Dr. Michael Rogers and the team at Fairlington Dental in Arlington, VA, now offer the LightScalpel COâ‚‚ laser tongue-tie treatment and a non-surgical procedure to address snoring caused by soft-palate tissue vibration. To address snoring, gentle laser energy is applied to the soft palate and uvula to help firm tissues and reduce vibration that can contribute to noisy breathing during sleep. This approach requires no cutting or downtime and is often completed in a single session.
In addition to snoring-related care, Fairlington Dental uses LightScalpel COâ‚‚ laser technology for a variety of dental soft-tissue procedures, including tongue-tie release (frenectomy), soft-tissue sculpting, and gum contouring. After proper diagnosis, the release of a tongue-tie with the LightScalpel laser is a quick and gentle procedure that, in most cases, is bloodless. This laser offers many benefits for patients compared with traditional methods, including reduced bleeding, less swelling and discomfort, a lower risk of infection, shorter procedure times, and a smoother recovery.
Fairlington Dental combines modern technology with personalized care to tailor treatment plans to each patient’s needs. Learn more and request a consultation at fairlingtondental.com.
