Laser Benefits
Amazing Benefits of Laser Dentistry
Laser dentistry, particularly with the use of soft tissue lasers, represents a monumental shift in advanced oral care, offering a plethora of benefits over traditional surgical methods. Here are some key advantages:
Reduced Inflammation
Lasers are incredibly precise, meaning less trauma to the surrounding tissues and consequently, minimal swelling post-procedure.
Significantly Less Bleeding
The laser's high-energy light beam acts as a coagulant, significantly reducing, or in some cases, completely eliminating bleeding during and after the procedure.
Quicker Recovery
With the absence of conventional cutting and suturing, laser dentistry typically allows for a faster healing process, getting you back to your routine more quickly.
Increased Comfort
Procedures utilizing dental lasers are often considered more comfortable compared to traditional methods, sometimes reducing the necessity for anesthesia.
Immediate Results
Many laser-assisted procedures produce same-day results, allowing you to see and feel the difference immediately, particularly in cosmetic gum adjustments or the treatment of gum disease.

Common Dental Laser Treatment Options
At Cable Car Dental, we harness the power of advanced laser technology to offer a range of precise, efficient, and comfortable treatments, catering to diverse dental needs.
Gingivectomies for a Gummy Smile
If excess gum tissue makes your teeth appear short, a laser gingivectomy is the perfect solution. We delicately reshape the gum line, revealing more of your teeth for a balanced, confident smile. This stand-alone cosmetic procedure can transform your smile in just a single visit.
Crown Lengthening
Restoring worn or broken teeth often requires a stable base for placing a crown. Laser crown lengthening adjusts the gum line, exposing more of the tooth to securely anchor restorations — an essential procedure for effective rehabilitative dental care.
Pocket Reduction for Gum Health
Deep periodontal pockets, challenging to clean through regular hygiene, harbor harmful bacteria. Our laser pocket reduction technique simplifies home oral care by resizing these pockets. This procedure curtails recurrent infections by making the gum pockets more accessible for daily cleaning routines.
Prompt Cold Sore Relief
Frequent cold sores or mouth ulcers can be more than a nuisance. By recognizing the early symptoms and contacting us, you can take advantage of our laser treatment to significantly reduce your cold sore's lifespan, alleviating discomfort and hastening healing.
Dental Implant Treatment
After your dental implant integrates with bone and gum tissue, a minor laser procedure may be necessary to expose the implant's top, usually hidden under the gums. This step is crucial before attaching permanent restorations like crowns or bridges. Our use of lasers ensures minimal discomfort and practically no downtime, streamlining the journey to your new smile.
