Laser treatment offers a less painful, more successful treatment alternative to conventional surgery. Laser treatment is one of the most successful protocols in treating gum disease because it can target the source of the inflammation without hurting or removing any healthy gum tissue, slow or stop attachment loss and decrease pocket depth, and allowing the body to recover from the chronic infection without the need for scalpel or sutures.

In laser gum therapy, no scalpels or sutures are used. A laser fiber is placed between the teeth and gums into the periodontal pocket. The  laser then selectively removes diseased tissue lining the gums in the pocket and kills the bacteria as well. The roots are then cleaned using an ultrasonic device. The laser is used again to seal around the area around the tooth. This creates a clot seal that allows your body to heal naturally. Essentially, the difference is laser gum therapy promotes regeneration to reduce the periodontal pocket depths while Traditional gum removes diseased tissue to attain a healthy periodontal pocket depth.
