What is laser dentistry?
Laser dentistry uses focused light energy to treat soft tissue — gum contouring, removing overgrown tissue, and similar procedures — with more precision than a blade and less bleeding, since the laser seals small blood vessels as it works. Many procedures need no stitches.

Technology & approach
The laser seals small blood vessels and nerve endings as it works, which is why many soft-tissue procedures that once needed stitches and a longer recovery can now be done without either.
