Periodontal Care with Lasers

Today’s dentistry is about more than just treating problems—it’s about offering gentler, more precise, and more comfortable solutions. One of the most significant advancements in our field is the use of dental lasers. For a periodontal office like ours, this technology is a game-changer, providing minimally invasive options for treating gum disease and other soft tissue concerns.

How Do Lasers Work in Periodontal Treatment?

In our office, lasers are a powerful tool for various procedures, offering advantages over traditional surgical methods. A laser uses a focused light beam to treat targeted areas with incredible accuracy.

Targeting Bacteria: The laser energy precisely eliminates harmful bacteria deep within periodontal pockets, which are the spaces that form around teeth due to gum disease.

Promoting Healing: The laser also seals nerve endings and blood vessels as it works, which results in less bleeding, swelling, and discomfort. This creates an ideal environment for your body’s natural healing process to take over, leading to faster recovery times.

Removing Diseased Tissue: The laser can selectively remove only the infected and inflamed gum tissue without harming healthy tissue.

Cosmetic Enhancements: Lasers can be used for gum recontouring to improve the appearance of an uneven gum line, often referred to as a “gummy smile”.

Why Expertise Matters: The Importance of a Specialist

While laser technology offers incredible benefits, the power and precision of this equipment require specialized training and expertise. A dental laser is not a one-size-fits-all tool; different types and settings are needed for specific treatments.

As periodontists, our training focuses exclusively on the tissues and structures supporting your teeth. We have an in-depth understanding of how to properly use and adjust laser technology to ensure both safety and optimal results. Misusing a laser can lead to tissue damage and other complications.
