Soft Tissue Laser Dentistry In Arcadia, CA
What Is Soft Tissue Laser Dentistry?
As the name suggests, soft tissue laser dentistry uses special laser-based surgical tools. Soft tissue lasers use a powerful laser light that’s sent through a special fiber-optic tip. This tip is superheated to a very high temperature, and vaporizes soft tissue upon contact. Soft tissue lasers are used to treat conditions affecting the soft tissues of your mouth, such as your lips, tongue, cheeks, and gums.
For example, a soft tissue laser can be used to remove a canker sore from the inside of your mouth, or to remove bacteria and treat gum disease. At Imprint Family Dentistry, we use dental lasers to help patients get the care they need with less pain and stress, and to guarantee the best possible outcome for your treatment.

What Are The Benefits Of Laser Dentistry?
Precise Treatment
Compared to traditional dental tools like scalpels, laser dental tools are far more precise. This precision allows Dr. Samuel Lee to remove less tissue from your mouth overall during most surgeries, which is always a good thing.
Avoid Numbing Needles
Laser dental tools do not cause uncomfortable pressure or vibrations, and are very gentle. Most patients are able to get treatment without anesthetic, which eliminates the need for numbing needles.
No Need For Stitches
The laser light generated by soft tissue lasers kills bacteria on contact and also cauterizes (seals) tissue during treatment. This means that bleeding is very minimal, and sutures are not usually required as part of the treatment process.
Faster Recovery Time
Soft tissue lasers are less traumatic and require the removal of less oral tissue during surgical procedures. This means that soft tissue lasers provide a faster overall recovery time compared to surgeries performed with traditional dental tools.
