Laser Periodontal Therapy is a laser-based approach to gum disease using an Nd:YAG free running pulsed laser requiring specific knowledge and skills drawn from various aspects of dentistry.

To you, the patient, this means: Less pain, less bleeding, less swelling, less tissue removed, less down time, and less recovery time which is decidedly less costly to you!

Reasons why we use Laser Periodontal Therapy: are to remove only the diseased tissue without removing any of the healthy tissue, maintain the height of the tissue around teeth, minimize pain and discomfort to the patient, get a closure of the periodontal pocket wound and allow healing to take place. Controlling periodontal disease makes it possible to save and restore otherwise hopeless teeth.
