No Scalpels, No Stitches: What to Expect During Laser Periodontal Therapy

Fear of traditional gum surgery keeps people away from the dentist. Discover our pain-free, stitch-free laser alternative.

The fear of traditional gum surgery causes many to lose teeth that could have easily been saved. Our laser alternative completely eliminates the need for scalpels, incisions, and stitches.

COMFORT FIRST AND COMPLETE BACTERIAL ELIMINATION

The area around the targeted teeth is completely numbed with local anesthetic, ensuring you feel absolutely no pain. A fiber-optic tip, roughly the thickness of three human hairs, is inserted gently between your tooth and gum to instantly destroy disease-causing bacteria.

CLEAR ROOT CALCULUS

Ultrasonic scalers clear away hardened tartar deposits from root surfaces relaxed by the initial laser pass.

CONSTRUCT A FIBRIN LOCK

The laser passes through a final time to create a precise, sterile blood clot clot that seals the pocket shut.

RAPID RECOVERY WITHOUT THE DOWNTIME

Because there are no structural cuts or stitches, post-operative discomfort is minimal. Most patients manage any minor soreness with over-the-counter ibuprofen and return to their regular work and life schedule the very next day.
