Is laser dentistry safe for patients of all ages?

Yes, dental lasers are exceptionally safe, FDA-approved, and can be used on infants (for tongue-tie release), children, adults, and seniors. Both the patient and dental team wear specialized protective eyewear during use.

Do laser dental treatments require stitches?

In almost all soft-tissue laser treatments, stitches are completely unnecessary. Because the laser cauterizes blood vessels and seals tissue margins as it works, the area heals naturally without sutures.

How does laser treatment help with mouth ulcers (canker sores)?

Applying low-level laser energy to an aphthous ulcer seals exposed nerve endings instantly, providing immediate pain relief and shortening the healing time from 10–14 days down to 24–48 hours.

What is the cost of laser dental treatment in Pune?

Laser ulcer treatment costs ₹1,000–₹2,000 per lesion; laser cosmetic gum contouring ranges from ₹3,000 to ₹8,000 depending on the number of teeth; and laser gum depigmentation typically ranges from ₹6,000 to ₹14,000 for a full arch.

What happens during a laser dentistry procedure?

Dr. Sneha examines the area, explains the procedure and numbs it with topical gel or local anaesthetic. Everyone in the room wears protective eyewear while the diode laser is used for a few minutes to contour, depigment or treat the tissue, usually without stitches. You then receive simple healing guidance.

Understanding the treatment

What is Laser Dentistry & Soft Tissue Care?

Dental lasers treat gums and soft tissue with minimal bleeding and often without stitches. A soft-tissue diode laser precisely reshapes or removes tissue while sealing blood vessels. At Dr. Sneha-The Dental Studio in Wadgaon Sheri, Pune, we offer laser dentistry for patients from Kharadi, Viman Nagar and Kalyani Nagar.

Dr. Sneha Sardar (BDS) uses it for gum contouring, laser gum depigmentation, mouth ulcers and tongue-tie release, with protective eyewear and a fresh sterile tip each time. Lasers also support gum treatment and frenectomy. You can book a consultation.

After your visit

Recovery & aftercare

Good aftercare protects your result. We'll give you personalised instructions after treatment; this is a general guide to what most patients can expect.

Recovery timeline

First 24 hours
Stick to cool or room-temperature soft foods; avoid hot, spicy, or crunchy snacks that could irritate healing tissue.
Gentle oral hygiene
Continue regular brushing while using extra care around the laser-treated area; do not scrub directly for 48 hours.
Healing appearance
A superficial white or yellowish healing film will form over the treated site; this is normal healing tissue and should not be wiped away.

Aftercare tips

If treated for aphthous ulcers, avoid acidic citrus fruits, tomatoes, and spicy chips for 48 hours to allow the sealed nerve endings to rest
Rinse gently with warm salt water twice daily starting the day after your laser treatment to keep the area clean and soothe tissues
Apply any prescribed soothing oral gel using a clean cotton swab rather than your fingers

Call us if you notice

Severe persistent bleeding that does not stop with a few minutes of gentle pressure

Laser gum depigmentation is a cosmetic procedure that gently vaporizes the superficial melanin layer of dark or patchy gums in a single visit, revealing natural, healthy coral pink gum tissue. Results routinely last for many years, though genetics and heavy smoking can cause gradual repigmentation.
