Laser Therapy

Laser Therapy

Treating gum disease doesn’t have to involve invasive surgery. Our office uses laser therapy as a minimally invasive, highly effective option for managing periodontal disease. This advanced treatment precisely targets bacteria and infected tissue, helping you heal faster and more comfortably.

What Is Laser Periodontal Therapy?

Laser therapy involves using a focused beam of light to remove diseased tissue and harmful bacteria from periodontal pockets around the teeth. It’s often used as an alternative to traditional surgical methods or combined with scaling and root planing.

Laser therapy is ideal for patients with moderate to advanced gum disease who want a gentler treatment option.

The procedure is typically completed in a single visit or as part of a multi-step periodontal plan. We’ll use a soft-tissue laser to carefully remove infected tissue and sterilize the area. Most patients experience minimal discomfort and can return to normal activities quickly.

We may combine laser therapy with other periodontal treatments, depending on the severity of your condition.
