Laser Dentistry
Soft tissue laser dentistry uses a focussed light beam creating heat to cut, remove or reshape soft tissues in the mouth accurately. This includes:
Tongue and lip tie releases
Gum overgrowths, such as over wisdom teeth
Reducing frequency and severity of cold sores
Soft tissue laser dentistry is precise and gentle, with less pain, faster healing, minimal bleeding and a lower risk of infection. With no stitches required and reduced scarring, patients enjoy a quicker and more comfortable recovery and shorter appointments under just local anaesthetic, compared to the traditional scalpel and sutures.
All of these advantages lead to a much better patient experience with less time required in the dental chair (e.g. no need to return for a subsequent visit to remove sutures) and can be performed under typical dental practice setting rather than in a hospital with a specialist, resulting in much lower cost.

A 25-year-old woman accidentally bit into the thin collar of gum sitting over her lower right wisdom tooth and wanted to consider extraction. Despite being a wisdom tooth, it was a functional tooth with an opposing wisdom tooth to bite against. It was an issue with overlying gum, rather the wisdom tooth itself. After removing the collar of gum, it recovered well without recurrence and she has managed to keep the wisdom tooth to present day without any further issues.

A 55-year-old man accidentally bit his cheek 10 years prior during a motorcycle accident, causing a callous-like overgrowth of the inside of his cheek called a fibroma. He would occasionally accidentally bite into it, causing severe pain for a few days each time. He didn't want to address it, as he was concerned that it would require to be removed under a hospital setting with a specialist and its associated costs and recovery undergoing such a procedure. When laser removal was explained, he had the fibroma removed under local anaesthetic in 20 minutes, with no suturing required and fully healed within a few weeks without recurrence or scarring and no downtime.
