Laser-Assisted Gum Therapy and Gum Grafts
Laser-assisted therapy is an innovative, minimally invasive procedure that treats gum disease and helps to regenerate healthy gums. Using a dental laser, we are able to remove inflamed gum tissue from around the root of the tooth. Gum grafts, which are used to treat root exposure, can also be performed more easily and comfortably using laser-assisted therapy.
This technology allows us to target the diseased areas precisely and accurately, reducing trauma to healthy tissue in the process. The high-energy beam of the laser acts as a coagulant, reducing or eliminating bleeding. The laser also sterilizes the area, minimizing the chance of bacterial infection.
The benefits of laser-assisted gum therapy include:
- Minimal bleeding, pain, and swelling since laser therapy is less invasive than regular surgery.
- There is no need for general anesthetic like other forms of dental surgery.
- Shorter recovery and healing times.
