Soft Tissue Laser

At Sunrise Dental Studio in Pasadena, Maryland, Dr. Afshin Nateghi utilizes soft tissue laser technology to assist with a variety of gum-related dental procedures. A soft tissue laser is a focused beam of light energy designed to interact with the soft tissues of the mouth, including the gums, cheeks, lips, and tongue. This technology allows our team to perform certain treatments with a high level of precision, targeting specific areas while minimizing contact with surrounding tissue.

Soft tissue lasers are commonly used in procedures such as gum contouring, treatment of periodontal pockets, frenectomies, and the removal of excess or inflamed gum tissue. During these procedures, the laser energy works by gently reshaping or removing tissue as needed. Because the laser seals blood vessels and nerve endings as it operates, patients may experience less bleeding and swelling compared to some traditional methods. This characteristic may also help reduce discomfort during and after treatment for many patients.

One of the general benefits associated with soft tissue laser treatment is the potential for shorter recovery times. Because the laser cauterizes tissue as it works, there is often less post-operative sensitivity, and the treated area may heal more quickly than it would following conventional surgical techniques. Additionally, the precision of the laser allows Dr. Nateghi to preserve more of the healthy surrounding tissue during treatment.

Soft tissue laser technology is one of several dental technologies available at our office to support patient care. Whether you are visiting for a routine cleaning and exam or require a more involved gum treatment, our team is here to discuss your options. We also offer sedation dentistry for patients who may benefit from additional comfort during their visit.
