Diode Laser Treatment

Laser Assisted Periodontal Therapy (LAPT) is a minimally invasive treatment for moderate to severe gum disease that uses lasers to remove bacteria, cosmetic gingivectomies, aphthous ulcers, and frenum release. Dental lasers are designed to minimize swelling and bleeding and can cause less pain than traditional methods. Dental lasers can utilize variable wavelengths to perform a variety of procedures. The laser also sterilizes and seals periodontal pockets, which promotes faster healing.

Benefits

LAPT is more comfortable and less damaging than traditional periodontal treatments. It causes less bleeding, pain, and swelling, and it doesn't require cutting away gum or bone. After the procedure, your gums will need time to heal and regenerate. During this time, your gums should be infection-free and tighten back up around your tooth.
