Dr. Jorge Paez and our expert team at Nevada Dental Esthetics understand that gum disease can be frustrating and uncomfortable, but we provide a high-tech way to reclaim your healthy gums. If you’re dealing with gum disease, laser gum disease treatment could be the strategy that relieves your symptoms and prevents serious complications like tooth loss. Read on to learn how laser dentistry works.
Understanding Laser Dentistry
Laser dentistry includes a series of procedures that use focused light energy to treat oral health problems. It can treat:
- Gum Disease
- Plaque and Tartar
- Soft Tissue Lesions
- Cold Sores
- A “Gummy” Smile
At Nevada Dental Esthetics, we’re constantly growing, innovating, and advancing our skills. Laser dentistry is one of the most groundbreaking additions to our practice in recent years. With laser dentistry, we can perform more precise treatments that are more comfortable for our patients (many patients don’t even need anesthesia).
How Laser Dentistry Works for Gum Disease
Gum disease treatment is one of the most common applications for laser dentistry. We’re proud to use this approach at Nevada Dental Esthetics because it allows our patients to take control of their gum disease and prevent its progression to serious complications like tooth loss, jawbone loss, and systemic diseases like diabetes.
During the procedure, Dr. Paez uses the laser to precisely target bacteria above and below the gumline. The laser can easily reach even the narrowest nooks and crannies within your mouth to destroy bacteria on contact.
In addition, Dr. Paez uses the laser to remove diseased gum tissue without cutting. Thanks to the highly precise laser, Dr. Paez can remove the tiniest amounts of tissue, ensuring you don’t lose any healthy gum tissue.
Because the laser instantly coagulates blood vessels during the procedure, there’s minimal bleeding and no stitches required.
Laser dentistry allows you to treat gum disease effectively and return to your daily routine faster. There’s virtually no downtime needed.
