Why We Use a CO2 Laser for Frenectomies
At Bloomy's Laser Dentistry, we perform frenectomies using advanced CO2 laser technology because it allows us to provide precise, gentle, and efficient treatment for infants and children.
Unlike traditional surgical techniques that use a scalpel or scissors, the CO2 laser precisely releases the restrictive tissue while minimizing trauma to the surrounding area. This technology also seals small blood vessels as it works, resulting in a cleaner procedure with excellent visibility.
