Periodontal disease often goes unnoticed in its painless early stages, affecting around four out of five people due to poor oral hygiene, allowing plaque buildup. Left untreated, plaque hardens into tartar, causing gingivitis. Advanced gum disease can lead to periodontal pockets and even spread to other body parts.

This approach typically reduces the need for local anesthesia, minimizes discomfort, and speeds up the healing process, making it a patient-friendly and effective alternative to traditional drilling methods.
Performing biopsies with lasers offers precision, efficiency, and patient comfort advantages. Laser technology allows for highly targeted tissue removal, minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue and reducing the risk of complications.
The non-invasive nature of laser biopsies often results in minimal bleeding, reduced post-operative pain, and faster healing times compared to traditional surgical methods. Lasers can cauterize blood vessels during the procedure, improving visibility and a more controlled surgical environment.
Laser technology is valuable in aiding implant procedures by providing enhanced precision and improved healing outcomes. Lasers can be utilized to precisely shape the gum tissue and prepare the implant site, ensuring optimal fit and stability.
Using lasers reduces bleeding and minimizes trauma to the surrounding tissues, leading to faster healing and reduced post-operative discomfort. Lasers can be employed for disinfection, effectively eliminating bacteria and promoting a healthier environment for successful implant integration.
Dr. Weinstein and our team can provide precise and predictable results regarding gingival contouring procedures with our lasers. The laser technology allows for gentle and controlled removal of excess gum tissue, reshaping the gums to achieve a harmonious and aesthetically pleasing gum line.
The use of lasers ensures minimal bleeding and discomfort during the procedure, as well as reduced healing time afterward. Lasers promote improved tissue healing and minimize the risk of postoperative complications, making them a valuable tool for achieving optimal gingival contouring outcomes.
