Laser Gum Therapy
Laser Gum Therapy is a modern, minimally invasive dental procedure used to treat gum disease by targeting infected gum tissue and harmful bacteria using advanced laser technology. It is an effective alternative to traditional surgical gum treatments and is designed to promote healing while preserving healthy gum tissue. This therapy is commonly recommended for patients with moderate to advanced periodontal disease, characterized by swollen, bleeding gums, deep gum pockets, and bone loss.
Diagnosis includes a detailed clinical examination, periodontal pocket measurements, and dental imaging to evaluate the extent of gum infection and bone support. During the procedure, the laser is used to remove diseased tissue and disinfect the gum pockets, while encouraging regeneration of healthy tissue and reattachment of the gums to the teeth. The laser also helps reduce bacteria and inflammation, supporting faster recovery.
Laser gum therapy is typically performed under local anesthesia to ensure patient comfort. The procedure causes minimal bleeding, reduced discomfort, and shorter healing time compared to conventional surgery. Treatment planning is individualized based on the patient’s age, oral health, and severity of gum disease. Post-treatment follow-up and good oral hygiene are essential to maintain results and prevent recurrence of periodontal problems.
