At Riverside Dental Centre we are pleased to offer Lip and Tongue Tie Releases with the LightScalpel CO2 laser. Lip and Tongue surgeries can be performed from 2 days old to any age. This laser is a focused beam of light that cuts cleanly and exactly, while sealing the blood vessels. Using traditional means with scalpels or scissors can bruise or damage the tissue. Using the LightScalpel means only the beam of light works on the tissues. Less trauma! The advantage of laser surgery is rather than crushing the tissues we uniquely vaporize or erase the tissue. Our laser is so precise we can remove only a few cells or it is powerful enough to debulk larger growths.

Are LightScalpel Laser Procedures Safe?

When used according to accepted guidelines by a trained practitioner, the laser is as safe as other instruments. You will wear special protective glasses, just like you would to protect your eyes from sun exposure.

Is Laser Surgery Appropriate For Me?

A laser can perform a wide variety of surgical procedures. Dr. Oldfin will be able to tell you if you are a candidate for laser surgery.
