What Is Soft Tissue Laser Surgery?
Soft tissue laser surgery uses a focused beam of light to precisely target and treat gum tissue without traditional incisions or sutures.
This technology allows Dr. Kharmouche to:

- Reshape uneven gums
- Treat periodontal pockets
- Perform cosmetic gum recontouring
- Reduce bacteria deep below the gumline
Laser treatment is minimally invasive and often results in shorter healing times compared to traditional techniques.
