What Is Laser Soft Tissue Surgery?
Laser soft tissue surgery is an alternative to traditional oral surgery that uses a highly focused laser beam to make extremely focused small incisions on soft tissue. Laser surgery is used in a variety of surgical fields including: general surgery, neurosurgery, dentistry, and even veterinary surgery.
The Benefits of Laser Dental Surgery
For most, the term “oral surgery” is not to be taken lightly. In fact, many will let the imagination wonder when “oral surgery” is mentioned, pairing the term with such terrifying images as large drills and gadgets that can be intimidating. Although oral surgery is ultimately performed to help the patient, alleviate pain, and correct issues that worsen if neglected, the procedure still comes with its fair share of negatives.
Traditional oral surgery usually requires the use of anesthesia to minimize or eliminate pain. In addition, traditional oral surgery comes with post-procedural pain and a longer recovery time. The traditional instruments used in oral surgery are invasive and can cause swelling and bleeding in the surrounding tissue, which contribute to the post-procedural pain and needed healing period.
Conversely, laser surgery is a less invasive procedure. Because it makes fine, precise incisions, the laser minimizes swelling, bleeding, and damage to surrounding tissue. This, in turn, reduces recovery time. Laser soft tissue surgeries are less likely to require anesthesia than traditional oral surgeries. Unlike drills, lasers do not generate irritating sensations like vibrations and pressure, making for a more comfortable dental experience overall. The laser also reduces the risk of bacterial infection because it sterilizes the surgical area.
Because laser soft tissue surgery is a more precise procedure, it can better protect the undamaged areas of the tooth or gums, allowing for minimal discomfort and faster healing. Laser surgery is quicker than most traditional oral surgeries, saving your family time.

Laser Surgery for Children
Most importantly, laser soft tissue surgery minimizes pain, discomfort, and anxiety. For children, a visit to the dentist can be an overwhelming experience. A cleaning or routine check-up is a small hurdle to overcome, but an oral surgery procedure could be a much bigger and scarier obstacle that might send a child running for the door. When it comes to pediatric dentistry, a child’s state of mind is just as important as his or her oral health. At Cool Mountain Kids, we want your child to feel relaxed and comfortable from beginning to end, and laser soft tissue surgery is another procedure we offer to ensure that your child goes through a speedy recovery with minimal pain.
