Is laser periodontics safe

Yes. The laser is calibrated for dental use and delivered by trained clinicians. We adjust settings to your specific needs and monitor comfort throughout treatment.

How do I know if laser gum treatment is right for me?

If you have bleeding, swollen gums, deep pockets, or gum disease that has not improved with cleanings alone, we may recommend laser therapy after an exam and measurements.

Will laser treatment hurt or require stitches?

Most patients feel minimal discomfort. The laser is highly targeted, so there is usually little to no cutting or sutures, and soreness is often mild and short lived.

How long is recovery after laser gum treatment?

Most people return to normal activities quickly. You may follow a soft food and gentle cleaning routine for a day or two while the gums begin to heal.

Will laser treatment stop gum disease from coming back?

Laser therapy helps remove infection and support healing, but long-term success depends on good home care and regular maintenance visits.

Steps in Laser Gum Disease Treatment

From initial evaluation to follow-up care, each step is designed to remove infection and support healthy gums.

01. Consultation & Mapping

We review symptoms, measure gum pocket depths, and capture images to identify areas of active infection. This helps us understand where treatment is needed and why.

02. Personalized Treatment Planning

Based on your exam, we create a plan that targets specific areas for laser therapy and cleaning. The approach is customized to your gum condition and comfort.

03. Laser Therapy & Deep Cleaning

The laser removes diseased tissue and bacteria with precision. Root surfaces are cleaned to support healing and reattachment of the gums.

04. Stabilization & Follow-Up Care
