Laser Periodontal Treatment
At our dental office, we offer advanced laser periodontal treatment to effectively address gum disease while ensuring your comfort. This minimally invasive procedure is a modern alternative to traditional gum surgery, providing precision and faster recovery times.
Understanding Laser Periodontal Treatment
Gum disease, or periodontal disease, occurs when bacteria-laden plaque and tartar accumulate, causing infection and inflammation in the gums. If untreated, it can lead to gum recession, tooth loss, and other health issues. Laser periodontal treatment uses targeted laser energy to remove infected tissue and bacteria from the gum pockets, promoting healthy tissue regeneration.
The Procedure
1. Comprehensive Evaluation
During your appointment, we perform a thorough examination of your teeth and gums. Using advanced diagnostic tools, including X-rays, we assess the extent of gum disease and determine if laser therapy is the best option.
2. Treatment Plan
Once you’re a candidate, we create a personalized treatment plan. Before beginning, we’ll explain every step to ensure you’re comfortable and informed.
3. Laser Therapy Session
- We begin by numbing the treatment area to minimize discomfort.
- The laser is precisely directed into the gum pockets to remove infected tissue and eliminate harmful bacteria.
- Simultaneously, the laser seals the gum tissue, reducing bleeding and speeding up the healing process.
4. Post-Treatment Care
After treatment, we provide aftercare instructions, including tips for maintaining oral hygiene and dietary recommendations. Most patients experience minimal discomfort and can resume normal activities the same day.
