example of the modern technology we rely on at Sterlingdental.
