Of the many technological advances made in dentistry in recent years, laser dentistry is perhaps one of the most transformative. From corrective eye surgery to dental treatments, lasers have been increasingly used throughout the dental and medical fields because of their versatility, precision, and safety benefits. At Gentle Dental Care, we are proud to offer laser dentistry treatment for our patients in the Menomonie, Durand, Eau Claire, Baldwin, Colfax, and neighboring WI areas.
Laser dentistry for soft tissue care
Dental laser treatments offer many benefits when compared to more traditional methods—such as scalpels and incisions—of treating soft tissues. The soft tissues cover approximately 30 square inches of surface area in your mouth, and can require a variety of treatments due to issues such as:
- Gum disease
- Infections
- Canker sores and cold sores
- Pre-cancerous or cancerous lesions
- Other bumps or lumps
- Aesthetic reasons (such as a “gummy” smile)
- Treating children’s oral growth and development issues
Benefits of laser dental care
With the latest dental lasers, Dr. Emily Andre and can treat these issues (and more!) rapidly, effectively, and with less discomfort. Our dentists and patients alike love laser dentistry because of its many benefits. Laser dental care:

- Causes less pain and irritation
- Minimizes bleeding during and after treatment
- Is a conservative treatment method that preserves as much healthy tissue as possible during the procedure
