The Benefits of Soft-Tissue Laser Therapy

Improved Accuracy & Precision

Laser tools use extremely focused, precise beams of light to remove soft tissue from the gums, cheeks, and other areas of the mouth. They're much more precise than traditional tools, like scalpels, which enhances overall patient outcomes.

Dramatically Reduced Pain & Bleeding

The extremely high heat of soft tissue lasers cauterizes (seals) tissue, blood vessels, and nerve endings on contact. This means that soft tissue laser treatments are virtually pain-free, and your mouth won’t bleed as much during treatment. There’s also a reduced need for sutures after your surgery.

Faster Healing & Recovery Time

Since lasers are more accurate and precise and are less invasive than traditional dental tools, this adds up to a simpler, faster, and more comfortable recovery process after your procedure. Healing times after procedures like deep cleaning are dramatically reduced.

The Soft-Tissue Laser Therapy Treatment Process

Initial Consultation & Diagnosis

Initial Consultation & Diagnosis

To begin, you’ll need to come in and see your dentist to discuss your oral health and see if soft-tissue laser therapy is right for you. Soft tissue laser therapy is often used to treat gum disease, to take biopsies, to reshape the gums, and for a variety of other purposes.

Next, just come to our office as scheduled for your appointment. Sedation and numbing are usually not needed when using soft-tissue lasers, but may be used for your comfort. Your dentist will follow your surgical plan precisely using our laser tools, ensuring the best results.

Healing & Recovery

Healing & Recovery

After your appointment, you’ll be sent home to rest and recover. Usually, you can get back to your normal routine after just a day or two. However, you should make sure to follow any post-operative instructions provided to you by your dentist.

I have appreciated Julia’s expertise and competence as a dental hygienist for many years. I will always be thankful for her keen eye catching a tricky dental problem  early on. I also like her and Dr Sage’s focus on prevention and oral health as the first step towards heart and brain health.

Just had my first visit with and I’ve never been treated so well by a dental team! I’m actually looking forward to working with them on addressing my periodontal and teeth issues. Highly highly recommend.

Dr Carns was, as always, friendly and professional.  He gave my teeth a good cleaning.  We discussed a cosmetic issue.  He gave me his thoughts and arranged for me to get a further opinion from Dr Sage.

Great dental work. Everyone I’ve worked with has been thorough, communicative and efficient. My impression is that the office makes a point to use up to date tech and techniques, and consistently makes patient comfort their priority (extra pillows and water are nice touches during long filling sessions!). Highly recommend.

This review is long overdue. I've been coming to Sage Family Dentistry for over 5 years, ever since moving to Seattle. My kids also get their dental care here ever since they were born. Dr. Sage and all the other dentists, hygienists, and staff have all been great this entire time. I recently had a bad toothache on a Friday night, called in Saturday morning (when they're normally closed), and was in the office within 1.5 hours with Dr. Sage solving my issue - during a holiday weekend! Highly recommended.
