What Is Laser Gum Treatment?
Keeping your gums healthy is very important because oral cancer and gum disease can impact both your dental and general health if not treated properly. At Oasis Smiles Dentistry and Vista Oasis Smiles, we use advanced dental technology to care for your gums with precision and comfort. Laser gum therapy is a modern approach that helps treat periodontal disease while reducing discomfort and healing time. Laser treatment for gum disease targets infected gum tissue with concentrated light energy. This method removes bacteria and diseased tissue while preserving healthy gums. Deep cleanings tend to focus on removing plaque and tartar below the gumline while laser gum treatment goes further by eliminating bacteria within the gum pockets and promoting faster healing. Both treatments are important for gum health, but deep cleanings are used to help manage early gum disease and laser gum therapy is often necessary for advanced infections that need precise tissue removal. Laser gum treatments can also be performed in some cosmetic dentistry procedures to help reshape the gums or decrease the appearance of a "gummy" smile. Contact our San Diego or Vista, CA office to schedule a consultation for a personalized evaluation.
How Does Laser Gum Treatment Work?
Your laser gum treatment can be performed in our office, typically requiring only local anesthesia. However, additional sedation options may be available if you experience dental anxiety. Before the procedure, our dental practitioners will explain what to expect, whether you are receiving treatment for periodontal disease, undergoing a dental biopsy, having your teeth lengthened, or choosing aesthetic gum contouring. Once you are comfortable, a soft tissue laser carefully removes inflamed gum tissue around the teeth. After the damaged tissue is removed, the area is thoroughly cleaned to eliminate bacteria. The laser also stimulates the gums to encourage healing and tissue regeneration. This treatment minimizes bleeding, reduces swelling, and frequently eliminates the need for stitches. Compared to traditional gum surgery, laser gum treatment offers a gentler and faster recovery process.
What Are the Benefits of Laser Gum Treatment?
Laser gum treatment offers many advantages over traditional methods. Our approach helps improve oral health while making the process more comfortable. Benefits include:
- Less pain and discomfort: The laser is gentle, reducing the need for anesthesia.
- Faster healing: The treatment stimulates tissue repair for quicker recovery.
- Minimally invasive: No scalpels or stitches are needed.
- Reduced bleeding and swelling: The laser seals blood vessels as it works.
- More precise treatment: Our approach targets infected tissue without harming healthy areas.
- Lower risk of infection: The laser sterilizes the area during treatment.
- Addresses multiple concerns: The method treats gum disease, tooth sensitivity, and a gummy smile.
