Diode laser treatment provides several benefits for patients receiving orthodontic care. By using a specialized diode laser, we are able to safely and effectively remove excess gum tissue in order to expose more of the tooth’s surface for better aesthetics and function. Your gum tissue serves as a “frame” for your teeth; orthodontic lasers are used to sculpt the gums around the teeth in a way that helps improve the overall appearance of your smile. The best part of laser treatment? In most cases, there is no need for needles! We simply apply a topical anesthetic to the gum tissue being treated so all you feel is the slight movement of the laser tip.
If your gums haven’t receded properly, or if a tooth is erupting slower than expected, a laser can be used to remove excess tissue and reveal enough tooth surface to place a bracket.
Impactions refer to teeth that haven’t erupted properly through the gums. By using laser treatment, we can assist a tooth’s eruption without the need to wait months for the tooth to erupt on its own, or to refer an expensive surgical procedure.
Following the removal of your braces, Dr. Larson may recommend recontouring your gum line to maximize the aesthetics of your smile. Aesthetic gingival recontouring is a procedure to reshape the gum line to improve the aesthetics of your smile by exposing more of your teeth. Dr. Larson will use a laser to remove excess gum tissue around the upper teeth to make them look longer. If the gum line is uneven, aesthetic gingival recontouring can also sculpt the gum line to produce a more symmetrical, balanced smile.
All smiles start with a free exam. This visit gives you the chance to meet our team and learn more about your treatment options. Many patients even find it convenient to start treatment the same day as their exam!
I love the team & the environment. My appts are a far drive but, it’s made worth it because of how fast and friendly they are, I feel very welcomed here. My teeth are also poster worthy! And I’ve only had my braces for 6 months. Definitely recommend.
We have had only great experiences. Everyone is super kind and even when we have needed last minute appointments they always find a way to fit us in. Dr. Larson and his team are one of a kind! ❤️
Dr. Larson and his team are all very kind and inviting. The whole treatment experience thus far has been wonderful, Dr. Listens to my concerns and addresses them with patience. I’m always greeted with a friendly smile, and the assistants are all knowledgeable and gentle. I have recommended this place to everyone I know who is seeking orthodontic treatment.
I have had an amazing experience with Havasu Orthodontics Dr Larson and team! They are wonderful every time I go in for my appointment! I will definitely refer them to everyone and bring my kids there as well!!! Thank you so much!
Excellent staff, excellent orthodontist, excellent atmosphere. I highly recommend this establishment; I simply could not imagine going anywhere else.
