Laser gum surgery is the latest and most advanced method available to combat periodontitis. First, the dentist will measure the depth of your periodontal pockets using a special tool. Then, the dentist will position the laser's fiber-optic tip at the top of the pocket. The laser will destroy infected tissue and kill any bacteria below the gum line. The dentist will use an ultrasonic cleaning tool to remove any tartar and calculus that has formed below the gum line. The laser is then used to remove any remaining bacteria and to help the blood to seal around the now clean pocket. This prevents new germs from entering space, and helps the body heal faster.

Laser gum surgery is gentle, requiring no stitches and minimal downtime
