Gum Disease Laser Therapy
Dr. Neary, Dr. Lanzetta, Dr. Chondrogiannis and Dr. Elhein are proud to offer the latest technology available for periodontal therapy: laser treatment. There are numerous advantages to using laser therapy for treatment of gum disease as opposed to the traditional methods requiring a scalpel and sutures.
Gum Disease Laser Therapy Benefits:
Comfort:
With laser treatment, there is reduced or no bleeding, minimized swelling, no charring, and no drill noise or vibration. The stress and anxiety often associated with dental work is therefore eliminated when you experience quick, effective, and essentially pain-free laser procedures. Also, postoperative sensitivity is greatly limited by laser dentistry, and recovery time is much quicker than with traditional methods. In fact, due to the less-invasive nature of the laser technique, the mouth begins to heal immediately after work is completed!
Reduced Risk of Infection:
The laser’s high-energy light beam acts as a sterilizer on the area it is working, thereby reducing the risk of bacterial infections and relapses.
Anesthesia Limited or Eliminated:
Because laser dentistry is virtually painless, no longer will you suffer with fear of injections and numbness. Often, only a light anesthetic spray is required. Laser treatment eliminates the complications and cost associated with anesthesia.

Uses for Gum Disease Laser Therapy:
Drs. Neary, Lanzetta, Chondrogiannis and Elhein can perform a variety of procedures using laser technology, such as a frenectomy, osseous surgery, and gum grafting. Drs. Neary, Lanzetta, Chondrogiannis and Elhein are also able to use laser technology as a way to regenerate healthy gums and remove diseases areas in a virtually painless way. This method also encourages healthy gum to regenerate and attach to the teeth. There is a much lower chance of gum disease returning when laser therapy is used as opposed to traditional surgery.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is laser therapy for gum disease?
Laser gum therapy is an advanced periodontal treatment that uses focused laser energy to remove infected tissue and harmful bacteria beneath the gumline. This minimally invasive approach helps treat gum disease while promoting healthier gums and supporting the natural healing process.
How is laser treatment different from traditional gum surgery?
Unlike traditional periodontal surgery, laser therapy typically does not require scalpels or sutures. The procedure is designed to be more precise and comfortable, often resulting in less bleeding, reduced swelling, and a faster recovery while thoroughly disinfecting the treated areas.
Can laser therapy help stop gum disease from progressing?
Yes. Laser periodontal therapy helps reduce harmful bacteria and inflammation while encouraging the gums to heal and reattach to the teeth. When combined with proper home care and regular periodontal maintenance visits, laser treatment can help manage gum disease and protect against further bone loss.
Is laser gum therapy safe for everyone?
Laser gum therapy is considered safe and effective for many patients with periodontal disease. During your consultation, our periodontist will evaluate your oral health and determine whether laser treatment is the best option for your specific needs.
How soon can I see results from laser gum therapy?
Many patients notice improvements such as reduced bleeding, swelling, and gum sensitivity within just a few days after treatment. Healing and long-term improvement continue over time as inflammation decreases and the gum tissue responds to treatment.
