Soft Tissue Laser Technology

Soft tissue lasers allow us to perform a range of procedures involving the gums and soft tissues of the mouth with a level of precision that traditional instruments simply cannot match. Rather than cutting with a scalpel, the laser delivers concentrated light energy to target specific areas exactly, cauterizing as it works to reduce bleeding, minimize swelling, and promote faster healing.

For patients, that translates to a more comfortable experience during treatment and a smoother recovery afterward. Many soft tissue laser procedures require little to no anesthesia, and because the laser sterilizes the tissue as it works, the risk of post-procedure infection is significantly reduced.

At Avocabo, we use soft tissue laser technology for the following treatments:

• Exposure and Bonding — Used to uncover impacted or partially erupted teeth that need to be guided into position orthodontically. The laser allows us to expose the tooth precisely with minimal trauma to the surrounding tissue.

• Gingivectomy — Removal or reshaping of excess gum tissue to improve the health, function, or appearance of the gum line. This is commonly used in orthodontic cases where gum overgrowth is affecting bracket placement or smile aesthetics.

• Frenectomy — Release of a restrictive frenum, the small band of tissue that can limit movement of the lip or tongue. A laser frenectomy is fast, precise, and typically requires no sutures.
