What Is Gum Disease Laser Therapy?

Periodontal laser therapy uses dental laser technology to assist in the treatment of gum disease. Depending on your periodontal condition and treatment plan, laser-assisted therapy may be used to remove diseased tissue and reduce bacteria below the gumline as part of comprehensive periodontal care. Whether laser therapy is recommended depends on the severity of your periodontal disease and your clinical findings.

When Might Laser Therapy Be Recommended?

Laser-assisted periodontal therapy may be recommended if you:

  • Have moderate to advanced periodontal disease
  • Have inflamed or infected gum tissue
  • Experience bleeding gums during brushing or flossing
  • Have deep periodontal pockets

Every recommendation is based on a comprehensive clinical evaluation rather than a routine approach.

  • Reduce bacteria within periodontal pockets
