Diode Laser Gum Surgery

At Dr. Suzanne Haeri's dental practice, our dentist offers diode laser gum surgery to Los Angeles, CA, residents. This laser has several purposes, and patients can benefit from the use of it more so than when compared to traditional surgery.

What's a Diode Laser?

A diode laser uses laser energy emitted through a semiconductor. The end result is that this device creates a precise, concentrated light beam directed at the surgical area. Nowadays, diode lasers come in a variety of powers and wavelengths.

Dental Procedures That Use a Diode Laser

At our Los Angeles, CA, office, Dr. Haeri uses a diode laser for a few different gum procedures, mainly for aesthetic purposes.

For example, our practitioner may recommend a diode laser gum surgery if you have excessive gum tissue that interferes with the aesthetics of your smile. Our dentist may use the diode laser to contour the gums to improve the appearance of your smile, such as if you have gum tissue that's covering your teeth more than you'd like.

Besides cosmetic reasons, our practitioner may use a diode laser gum surgery to help an impacted tooth erupt, especially a wisdom tooth. This prevents the need to wait months for the tooth to erupt on its own or the need for a surgical extraction.

Some other possible reasons for a diode laser gum surgery include the following:

• Sulcular debridement (periodontal disease treatment)


• Labial frenectomy


• Abscess excision


• Implant placement


• Hemostasis

Benefits of Diode Laser Gum Surgery

In general, lasers tend to cause less pain than a traditional surgical procedure.

When compared to a traditional surgical procedure, using a laser has its share of advantages. For example, rather than using any type of sedative, with a laser gum procedure, you only need to have a local anesthetic applied to the surgical area.

You'll have less bleeding with a laser procedure than you would with a traditional surgical procedure. Additionally, the laser tends to irritate the sensitive gum tissue less, which in return, decreases the amount of inflammation.

Typically, if a patient has dental anxiety, laser treatment can reduce some of the stress since there isn't a drill or scalpel involved in the procedure.

Because a laser enhances accuracy, you tend to experience an easier and quicker recovery from a laser surgery than a traditional one.

At Dr. Haeri's practice in Los Angeles, CA, our dentist uses diode laser gum surgery for various purposes. The use of lasers makes the procedure much easier for you as a patient, especially if you desire a less invasive approach to dental care.

Diode Laser Gum Surgery

It’s no secret that dental technology has improved over the years. For example, we can now make digital molds of our teeth over traditional putty impressions. Dr. Suzanne Haeri is dedicated to learning all she can about the advancements in dentistry. One such advancement is a laser that helps patients with periodontal problems. Dr. Haeri is thrilled to offer the Diode Soft Tissue Laser in her Los Angeles practice.

The Diode Soft Tissue Laser helps patients who suffer from periodontal (gum) disease. The laser successfully stops bleeding, seals lymphatic and nerve endings, and decreases inflammation. Your Los Angeles dentist is able to perform surgery on your gums without needles, bleeding, and stitches. The patient is also able to eat, drink, and talk after the procedure with zero discomfort. As an added bonus, the laser sterilizes the gum tissue at the restoration site.

Diode Laser Gum Surgery

Gum disease can really cause changes in your mouth you may not be pleased with. Along with the pain and irritation of gum disease, it can leave the gums looking uneven. Because of the recession gum disease often causes, gums will be pulled back from teeth, making them loose and allowing bacteria to reach deep down to the tooth’s root. Dr. Suzanne Haeri, DDS of Los Angeles, CA utilizes advanced laser technology to heal the gums and promote health.

Diode laser gum surgery allows Dr. Haeri to perform gum surgery with less pain, quicker recoveries, and instant sterilization. Using a soft tissue laser instead of a scalpel means no bleeding and no stitches needed. The gums are immediately in the position to begin healthy healing. Patients experience much less discomfort and pain with soft tissue lasers.

We use the diode soft tissue laser to clear up gum disease and fix recessed gums. We can also use it for cosmetic reasons. If you have excess gums, or as it is commonly called, “gummy smile”, we can use lasers to re-contour your gum line. We can also do this for uneven gum lines.

If you are unhappy with your smile because of your gum line, schedule a consultation with us. To schedule with Dr. Suzanne Haeri, DDS in our Los Angeles, CA office, call us at (310) 657-2200.
