Discovering beautiful smiles

        

Many laser therapies are available. One of the most common is a frenectomy. There are two primary locations in the mouth where frenum, a thin band of tissue, is found – under the tongue and underneath the center of the upper lip.
The frenum attaches the muscles of the cheeks and lips to the mouth, but in some cases, this tissue may interfere with the development of the mouth. In the event that the tissue, or frenum, is attached too close to the tip of the tongue or too far down the gums between the front teeth, a frenectomy may be performed.

A frenectomy is a simple procedure performed in the dentist office. Patients rarely experience any complications from the procedure and it can often correct problems that have or could occur due to excess tissue.

Another common laser therapy is the treatment of Herpes Labialis, commonly known as cold sores. Patients suffering from herpes with high frequencies of recurrence have reported more elongated periods of time or no recurrence after laser treatment.

Why get laser therapy? Because laser coagulates blood vessels, seals nerve endings and kills bacteria instantly. This significantly lowers the chances for infection, bleeding, pain and discomfort.
