Laser Therapy
Stepping into the next millennium with laser therapy...
There is now a way to avoid scalpels, bleeding, and sutures for gum procedures.
We most often use our diode laser for recontouring and resculpting gum tissue
when a patient's smile is "too gummy" or when the gumline appears uneven. Using
this technology also reduces the time it takes to heal, meaning you can get back
to your regular schedule sooner than if you underwent traditional gum surgery.
Awareness and treatment of periodontal disease has increased greatly over the
past twenty years. However, the laser is also an integral part in the removal of
infected, diseased or inflamed gum tissue around the teeth.
This can improve and reduce bleeding gums, loosened teeth, and deep periodontal
pockets around the teeth, all of which are indicators of active gum disease.
We can customize a program for you using laser therapy in order to get
these symptoms under control and save your teeth.

devastating effects of periodontal disease.
In addition, the laser can be used for treatment of painful apthous ulcers
(canker sores) and fever blisters in order to alleviate soreness and promote
healing. It can also be used in the rare case that a patient may need a biopsy,
greatly reducing healing times.
