Experience Precision and Comfort with Dental Laser Surgery at Park Avenue Dental Care

Modern dentistry has come a long way, and one of its most impressive innovations is dental laser technology. At Park Avenue Dental Care, Dr. Gregory Duffner, Dr. James Kreuz, and Dr. Alexander Dolinar proudly offer dental laser surgery as a safer, more comfortable, and highly precise alternative to traditional surgical techniques. Located in the heart of Homewood, Illinois, our practice integrates cutting-edge laser systems to perform a range of soft tissue procedures with minimal discomfort, faster healing, and outstanding results.

Dental laser surgery uses focused light energy to remove or reshape soft tissue in the mouth. Whether you’re dealing with gum disease or overgrown tissue or need a cosmetic gum lift, laser treatment provides a minimally invasive option with less bleeding, reduced need for anesthesia, and a lower risk of infection.

What is dental laser surgery used for?

Dental laser surgery can be used for various procedures involving the gums and soft tissues of the mouth. Common applications include:

  • Treating periodontal (gum) disease by removing infected tissue
  • Reshaping overgrown or uneven gums (gum contouring)
  • Removing soft tissue folds caused by ill-fitting dentures
  • Performing frenectomies (for tongue- or lip-tie correction)
  • Reducing the size of cold sores or canker sores for faster healing
  • Enhancing crown length before restorative procedures

Laser surgery is versatile and often more comfortable than traditional methods.

Is dental laser surgery painful?

Most patients report little to no discomfort during or after dental laser procedures. Because lasers are so precise and minimally invasive, they cause less trauma to surrounding tissues. In many cases, patients require little or no local anesthesia. Additionally, laser energy cauterizes as it cuts, which means less bleeding and quicker healing. Dr. Duffner, Dr. Kreuz, and Dr. Dolinar ensure each patient’s comfort by carefully selecting the appropriate settings and thoroughly explaining the procedure in advance.

What are the advantages of dental laser surgery over traditional techniques?

Dental lasers offer several significant benefits, including:

  • Minimized discomfort: Less trauma to tissue means less post-operative pain.
  • Reduced bleeding and swelling: The laser seals blood vessels as it works.
  • Faster healing: Reduced inflammation and a cleaner surgical site lead to quicker recovery.
  • Precision: Lasers allow for extremely accurate removal of only the targeted tissue.
  • Lower infection risk: Laser energy sterilizes the area during treatment.

These advantages make laser surgery a preferred choice for many soft tissue dental procedures.

Is laser dental surgery safe?

Dental laser technology is FDA-approved and has been widely used for decades. Laser surgery is extremely safe when performed by experienced providers like Dr. Duffner, Dr. Kreuz, and Dr. Dolinar. They will assess your condition and medical history to ensure you’re a good candidate and explain all risks and benefits before proceeding.
