Laser Dentistry in Philadelphia, PA
If you’re looking for a more comfortable, less invasive dental experience, laser dentistry may be the perfect fit. At Smiles At The Square, Dr. Kirti Chopra uses state-of-the-art dental lasers to perform soft tissue procedures with greater accuracy, minimal discomfort, and faster healing. Whether you need gum contouring, periodontal therapy, or treatment for oral lesions, laser dentistry allows us to offer more conservative, patient-friendly care—without scalpels or stitches.
What Is Laser Dentistry?
Laser dentistry uses focused light energy to treat soft tissues in the mouth. The laser can cut, reshape, or vaporize tissue with high precision, while simultaneously disinfecting the area and minimizing bleeding.
At our Philadelphia practice, we use dental lasers for a range of procedures, including:
- Gum recontouring for aesthetic smile enhancements
- Treatment of gummy smiles
- Gingival pocket disinfection during nonsurgical gum therapy
- Frenectomies to address tongue-tie or lip-tie
- Cold sore and ulcer treatment
- Peri-implantitis therapy around infected dental implants
- Biopsies and soft tissue lesion removal
Because the laser cauterizes as it works, most procedures are virtually painless, require little to no anesthesia, and promote faster healing than traditional surgical methods.
Benefits of Laser Dentistry
- Minimal discomfort—many procedures don’t require anesthesia
- Little to no bleeding during treatment
- Reduced risk of infection—the laser sterilizes as it works
- Faster healing and recovery time
- More precise treatment for both functional and cosmetic procedures
- Less anxiety for patients who are sensitive to traditional tools
Laser technology is particularly ideal for patients with dental anxiety, sensitive gums, or a preference for modern, non-invasive care.
Cosmetic Laser Applications
Laser dentistry also plays a role in enhancing the appearance of your smile. Dr. Chopra uses laser gum contouring to:
- Even out an asymmetrical gum line
- Eliminate excess gum tissue for a more balanced smile
- Enhance results from veneers or smile makeovers
This quick, in-office treatment can dramatically improve your smile’s harmony and proportions—with no downtime or sutures required.
