Laser Mucocele Removal

What is Laser Mucocele Removal?
Laser Mucocele Removal is a minimally invasive dental procedure used to treat mucoceles fluid-filled cysts that form on the inner lips, floor of the mouth or cheeks due to blocked or damaged salivary glands. Instead of traditional surgical excision, this procedure uses soft-tissue lasers to precisely remove the mucocele with minimal bleeding, swelling or discomfort. Laser treatment promotes faster healing, reduces the risk of infection and typically does not require stitches. It is a safe and effective option, especially for children or anxious patients seeking a gentler alternative to conventional surgery.

When Do You Need Laser Mucocele Removal?
- Presence of a soft, painless bump inside the lip or cheek
- Repeated swelling or bursting of a cyst-like lesion in the mouth
- Difficulty eating, speaking or chewing due to the lesion
- A bluish, translucent or fluid-filled sac inside the mouth
- The lesion doesn’t heal or disappears and returns
- Discomfort or irritation from accidental biting
- Cosmetic concern or embarrassment from visible swelling

Dr. Janani is one of the excellent dentists I have seen. She is treating my son with invisilign braces and I too come here for all my dental related issues. She has enormous patience and answers all the queries of the patients with a beautiful smile always on her face. I really appreciate her treatment methods though I don't have any medical knowledge to comment on the same but I don't visit her for the same problem. It is solved in one go.
My husband is a patient of Dr. Sanjay who is also equally good. Dr. Sanjay too have a lot of resilience and treats the patients with a smile. I highly recommend this clinic for any dental related or smile correction issues. You will get a satisfied result here. Sculpt clinic is one of the best clinics in Chennai.
