How Laser Teeth Cleaning Works
What happens at a laser teeth cleaning
- Check-in and gum check. We review your health history and look at your teeth and gums.
- Cleaning. Your hygienist removes plaque and tartar from the tooth surfaces and along the gumline, then polishes.
- Laser step. Where it helps, a dental laser is used along the gumline to help reduce bacteria and inflammation.
- Your results. We explain what we saw and share simple home care tips for your gums.
Who laser cleaning can help
Laser cleaning can help if your gums bleed when you brush or floss, feel tender, or look red or puffy. Not everyone needs it. Your hygienist and dentist will tell you whether the laser step makes sense for you before your cleaning.
Laser cleaning or laser gum treatment?
A laser cleaning supports healthy or mildly irritated gums during a routine visit. If your exam shows signs of gum disease, your dentist may recommend laser gum treatment instead, which is a separate plan.
