CO2 Laser
A CO2 laser is a precise and concentrated beam of light that can gently remove soft tissue. We utilize this laser in dentistry for many procedures, but mostly we utilize this technology to perform restrictive frenum releases beneath the tongue and lip. Unlike a scalpel, this procedure does not typically require sutures. The process is more like "moving through tissue" with precision to lift away the tether. Laser surgery is a fast and precise process. There is typically very little bleeding and pain afterward.

WatchPAT is an FDA approved Home Sleep Apnea Device (HSAT) which utilizes your peripheral arterial signal to diagnose sleep apnea. Once our dental airway team determines you are a candidate for Sleep Disordered Breathing, an at home sleep study will be given to you for you to take home and comfortably sleep in your own bed at night. The results will be interpreted by a board certified sleep physician that will provide our team with a definitive diagnosis.
