Moderate to severe periodontal disease often requires surgical treatment. But today’s technology offers a less invasive alternative you might want to consider. Laser gum surgery in Dallas is transforming the way patients manage gum disease, thanks mostly to its precision and comfort. This advanced procedure, performed by an experienced Dallas periodontist, comes with numerous soft tissue laser benefits, from faster healing to reduced pain and bleeding. If you’re considering your options, here’s what you should know about modern laser treatment for gum disease and how it supports long-term oral health.
Quick Recovery Time with Laser-Assisted Gum Surgery
Compared to traditional gum surgery, which requires a two- to four-week recovery period, laser-assisted gum surgery is precise and efficient enough that you often can return to your regular daily activities on the same day!
Less Pain, Sensitivity, and Bleeding
Laser technology only involves a laser, which means no cutting, stitching, or bleeding. There’s minimal post-op discomfort and significantly less sensitivity following laser-assisted gum surgery than traditional techniques, like gum flap surgery.
Better Bone and Gum Regeneration
Laser-assisted gum surgery helps with more than removing dead and diseased tissue. It helps stimulate your body’s own healing response, which means the supporting structures in your mouth are able to regenerate to a degree. Bone tissue, dental ligaments, and even gum tissue are encouraged to strengthen with laser treatment.
Less Infection Risk
Laser technology eliminates bacteria behind periodontal disease and other harmful bacteria that can lead to secondary infections with traditional surgery. With laser-assisted gum surgery, there’s a significantly lower risk of infection post-procedure.
A Great Option for Those with Dental Anxiety
If you have anxiety around dental procedures, laser-assisted gum surgery is one that requires minimal to no anesthesia. Your mental health around dental procedures is just as important to us as your oral health, and we are proud to offer laser-assisted gum surgery as an effective and low-stress option to you.
How Does Laser-Assisted Gum Surgery Work?
With this procedure, a dental laser uses a thin, flexible fiber to target specific areas in and around the teeth and gums to eliminate harmful bacteria, sterilize the area, and encourage new tissue regeneration. The laser is a concentrated form of energy particles, which means no cutting, bleeding, or stitching happens.
