Recently a new tool has become available in dentistry which makes our efforts to control gum disease easier, faster, and better than ever before. With the advent of computer-controlled laser instrumentation, laser periodontal therapy is providing to be an attractive non-surgical alternative to conventional periodontal surgery for many patients with recurring problems.
Compared to conventional surgery:
- The procedure itself is painless
- Takes less time
- No cutting or stitching
- Grows new bone
- No loss of gum tissue or “long tooth” look
- No exposed root surfaces
- The initial results of improved gum health are visible and felt in a few days
- The cost is significantly less than conventional surgery
