Laser Bacterial Reduction (LBR)
The energy of a dental laser is extremely useful for killing bacteria in your gums and around your teeth. We often suggest laser bacterial reduction for patients who are at a particularly high risk of infection, especially if they’ve already undergone other dental procedures that could provide an opening for bacteria. This includes those with heart conditions such as mitral valve prolapse (MVP), heart murmurs, and a history of strokes and heart disease. The LBR procedure itself is non-invasive and virtually painless, so there’s no need to be anxious.
Laser Assisted Periodontal Therapy (LAPT)
A deep cleaning procedure (such as scaling and root planing or a curettage procedure) involves removing bacteria as well as infected tissue and infectious debris from your gum pockets. A dental laser can be used during these treatments in place of a scalpel. Doing so will eliminate the need for stitches and will also help sterilize the gum pocket, meaning there is less of a risk of a new infection forming.
Using dental lasers helps accelerate the healing process of the soft tissue, leading to smaller gum pockets and increasing the bone height around your teeth. In other words, LAPT leads to a much healthier mouth. In addition to cleaning, we can also use lasers as an alternative for surgical periodontal treatments, depending on the severity of your infection.
Gum Recontouring
Are you bothered by how small your teeth look next to your gums? When there’s too much gum tissue in your mouth, it can affect the appearance of your smile. A gum re-shaping procedure will help your teeth look longer as well as allows for better-fitting dental restorations. Dr. Hafeez and Dr. Ayazi prefer using a laser for gum recontouring since its precision makes it easier to remove exactly the intended amount of gum tissue.
Frenectomy
If there’s a problem with the frenulum that attaches your tongue to the floor of your mouth or upper lip to your gums, you may start to notice different signs, such as a gap between your front teeth, a speech impediment, or food aversion. We can remove an overly restrictive or otherwise troublesome frenulum with a dental laser, greatly improving the health and function of your or your child’s mouth.
