Frequently Asked Questions on Laser Gum Surgery

Laser therapy is not a standalone treatment but works in conjunction with traditional therapies. In periodontal laser therapy, your periodontist uses a laser to access and remove the inflamed gum tissue from around your tooth's root. They then remove the tartar and plaque built up below and around your gumline. Laser periodontal treatment is a highly effective way to treat gum disease while reducing pain and bleeding, and shortening recovery time. 

The traditional treatment for gum disease – traditional gum surgery – is both expensive, very painful, and has significant drawbacks. In contrast, non-surgical laser gum treatments, performed by a qualified laser dentist, offer a pain-free, effective and affordable alternative to gum surgery.
