If you suffer from more advanced stages of periodontitis, you may benefit from laser gum therapy. Gum disease affects your oral health in many ways and can make enjoying regular activities like eating or smiling difficult.

However, our team will thoroughly review your medical history, gum condition and discuss your concerns before continuing with laser therapy.

How does gum laser therapy work?

Laser therapy for gum disease is efficient and minimally invasive. At Santa Teresa Smiles, our team uses a soft tissue laser to treat the disease portions of the gumline and promote regrowth. Besides using the laser to remove inflamed gum tissue from the gums, our team will also remove tartar or plaque buildup below and around the gumline. After laser gum therapy, healing will be necessary for your gums to tighten back around the tooth. Before and after your laser therapy treatment, we’ll provide you with the best post-op care instructions.
