Laser Gum therapy

What is Laser Gum Therapy?

Laser Gum Therapy, also known as Laser-Assisted Periodontal Therapy, is a modern and minimally invasive treatment for moderate to severe gum disease. It uses a diode laser to remove unhealthy gum tissue and bacteria from periodontal pockets, helping to restore gum health. Unlike traditional gum surgery, laser treatment eliminates the need for stitches, speeds up recovery, and offers a comfortable experience.

How Does It Work?

A laser is used to target and remove infected gum tissue.
The laser seals the treated area instantly, reducing bleeding and discomfort.
The procedure promotes healing, reshapes affected tissue, and preserves healthy gums.
In some cases, it may also assist in regenerating lost gum and bone tissue.

Types of Laser Gum Therapy

1. Laser Flap Surgery (Laser-Assisted Flap Surgery)

Recommended for individuals with severe gum disease, this procedure involves lifting the gum tissue to access deep-seated infection. The laser removes bacteria, and the gums are repositioned to promote healing.

2. Laser Gingivectomy

Used to remove excess gum tissue or reshape the gum line for both health and cosmetic reasons. This treatment is beneficial for those with gum overgrowth or uneven gums.

3. Laser Gum Depigmentation

A cosmetic laser treatment that lightens dark or pigmented gums for a more even and natural-looking gum color.

4. LANAP (Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure)

A specialized laser technique that treats advanced gum disease while preserving healthy tissue and encouraging bone regeneration.

When Should You Consider Laser Flap Treatment?

You may need laser flap treatment if you have:

Severe gum disease (periodontitis) with deep pockets and infection.
Receding gums or gum degeneration.
Loose or shifting teeth due to gum disease.
Chronic gum inflammation that does not improve with regular cleanings.

Depending on your condition, your dentist may also suggest tissue regeneration procedures or gum grafts for enhanced results.
