Laser Gum Treatment

At Smiles Elevated, we use the latest advancements in dental technology to provide precise, comfortable, and efficient treatments. One of the most versatile tools in modern dentistry is the Precise LTM Diode Laser, a minimally invasive solution to target gum disease causing bacteria and infected tissue. This cutting-edge laser technology enhances patient comfort, reduces healing time, and improves overall treatment outcomes.

Benefits of Laser Dentistry

Using the Precise LTM Diode Laser offers several advantages over conventional treatment methods:

• Minimized Discomfort – Less invasive than traditional techniques, often requiring little to no anesthesia.
• Faster Healing – Reduced bleeding and swelling promote quicker recovery.
• Greater Precision – Targets only the affected tissue while preserving surrounding healthy areas.
• Lower Risk of Infection – The laser sterilizes as it works, decreasing bacterial exposure.

Gingivitis

If your dental checkup revealed significant gum inflammation or bleeding, laser treatment may be used to enhance pocket reduction and healing, and decreases gingival bleeding and inflammation. The laser also reduces bacterial populations inside the inflamed gum tissue and leads to faster healing and reduced post-operative pain. It has been shown that the use of laser technology in combination with dental cleaning led to better clinical outcomes.

Periodontal Disease

A diode laser used in conjunction with a “deep cleaning” for treatment of periodontal disease enhances wound healing, and decreases gingival bleeding, inflammation and pocket depths. The laser also reduces bacterial populations inside the diseased gum tissue and leads to faster healing and less post-operative pain. It has been shown that SRP and the use of laser technology together led to better clinical outcomes than SRP alone, with inflammation reduction evident up to six weeks after therapy.
