At the Fort Worth dental office of Gary N. Pointer, DDS, we are dedicated to incorporating the most innovative dentistry technologies into our office in order to ensure patients feel relaxed and comfortable throughout their time with us our Fort Worth dentist and team. When we choose to invest in a technology, we ask that it offer our patients three main benefits – improved comfort, reduced risk, and better results. Soft tissue laser dentistry exceeds even our highest expectations for dental technologies. It offers us the ability to remove, treat, and reshape soft tissues without using a scalpel or stitches that can be traumatic, lead to difficulties during healing, and cause a number of other concerns. If you want to learn more about the use of soft tissue lasers in our dental office or schedule an appointment to visit our team, call our Fort Worth dentistry practice today.

There are many benefits to providing treatment with soft tissue lasers, including all of the following:
Soft tissue lasers use waves of light to pinpoint and destroy damaged, inflamed, or excessive tissues. Traditionally, we would use scalpels to cut away soft tissue, and sutures to reattach the soft tissue. The laser light waves cauterize as they cut, minimizing bleeding and discomfort during treatment, and accelerating healing after the procedure to reduce risk for infection and limit chances of bacterial accumulation leading to further irritation and soft tissue damage.
