This deep cleaning procedure is essential for treating early-stage gum disease. It removes plaque and tartar buildup below the gumline, preventing the progression of gum disease. Using laser technology, we provide a more thorough cleaning while minimizing discomfort. This approach is particularly beneficial for patients with sensitive gums, as the laser’s precision reduces the risk of damaging healthy tissue and speeds up healing.
As gum disease advances, deep pockets can form between your teeth and gums, harboring harmful bacteria. Our laser gum pocket reduction treatment targets these pockets, removing infected tissue and reducing their depth. This minimally invasive procedure is less traumatic than traditional methods, with reduced pain, bleeding, and recovery time.
Gum recession exposes tooth roots, leading to sensitivity, increased decay risk, and aesthetic concerns. Our laser treatment for gum recession is a less invasive alternative to traditional grafting methods. Using DEKA CO2 and Solea lasers, we remove diseased tissue and encourage the regeneration of healthy gum tissue, protecting exposed roots and improving smile aesthetics with minimal discomfort and quick recovery.
We use cutting-edge laser technology, including DEKA CO2 and Solea lasers, to enhance the precision, comfort, and effectiveness of periodontal treatments. These lasers allow us to address gum disease and other periodontal issues with minimal discomfort and quicker recovery times.
The DEKA CO2 laser is versatile for treating various periodontal conditions. It’s particularly effective for delicate surgical procedures, such as removing diseased gum tissue or addressing soft palate disorders that contribute to snoring. By using this laser, we reduce the need for traditional surgical methods, lowering the risk of complications and promoting faster healing. The laser’s precision targets only the affected tissue, preserving the surrounding healthy areas.
The Solea laser offers a virtually pain-free experience, ideal for patients who are anxious about dental procedures. Unlike traditional dental tools, the Solea laser often eliminates the need for anesthesia, allowing for quicker, more comfortable treatments. This laser is particularly useful for soft tissue management, including gum contouring, treating periodontal pockets, and addressing other gum-related issues. The precision of the Solea laser results in less bleeding, reduced swelling, and faster recovery, making it a preferred option for many patients.
