Soft Tissue Laser Procedure for Esthetic Enhancement


We utilize a modern, soft tissue laser in many orthodontic cases as an adjunctive treatment to enhance the final orthodontic result.  We are pleased to provide this service with our utmost confidence to give you the best treatment possible.  Our aim is to make you, our patient, happy with your new smile. 

Pre Post Final


THE REASONING

  • Improved smile and facial esthetics.
  • Little (if any) bleeding and little post operative discomfort.
  • Quick and easy procedure to do in the dental chair.
  • Reduces costs for you by several hundred dollars (avoids referral to oral surgeon or periodontist).

    • POST CARE INSTRUCTIONS

  • Clean gently around the gumline with a soft toothbrush.
  • Do not use mouthwash. 
  • Rinse only with Amosan or warm salt water 2-3 times per day, for 2-3 days.
  • Move the muscles if required and instructed by your doctor.
  • Keep the mouth moist by drinking plenty of water.
  • Avoid spicy, salty and hot foods for 1 day as this may irritate or initiate unwanted bleeding.
  • Take pain medication if needed or advised by your doctor.


    • INSURANCE COVERAGE
    It may be possible to obtain insurance coverage for a laser procedure on a separate basis.  If you wish us to submit a pre-determination on your behalf, please contact our Treatment Coordinator, Lesley Bleil at 422-5454 or by email at lesley@drthompson.ca.
