Laser Gum Treatments
Laser Therapy for Gum Disease
Laser therapy is one way to treat gum disease. The laser removes diseased tissue and bacteria from the gum pockets, and the dentist explains each step before treatment begins.

Frequently Asked Questions
You may feel pressure and mild sensitivity, but we can numb the area if needed and we will check in with you as we go. Afterward, it’s common to have some tenderness for a day or two, similar to how gums feel after a deep cleaning. If you’re anxious, tell us upfront and we will explain each step before we begin.
It depends on how advanced the gum disease is and how your gums respond. Some patients only need one treatment session, while others need care staged over multiple visits. After we evaluate your gum health and measure pocket depths, we’ll give you a clear plan with a recommended number of visits and what “success” looks like.
