Reshape your smile with laser gum therapy

Dental lasers use focused light energy to perform a variety of treatments with increased precision and efficiency. Unlike traditional scalpels, lasers minimize discomfort, reduce healing time, and create smooth, natural-looking results. They are commonly used in cosmetic and restorative dentistry to enhance smiles while improving overall oral health.

What are lasers used for in dentistry?

Lasers offer a versatile solution for a range of dental procedures, including:

Gum contouring

Uneven gum lines can affect the appearance of your smile. Laser sculpting reshapes the gums to create a more symmetrical, balanced look—often complementing treatments like veneers or bonding.

Reducing a gummy smile

Excess gum tissue can make teeth appear short or uneven. Dental lasers remove overgrown tissue, exposing more of the natural tooth structure for a more proportionate smile. In some cases, minor bone reshaping may also be necessary.

Biopsy and lesion removal

Suspicious growths or tissue abnormalities can be safely removed with laser technology. If necessary, the tissue can be sent for testing to ensure early detection of potential concerns.

Periodontal therapy

For patients with gum disease, lasers help disinfect deep pockets of bacteria, reducing inflammation and promoting faster healing. This non-surgical approach is often more comfortable and effective than traditional methods.

Frenectomy (tongue-tie correction)

Tight or restrictive frenum attachments can cause speech difficulties, breastfeeding challenges in infants, or discomfort. Laser frenectomy is a quick, painless procedure that restores proper function with minimal healing time.

The benefits of laser dentistry

  • Minimally invasive – Reduces the need for scalpels and sutures.

  • Faster healing – Less trauma to surrounding tissue speeds up recovery.

  • Less discomfort – Many laser treatments require little to no anesthesia.

  • More precise results – Targets only the necessary areas for improved accuracy.

If you’re looking for a modern, comfortable approach to dental treatment, laser dentistry could be the perfect solution.

  • Peter K. Dental Testimony

    "Came here for a dental emergency and was greeted warmly and seen the same day! I was given a tour of the office and love how clean and welcoming it is. Loved how through the dentist was in making sure I knew what was going on with my dental health and what I could do to keep my smile looking great!"

  • Tina F. Dental Testimony

    "This is the best dental office I’ve been to in my 50+ years! The doctors and staff love their job and it shows. They are especially attentive to patient comfort and individual needs/preferences/priorities. I’ve never had to wait more than 5 minutes once I’ve checked in. Appointments are easily available to schedule. They are also much more affordable than the last couple of dental offices I’ve been to, so I don’t feel like good dental care is an unattainable luxury. Please give them a try! I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised at the difference you experience there."

    "Gratitude abounds for the exceptional team at Spokane Family Dental. Their commitment to going above and beyond creates an atmosphere where patients, like myself, truly feel like part of the family. It's not just dental care; it's an experience rooted in genuine care and kindness."

  • Gina D. Dental Testimony

    "The dentist has always been a struggle for me and my daughter who is on the spectrum. The office walls are covered with green leafy plant stuff which dramtically reduces the echo and noise, they showed my daughter around the entire place before putting her in the chair. Then they asked her what they could do to help her. Most importantly...they listened and they heard her. Before she told them she is on the spectrum they were explaining things before they did it. Something as simple as telling her they were going to raise and lower her chair before they did. For those that know how critical these things are YOU KNOW. I cannot thank this team enough. You truly are phenomenal!!!!!"
