Common Soft Tissue Conditions and Treatments

Treatment for Gum Disease Periodontal Therapy

  • Scaling & Root Planing: Deep cleaning to remove bacteria and tartar from below the gumline.
  • Laser Gum Therapy: Minimally invasive laser treatment to eliminate infected tissue and promote healing.

  • Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) Therapy: Uses your own body’s growth factors to speed up gum healing and regeneration.

Gum Grafting for Receding Gums

  • Gum recession can expose tooth roots, leading to sensitivity, decay, and aesthetic concerns.

  • Benefits include less bleeding, faster healing, and a comfortable, pain-free experience.

Frenectomy Tongue−Tie and Lip−Tie Treatment

  • A tight frenulum can cause speech difficulties, breastfeeding issues (in infants), and gum recession.
  • We perform gentle, precise frenectomies using laser treatment for a quick and pain-free solution.

Treatment for Oral Lesions and Ulcers

  • Cold sores, canker sores, and other oral lesions can be treated using laser therapy and ozone therapy.
