The Benefits Of Soft Tissue Laser Therapy
Minimally Invasive
Soft Tissue Laser Therapy is a minimally invasive procedure. Unlike traditional surgery, it does not require incisions or sutures. The laser simply targets and treats the affected area, causing less trauma to the tissues. This means fewer complications and a smoother post-treatment recovery.
Precise
The laser used in Soft Tissue Laser Therapy offers superior precision. It can accurately target the diseased or problematic tissue without affecting the surrounding healthy tissue. This precision reduces the risk of damage to nearby tissues and results in a more effective treatment.
Faster Healing
Thanks to the precision and minimally invasive nature of Soft Tissue Laser Therapy, patients typically experience faster healing times. The laser promotes coagulation, which reduces bleeding and swelling. Furthermore, the laser sterilizes the area, reducing the risk of infection and further accelerating the healing process.
The Soft Tissue Laser Therapy Treatment Process
Consultation and Examination
During your initial consultation at Stuetzer Family and Cosmetic Dentistry, Dr. Daniela Stuetzer will conduct a thorough examination of your oral health. This will include a review of your dental history and a detailed examination of your gums. She'll take detailed measurements of your gum pockets and assess any areas of inflammation or recession. Digital photos may be taken to document your current condition and track your progress throughout treatment. Dr. Stuetzer will also discuss any medications you're taking that might affect your treatment.
Treatment Planning
Based on the results of your examination, Dr. Stuetzer will develop a personalized treatment plan. This plan will outline how the Soft Tissue Laser Therapy will be used to address your specific dental issues. She'll explain the expected timeline for your treatment, potential number of sessions needed, and what results you can anticipate. The plan will also include recommendations for pre- and post-treatment care to ensure optimal results, and Dr. Stuetzer will address any questions or concerns you may have about the procedure.
Procedure
During the procedure, Dr. Stuetzer will use the laser to precisely target and treat the problematic tissue. The laser's energy will remove the diseased tissue and promote healing in the area. The entire procedure is typically quick and causes minimal discomfort. Throughout the treatment, Dr. Stuetzer will ensure your comfort and explain each step as it occurs. The laser technology also sterilizes the treatment area as it works, reducing the risk of infection and promoting faster healing. Most patients can return to their normal activities immediately after the procedure, though specific aftercare instructions will be provided.
