Laser Periodontal Therapy Rio Rancho, NM

One of the treatments Dr. Duane Marshall may recommend to help manage gum disease is laser periodontal therapy. This state-of-the-art treatment option is designed to fight the disease effectively and precisely, while also being minimally invasive and more comfortable.

What is Laser Periodontal Therapy?

Laser periodontal therapy is a modern approach to treating periodontal disease. This innovative method uses a dental laser to specifically target and eliminate the bacteria that cause gum disease, while preserving the surrounding healthy tissue. If you are experiencing symptoms like gum inflammation, bleeding or discomfort, our dentist may recommend laser periodontal therapy as an effective treatment option. Unlike traditional methods that may require cutting and sutures, laser therapy is minimally invasive, offering a quicker and more comfortable patient experience.

The Laser Gum Treatment Procedure

The procedure for laser gum treatment is straightforward and typically causes minimal discomfort. During the treatment, a specialized dental laser is used to carefully remove the infected gum tissue. The laser’s precision allows it to target diseased areas without affecting the surrounding healthy tissue. This precision not only helps in preserving more of your natural gum but also aids in a faster healing process. The laser also promotes clotting, which eliminates the need for sutures and reduces bleeding during the procedure. Most patients find that they can resume their normal activities soon after treatment, making it a convenient option for those with busy schedules.

Benefits of Laser Gum Therapy

Choosing laser gum therapy offers numerous benefits over traditional gum disease treatments. These benefits include:

• A less invasive procedure, which means you can enjoy a more comfortable treatment experience with less pain and discomfort.
• Reduced risk of infection and decreases swelling post-treatment, ensuring a smoother recovery.
• Eliminates the need for stitches and significantly minimizes bleeding.
• Allows for the preservation of more of your natural tissue, which can lead to better long-term outcomes for your oral health.
