Heal & Protect Your Gums With Laser Treatment

The first recommendation for treating the early stages of periodontal or gum disease is usually a deep cleaning of all your teeth. If your early stage gum infection treatment does not work entirely, or if the disease is more advanced, we may recommend gum surgery.

Traditional gum surgery involves using a scalpel to cut the gums and treat the disease. Not only is it uncomfortable, but it involves the risk of gum recession, which means more of the roots are exposed. There may be more teeth sensitivity and a higher risk of cavities on the exposed roots.

Laser gum therapy is a new alternative to traditional gum surgery. Laser gum therapies are less invasive and less painful, and they offer faster recovery. You can receive either:

• Diode laser therapy, which research shows kills the bacteria and viruses that cause gum disease and reduces the number of bacteria and viruses that can enter the bloodstream and possibly affect your heart. It’s an excellent way to treat early gum disease and to do routine periodontal or gum disease maintenance.
• LANAP laser gum surgery, which may be indicated if your gum disease is more severe. This is the most advanced laser gum surgery available. We work closely with a specialist who is specifically trained to perform this type of laser surgery.
