Soft Tissue Laser

At Dr. Flynn-Nyktas's Summit dentist office, we are committed to providing our patients with the latest advancements in dental technology to enhance their treatment experience. One such innovation is the use of Soft Tissue Laser Treatments. This state-of-the-art approach offers significant benefits, particularly in the treatment of gum disease and other soft tissue conditions.

What is Soft Tissue Laser Treatment?

Soft tissue lasers are advanced tools that utilize concentrated energy to cut and sterilize tissue with precision. This technology enables our Summit dentist, Dr. Flynn-Nyktas to perform procedures with greater accuracy and less discomfort for patients. The laser's ability to target specific areas means that it can effectively remove bacteria from the pockets between your teeth and gums while minimizing damage to surrounding tissues.

Benefits of Soft Tissue Laser Treatments

1. Reduced Discomfort: Traditional dental procedures often require extensive anesthesia and can lead to discomfort during and after treatment. With soft tissue lasers, the need for anesthesia is significantly minimized, making the procedure more comfortable for patients.

2. Faster Healing: The laser’s precision helps to reduce bleeding and promote faster healing. By aiding in the clotting process, patients experience less swelling and discomfort following their procedures, allowing for a quicker return to their daily activities.

3. Effective Treatment of Gum Disease: One of the key benefits of soft tissue lasers is their effectiveness in treating gum disease. By accurately targeting the bacteria within the gum pockets, Dr. Flynn-Nyktas can help prevent the progression of gum disease, which can lead to tooth loss and infections that may spread to the jaw and beyond.

4. Minimally Invasive: Soft tissue laser treatments are often less invasive than traditional surgical methods, which can result in less tissue removal and a more conservative approach to treatment.
