Treatment entails just six steps to remove damaged tissue, with many patients experiencing substantially less pain than is normally associated with conventional options of treating gingivitis.
Benefits of Laser Gum Surgery
Laser gum surgery has been known to offer numerous benefits to patients, including the following:
- Reduced Healing Period – Thanks to the minimally invasive nature, laser gum surgery offers a reduced healing period. Utility of laser technology provides the benefit of wound cauterization, which helps reduce bleeding and increase recovery speed.
- Minimized Gum Line Recession – Laser treatments result in decreased tissue loss, allowing a larger portion of the gum line to be preserved. This is essential for maintaining both a pleasing smile, as well as comfort.
- Decreased Pain – Laser gum surgery removes the necessity for cutting and stitching, which greatly reduces the amount of pain experienced. This results in the prescription of little to no pain medication, following the surgery.
