Less Pain & Faster Recovery With Our Laser Dentist in Hermon and Bangor, MEUtilizing advanced dental technology to give you the best results

A gingivectomy may be recommended if you have severe pockets between the teeth and gums or if there is an overgrowth of gum tissue. Certain medications and health conditions can cause inflammation and give you a “gummy” smile. Laser gum therapy will reshape the gum tissue to reduce pockets or fix a “gummy” smile.

For patients that are tongue-tied, a frenectomy will “untie” the tongue to improve speech and allow normal movement of the tongue.

Dental lasers are excellent for caries removal with their precision and ability to conservatively remove decay without harming healthy tooth structure.

Scaling and root planing is a procedure recommended for patients with gum disease. With laser gum therapy, scaling and root planing is done efficiently and with less pain than traditional scaling and root planing methods.

Dental lasers are also used in some endodontic (root canal) procedures. They can effectively prepare the tooth for accessing the canal, disinfect the canal after treatment, and debride the tooth canal.
