One of our favorite advancements in dentistry is our soft-tissue laser. This amazing technology gives us the ability to be extremely precise in our soft-tissue treatments.
Periodontal laser therapy is a treatment specifically for patients affected by gum disease. The dental laser is used to access hard-to-reach gum tissue and then remove swollen and painful gum tissue surrounding the tooth root.
After the tissue is removed, the laser is used to perform root scaling or a removal of the plaque or calculus that has invaded beneath the gum line. The root is then smoothed to prevent future infection. This process promotes tissue regeneration and healing of the gum tissue and tooth.
Some of the benefits of laser dentistry include:
Limiting bleeding and pain that an otherwise invasive surgery might cause.
The ability to specifically target diseased areas.
A shorter recovery period.
General anesthesia is not needed.
Our soft-tissue laser therapy is a convenient and painless way to treat your gum disease issues. Laser gum surgery is performed with exactness, and our dentist can use this minimally invasive method to help you get rid of your periodontal problems.
A gummy smile can also be corrected with our soft tissue laser therapy. When a patient has a gummy smile, it means the mouth has an excess of gum tissue, making it look puffy or making your teeth look shorter than they really are. With the use of a soft-tissue laser, Dr. Michelsen will reshape your gums to give you the stunning smile you have always wanted!

I've been procrastinating on going to the dentist for a few years because I was nervous of what I might need. But after visiting with Dr. Michelsen, I found that I was worried for no reason at all. She and her staff are kind, patient, and gentle! I'm smiling because, not only are my teeth nice and healthy again, I also got my smile brightened. It looks better than I thought possible...and makes me feel happy about myself again.

Very helpful and friendly staff. I love that they make your crown right there and you don't have to have a temporary tooth and wait for the permanent tooth.

My husband and I are both patients of Dr. Michelsen. As she has recently taken over this practice, we have only had a few visits with her but right off the bat, she made us feel right at ease and very comfortable with both her skill as a dentist and also her personal attention to her patients. She takes the time to get to know you, which we like. Her office staff is always very warm and inviting and never fail to greet you with a smile. I have already referred a friend and hoping we have the opportunity to refer others!
