What is Laser Dentistry?
At Town Square Dental & Orthodontics, laser dentistry uses focused light energy to treat the soft tissues of the mouth with precision. Our soft tissue laser can help manage periodontal disease, cold sores, and other soft tissue conditions while supporting comfortable, minimally invasive care.
Our soft tissue laser may be recommended for concerns such as:
- Periodontal (gum) disease
- Cold sores
- Other soft tissue conditions
Because treatment is focused on a specific area, soft tissue laser care may involve less bleeding, swelling, and discomfort than some conventional techniques. Our dental team will evaluate the area and explain whether laser treatment is appropriate for your needs.
“Soft tissue laser dentistry provides precise, minimally invasive treatment for conditions affecting the gums and other oral tissues.”
Soft Tissue Laser Dentistry
A soft tissue laser delivers focused energy to the gums, lips, cheeks, and other oral tissues. It seals tissue as it works, which can help limit bleeding and swelling while allowing our team to treat a precise area.
At our office, we use a soft tissue laser to support periodontal disease treatment, address cold sores, and care for other soft tissue conditions. The laser can also help reduce bacteria and promote a more comfortable healing process.

Benefits and Considerations of Soft Tissue Laser Dentistry
Soft tissue laser dentistry can provide precise, minimally invasive care for the gums and other oral tissues. Because the laser seals tissue as it works, treatment may involve less bleeding, swelling, and discomfort while supporting a comfortable recovery.
Laser treatment is not appropriate for every soft tissue concern. Our team will evaluate the type and severity of the condition, explain what to expect, and recommend conventional or additional care when that is the better option.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. How new is laser technology in the field of dentistry?
A. While lasers have been used in medicine since the 1970s, the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) notes that the first dental-specific laser was created in 1987 and approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in the 1980s. Since then, lasers have become increasingly used by dentists because of their unique benefits.
Q. What exactly happens during a laser dentistry treatment?
A. First, your dentist will describe to you what the procedure will entail. You will likely be instructed to wear sunglasses during the treatment. Unlike other dental tools, lasers do not emit a loud noise or create a grinding sensation, so the treatment may be surprisingly quiet. After the treatment, your dentist will provide you with after-care instructions.
Q. Can laser dentistry be used in children?
A. Yes. Lasers are especially useful in children because they are minimally invasive, operate within a narrow field, and are also antimicrobial. Lasers can also reduce a pediatric patient's need for stitches or anesthesia, says the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD).
Q. What kind of training is needed to perform laser dentistry?
A. Dentists and other providers who use lasers are required to have specialized training. During this training, they learn how to use lasers strategically to manage dental conditions and make sure that lasers are used safely. The Academy of Laser Dentistry is devoted to ensuring that the practice is standardized.
Q. Are lasers approved dental devices?
A. Yes. The FDA has approved dental lasers to perform a number of different procedures, such as frenectomies, teeth whitening, lesion removal, and gum tissue removal, among many others. However, the American Dental Association (ADA) has not officially provided any specific laser with its Seal of Acceptance, which is why you may be confused about whether they are sanctioned. However, the ADA is cautiously optimistic about the future of lasers in dentistry.
