Laser Surgery for Small Lesions
Laser Surgery for Small Lesions
Laser Surgery for Small Lesions is a safe, precise, and minimally invasive procedure used to remove soft-tissue lesions inside the mouth. These lesions may include fibromas, mucoceles, small growths, papillomas, traumatic bumps, or overgrown gum tissue. Using advanced soft-tissue laser technology, the lesion is removed with excellent accuracy and minimal discomfort — without the need for blades or stitches.
- No cutting or stitches — completely blade-free procedure.
- Minimal bleeding due to immediate laser coagulation.
- Faster healing and reduced swelling.
- Less pain during and after treatment.
- Highly precise removal of the lesion without damaging healthy tissue.
During the procedure, the dentist examines the lesion and numbs the area if needed. A focused laser beam is then used to gently remove the unwanted tissue while simultaneously sealing blood vessels and nerve endings. This results in minimal bleeding, reduced discomfort, and a clean surgical site. The removed tissue can be sent for biopsy when necessary.
Common Conditions Treated
- Fibroma (small benign tissue growth)
- Mucocele (fluid-filled cyst on lip or mouth)
- Papilloma (small wart-like growth)
- Gum overgrowth (gingival hyperplasia)
- Traumatic or irritation bumps
