Soft Tissue Laser
Many medical procedures are currently being revolutionized by laser technology, which is changing medicine as we know it. Shorter operations, less discomfort, and faster healing are just a few of the advantages of modern lasers.
The soft tissues that cover the surface of the mouth area are approximately 30 square inches. If you have any bumps or patches that are causing irritation, they may need to be removed and further analyzed under a microscope. In the past, this would require undergoing surgery with incisions and sutures. However, Dr. Boyer can use laser technology to remove these bumps in just a few minutes. The laser causes stimulation that leads to rapid healing without any discomfort or stitches necessary.
Rapidity is associated with laser gum surgery- quickly reshaping gums without any bleeding. Some gum infections can now be successfully dealt with in a short amount of time, and this also goes for cold sores or mouth ulcers. The surface area will heal faster when it comes into contact with laser energy. Not to mention, the days of pain that come along with these types of issues will diminish greatly.
Many mouth conditions can benefit from a soft tissue laser. Dr. Boyer's specific training in using lasers creates many possibilities with this versatile tool, which is widely available in modern dentistry.
