What Is Perio Laser Surgery?
Perio laser surgery is a modern technique used to treat gum disease by removing inflamed gum tissue from around the tooth's root. It employs a specialized dental laser to vaporize diseased tissue and kill bacteria without harming healthy tissue.
Key Benefits of Laser Gum Treatment
Compared to traditional surgery, the laser offers a significantly more comfortable patient experience. The key benefits include minimal bleeding and swelling, as the laser cauterizes the tissue as it works. Patients also report less post-operative discomfort and enjoy a much faster recovery time, allowing them to return to their normal routines more quickly without the need for sutures.
The Laser Surgery Process
After applying a local anesthetic, our periodontist directs the thin laser fiber into the pocket between your tooth and gum. The laser energy precisely removes the infected lining and sterilizes the area. After the diseased tissue is cleared, the root surfaces are thoroughly cleaned before the gums are allowed to heal naturally.
Is Laser Gum Surgery Right for You?
Ideal candidates for perio laser surgery are typically those with moderate to severe gum disease who are seeking a less invasive treatment option. If you experience bleeding, swollen gums, or persistent bad breath, this advanced procedure could be the solution. A comprehensive consultation at Oahu Dental Care will determine if this is the most effective treatment for your specific needs.
