Laser Assisted Gum Procedures

Laser-Assisted Gum Procedures are a cutting-edge, minimally invasive approach to treating gum issues, using laser technology to target and treat areas of the gums with precision. These procedures are often quicker, more comfortable, and require less recovery time than traditional gum surgery.

Types of Laser-Assisted Gum Procedures

Laser technology can be used for various gum treatments, including:

• 1. Gum Disease Treatment
• 2. Gum Reshaping
• 3. Crown Lengthening
• 4. Treatment Of Canker Sores And Cold Sores

How Laser-Assisted Gum Procedures Work

• Initial Evaluation

  The dentist or periodontist first assesses your gums to determine if laser treatment is suitable for your specific condition. Common conditions treated with lasers include gum disease, gum reshaping, and removal of excess tissue.

• Targeted Laser Treatment

  Using a specialized dental laser, the dentist carefully directs light energy onto affected areas. The laser can remove diseased tissue, kill bacteria, and stimulate the tissue for faster healing. The laser energy is highly targeted, leaving surrounding healthy tissue untouched.

• Minimally Invasive and Painless

  Laser treatment is gentle on the gums and often requires little or no anesthesia. This approach minimizes bleeding, swelling, and discomfort both during and after the procedure.

• Shorter Recovery Time

  Because laser procedures cause minimal trauma to the gum tissue, the healing process is typically quicker than with traditional methods. Many patients can return to their regular activities sooner.
