The Truth About Laser Gum Contouring vs. Regenerative Laser Therapy

Don't confuse cosmetic trimming with deep healing. Learn the critical difference between aesthetic and saving lasers.

The term "laser dentistry" covers everything from cosmetic updates to deep bone repair. It's vital to know exactly which laser is required to save loose, infected teeth from extraction.

PENETRATE TO DEEP RETENTION LAYERS

Regenerative lasers pass safely through tissue without cutting to target bone infection deep around roots.

RECOGNIZE WAVELENGTH FUNCTION MATCHES

True laser therapy seals pockets and sparks tissue attachment without removing vital gum height.
