Laser Dentistry with Biolase Diode Laser in King’s Lynn
At Lynn Road Dental Practice in King’s Lynn, we’re proud to offer the latest in modern dental technology with our Biolase Soft Tissue Diode Laser. This advanced laser system allows us to perform a wide range of soft tissue procedures with exceptional precision, minimal discomfort, and faster healing times.
What Is Laser Dentistry?
Laser dentistry uses focused light energy to perform soft tissue procedures in a minimally invasive way. The Biolase Diode Laser allows for precise cutting, reshaping, and sterilisation of tissues — often without the need for scalpels or sutures.
Laser Dentistry Treatments Available in King’s Lynn
- Gum Contouring and Smile Design
Reshape uneven gum lines and create a more symmetrical, balanced smile. The laser gently removes excess gum tissue (“gummy smile”) or contours the gum margins to enhance crowns or veneers.
- Crown Lengthening
Remove and reshape soft tissue to expose more of the natural tooth structure when teeth appear short due to excess gum coverage.
- Periodontal (Gum) Treatment
Laser-assisted therapy treats gum disease by decontaminating infected pockets, removing inflamed tissue, and promoting natural healing of the gums.
- Frenectomy and Tongue-Tie Release
A gentle solution for patients with restricted tongue or lip movement caused by tight frenal attachments.
- Removal of Oral Lesions and Mucoceles
Safely and precisely removes benign oral growths such as fibromas, papillomas, or mucoceles.
- Gum Depigmentation
Restore a lighter, more uniform gum tone for naturally dark or uneven pigmentation.
- In-Office Laser Teeth Whitening
Accelerates the activation of whitening gel for dramatic results in a single session.
