Laser gum treatment uses dental lasers instead of scalpels or traditional surgical tools to treat gum issues, especially periodontitis (advanced gum disease). The laser energy selectively removes infected tissue and bacteria while preserving healthy gum and bone.

Conditions Treated

Gum disease (gingivitis & periodontitis) – removal of bacteria and infected gum tissue.
Gummy smile correction – reshaping excess gum tissue.
Gum pigmentation removal – lightening darkened gums.
Frenectomy – releasing tight oral tissue (tongue/lip ties).
Crown lengthening – exposing more tooth surface for restorations or cosmetics.

Procedure Steps (LANAP for Periodontitis)

Anesthesia – local anesthesia is given for comfort.
Laser application – the dentist inserts a thin laser fiber into the gum pocket.
Bacteria & infected tissue removal – laser energy precisely removes diseased tissue and sterilizes the pocket.
Calculus removal – ultrasonic or hand instruments clean tartar from root surfaces.
Laser reapplication – laser energy seals the gum pocket and stimulates reattachment to the tooth.
Healing – no stitches are needed; gums heal naturally.

Benefits of Laser Gum Treatment

Minimally invasive (less cutting, no stitches).
Reduced pain, swelling, and bleeding.
Faster healing & recovery compared to traditional surgery.
More precision – preserves healthy gum and bone tissue.
Promotes regeneration – stimulates bone and tissue healing.
Lower infection risk since the laser sterilizes the area.

Recovery & Aftercare

Mild soreness or sensitivity for a few days.
Soft foods for 1–2 weeks.
Good oral hygiene (gentle brushing, prescribed rinses).
Follow-up visits to monitor healing.
