Leaders in Laser Periodontics and Soft Tissue Techniques
Precision Laser Dentistry for Soft Tissue Needs
As trusted members of our community, many dentists and patients turn to our team at Michigan Implants and Periodontics for precision, comfortable care. We are proud to offer the the latest in advanced laser periodontics from our Ann Arbor, MI, and Jackson, MI, locations. Using top-rated lasers designed specifically for laser periodontics, we perform these procedures with refined skill and expert technique. Laser periodontics offers a minimally invasive approach to soft tissue procedures like gingivectomy, frenectomy and soft tissue recontouring treatment, eliminating the need for incisions, sutures and even local anesthetic, in some cases. With laser periodontics, you and your loved ones experience greater comfort, faster healing and immediate cosmetic results.
We utilize laser technology for a number of treatments, including:
Gingivectomy Treatment
With this laser periodontics procedure, we gently remove excess, overgrown or infected gum tissue from around the teeth. Gingivectomies are a procedure sometimes used to help treat gum disease by removing diseased tissue and thereby reducing periodontal pocket depths. Using laser periodontics to perform a gingivectomy is a minimally invasive approach to improving the condition of the gums and creating a healthy looking smile.
Frenectomy Procedure
A frenectomy is a simple, quick periodontal service performed to treat lip- and tongue-ties. This type of laser periodontics treatment releases a tight or short frenum, the strip of tissue attaching the lips to the gums and the tongue to the floor of the mouth. In younger children, a lip- or tongue-tie may impede proper eating, speaking and breathing ability. The same condition may interfere with an adult’s ability to wear a denture. Our periodontists swiftly perform a frenectomy by using our laser to release the frenum, freeing the lips or tongue and allowing for proper oral function.

Soft Tissue Recontouring
Soft tissue recontouring is a laser periodontics procedure commonly performed to enhance esthetics by eliminating the look of a “gummy smile.” With our high-powered precision laser, we gently sculpt the gums appearing within the smile zone, revealing a better tooth-to-gum ratio and healthy, even gumline.
