Soft Tissue Laser TherapyIn Eugene
Soft tissue laser therapy is a gentle and modern approach to treating a variety of gum and soft tissue conditions. At Sheldon Park Dental in Eugene, OR, Dr. Daniel McMaster uses advanced dental lasers to perform precise procedures with minimal discomfort and faster healing than traditional methods. Unlike old-fashioned surgical tools, the laser precisely targets inflamed or damaged tissue, reducing the need for sutures and accelerating recovery.
It's an ideal solution for patients who have anxiety around more invasive procedures. That’s because soft tissue laser therapy allows us to minimize bleeding, swelling, and post-treatment sensitivity. Whether addressing periodontal concerns, reshaping gum lines, or aiding in cold sore treatment, laser therapy provides effective, comfortable care.

The Benefits Of Soft Tissue Laser Therapy
Minimally Invasive and Virtually Painless
Laser dentistry eliminates the need for scalpels or stitches, resulting in treatment that’s far less intimidating and significantly more comfortable. Most patients report little to no pain during or after treatment.
Faster Healing and Recovery
Because lasers cauterize as they treat, they reduce bleeding and inflammation, leading to faster healing times and fewer complications during recovery. Patients can return to normal activities more quickly.
Precision Targeting for Better Results
Dental lasers allow for highly accurate targeting of diseased or excess tissue while preserving healthy areas. This precision supports better overall outcomes in both restorative and cosmetic procedures.
The Soft Tissue Laser Therapy Treatment Process
Consultation and Personalized Treatment Planning
Your journey begins with a one-on-one consultation with Dr. Daniel McMaster at Sheldon Park Dental. We’ll review your oral health history and goals, assess the condition of your gum tissue, and determine whether soft tissue laser therapy is the appropriate course. Our approach is always personalized, with special attention to your comfort needs and preferences, including sedation options when appropriate.
Comfort-Focused Laser Procedure
On the day of your procedure, the gum area is numbed to ensure a comfortable and worry-free experience. The dental laser is then used to gently reshape, remove, or treat soft tissue. Throughout the process, patients benefit from reduced noise, no vibration, and minimal bleeding, helping eliminate common triggers for dental stress and anxiety. Many procedures can be completed in a shorter amount of time compared to traditional methods.
Post-Treatment Care and Healing
Following your procedure, the Sheldon Park Dental team will provide easy, supportive aftercare instructions. Because the laser sterilizes as it works, you're less likely to experience swelling or infection. Most patients heal quickly with minimal discomfort and rarely need follow-up adjustments. We’ll monitor your healing and ensure you’re fully satisfied with the results of your treatment.
