Lasers allow us to perform minor oral surgeries with fewer stitches, minimal swelling, and an overall easier recovery experience. For example, if you have an unusual bump or sore in your mouth, we can use a laser to remove a small tissue sample (biopsy) for further evaluation, usually with little to no bleeding and minimal discomfort.
We also use lasers to uncover teeth that haven’t fully erupted, such as impacted canines or premolars. This is especially helpful during orthodontic treatment, making it easier to guide the tooth into place without the need for traditional surgery.
