Laser Assisted Periodontal Therapy

Periodontal or gum disease can lead to bone loss if it is not treated accordingly. Common symptoms, including tartar build-up on the root surfaces of your teeth and deep periodontal pockets. In the past, gum disease has been treated with various surgical procedures.

While traditional treatments, which include cutting and suturing the gums, have been effective, they have many drawbacks including removal of tissue and uncomfortable recovery periods.

We use a new form of periodontal therapy - laser therapy. Using FDA-approved laser therapy to treat your gums has many advantages over the traditional surgical methods. Laser therapy is able to:

• Eliminate the disease-causing bacteria and stop the infection
• Reduce periodontal pockets without incisions, stitches, post-op bleeding, swelling, or pain
• Safely treat patients with diabetes, bleeding disorders, or who take blood thinning medications
• Maintain the healthy results over time, with less recurrence

If you suffer from gum disease and need periodontal therapy, you should contact us today to schedule an initial consultation. There's no better time to experience the beauty of a healthy smile!
