Gum Surgery  
Surgery is a very strong word again in modern dentistry.  Nowadays we use lasers instead of scalpels!  Lasers requires no stitches or cuts. It is easy and painless to shape and form gums should this procedure be performed.
Gum Contouring and Reshaping  
Shaping and Contouring of gums are done in minutes, using a laser. Its pain-free, and also blood-free, because we are not using scalpels and stitches!
Soft Tissue Grafts  
With the use of lasers, we do minor gum-sculpting procedures, the treatment of periodontal disease and many other minor soft tissue procedures. This is an indispensable tool in our practice!
