Periodontal or gum disease can lead to bone loss if it is not treated accordingly. Common symptoms, including tartar build-up on the root surfaces of your teeth and deep periodontal pockets. In the past, gum disease has been treated with various surgical procedures.

While traditional treatments, which include cutting and suturing the gums, have been effective for some, they have many drawbacks including extreme difficulty of fully eliminating bacteria, uncomfortable recovery periods, and the possibility of gum disease recurring.

At Advanced Cosmetic Dentistry & TMJ, we use the most advanced form of periodontal therapy – laser therapy. Using FDA-approved laser therapy to treat your gums has many advantages over the traditional surgical methods. Laser therapy is able to:

  • Fully eliminate the disease-causing bacteria and stop the infection
  • Reduce periodontal pockets without incisions, stitches, post-op bleeding, swelling, or pain
  • Safely treat patients with diabetes, bleeding disorders, or who take blood thinning medications
  • Maintain the healthy results over time, with less recurrence
  • Give you back your healthy smile without time off work or other important activities
