Deka CO2 Laser Technology

Dr. Last is fortunate to be able to use a high-powered CO2 laser for many procedures performed in her office. The laser is used for several procedures, especially those involved in changing the appearance or function of gum tissue. One service that is particularly beneficial is use of the laser to improve esthetic appearance of the gums by changing their height and shape. The benefit of using the laser for this procedure, instead of the traditional scalpel, is that it is typically much more comfortable and precise. Sometimes, the procedure can even be performed without the use of anesthetic.
