Dental lasers can be used for certain soft-tissue procedures involving the gums and other tissues in the mouth. In the right situation, laser treatment allows us to work with precision while minimizing bleeding and improving patient comfort.

Laser dentistry may be used for procedures such as gum reshaping, gingivoplasty, frenectomies, treatment of certain periodontal concerns, excess tissue removal, or other minor soft-tissue needs.

One common use is reshaping excess or uneven gum tissue. When the gums cover too much of the teeth or create an uneven gumline, laser treatment may help create a more natural and balanced appearance.

Because laser treatment is highly precise, many patients appreciate the comfort and control it offers. Dr. Yager will evaluate your specific situation and explain whether laser treatment is the best option for your care.
