A 10-watt diode laser for periodontal and soft-tissue surgery: little discomfort, often no stitches and early healing.
Perio & Oral Surgery
In periodontal and oral surgery the laser works as a precise, bloodless cutting and sealing tool. For many soft-tissue procedures this means little or no anaesthetic injection, no scalpel, often no stitches, and a more comfortable early recovery.
We use a 10-watt BIOLASE Epic X diode laser. Procedures are carried out by our laser-trained team: Dr. Anish Goyal and Dr. Neha Sharma, with periodontal care by Dr. Ashish Verma.

Benefits In Surgery
Minimal tissue trauma and often little or no injection for minor procedures.
Tissue is sealed as it is treated, so stitches are frequently avoided.
Less bleeding and swelling usually mean a more comfortable first few days.
Coagulation of small vessels gives better visibility for precise work.
Helps decontaminate gum pockets and surgical sites as an addition to standard care.
Controlled removal of diseased or excess tissue while preserving healthy tissue.
Procedures
| Procedure | How the laser helps |
|---|---|
| Gum contouring (gingivectomy) | Reshapes uneven or excess gum for a balanced smile with little bleeding and often no stitches. |
| Gummy smile correction | Soft-tissue reshaping to expose more tooth, where the problem is excess gum. |
| Crown lengthening (soft tissue) | Exposes more tooth for restoration where only soft tissue needs to be reshaped. |
| Gum disease (periodontitis) therapy | Removes diseased pocket lining and reduces bacteria as an addition to deep cleaning. |
| Frenectomy | Releases a tight lip or tongue attachment quickly, usually with little bleeding and no stitches. |
| Gum depigmentation | Removes dark gum pigmentation for an even gum colour. See our article on laser gum depigmentation. |
| Operculectomy and pericoronitis | Treats the gum flap over a partly erupted wisdom tooth. |
| Overgrown gum (hyperplasia) | Removes excess gum caused by medication, braces or inflammation. |
| Fibroma and soft-tissue lesion removal | Removes small benign growths precisely, with tissue sent for examination when needed. |
| Biopsy of soft tissue | Small, controlled sampling with minimal bleeding. |
| Implant second-stage uncovering | Exposes the implant to attach the healing abutment without a scalpel flap. |
| Peri-implantitis care | Decontaminates inflamed tissue around implants as part of treatment. |
Your Visit
Examination, medical history and a plan. Laser is used only if it suits your case.
Protective eyewear for everyone, and topical or local anaesthetic only when needed.
Precise treatment, often brief, with little bleeding and often no stitches.
Simple instructions, and a review visit where needed.
Aftercare
Healing after laser soft-tissue treatment is usually comfortable and quick, but it varies. We give you written aftercare instructions for your procedure. In general: keep the area clean, avoid very hot, spicy or sharp foods for the first few days, and contact us if you notice unusual pain, bleeding or swelling. Some cases still need sutures or conventional surgery, and we will tell you before treatment.
Questions
Most patients find it much more comfortable than conventional surgery, and many minor procedures need little or no anaesthetic injection. Comfort varies by procedure, and we will explain what to expect for your case.
Often, yes. The laser seals the tissue as it works, so many soft-tissue procedures do not need sutures. Your dentist will tell you in advance if stitches are needed.
Early healing is usually more comfortable because there is less bleeding and swelling. Healing time depends on the procedure and on you, and your clinician will give an estimate.
Laser is used together with standard gum treatment, not as a replacement. Your periodontist will plan the right combination for your case.
Dr. Ashish Verma, our periodontist, leads gum care, with oral surgery by Dr. Neha Sharma and laser-assisted procedures by Dr. Anish Goyal, who completed WCLI diode laser training.
Message us with your concern for an initial assessment. Laser is used only where it is clinically suitable.
