Gum disease is a common oral health issue that affects the tissues surrounding the teeth. When left untreated, it can lead to bone loss, gum recession and eventual tooth loss. At Vibe Dental, we use advanced laser gum treatment to help manage and reverse the effects of gum disease. Our dentists and team provide targeted care, designed to improve both periodontal health and patient comfort.
Benefits of Laser Gum Treatment
Laser technology offers a minimally invasive alternative to traditional gum surgery. By using focused light energy, lasers can remove diseased tissue, kill bacteria and promote healing without the need for incisions or sutures.
Benefits of laser gum therapy include:
- Reduced bleeding and inflammation
- Faster healing time with minimal discomfort
- Precise targeting of infected areas
- Preservation of healthy gum tissue
- Lower risk of infection post-treatment
This method is especially effective for patients with moderate to advanced periodontal disease who may not respond well to traditional scaling and root planing alone.
How Laser Treatment Works
Dr. Justin Palmer, Dr. Daniel Lyu and Dr. Aaron Stroh begin by performing a comprehensive periodontal evaluation, using diagnostic imaging to assess the extent of infection and tissue damage. During treatment, a specialized dental laser is used to gently remove infected tissue from the gum pockets. The laser energy simultaneously sterilizes the area and encourages the reattachment of healthy gum tissue to the teeth.
Unlike conventional surgery, this approach involves no cutting or stitching, which significantly reduces discomfort during and after the procedure. Most patients report a quicker recovery and less post-treatment sensitivity.
Supporting Periodontal Health Long-Term
Laser gum therapy is part of a comprehensive periodontal maintenance plan. After treatment, our dentists will provide customized oral care recommendations and schedule regular follow-ups to monitor your progress. These ongoing appointments are essential for preventing recurrence and maintaining healthy gums.
Patients with advanced gum disease may also benefit from continued use of antimicrobial rinses, prescription toothpaste or professional cleanings at shorter intervals. By combining laser therapy with consistent home care, patients can significantly reduce the risk of tooth loss and other complications.
