Laser Gum Surgery

If you know or suspect you have gum disease, do not assume the problem will rectify itself with brushing and flossing.  Laser gum surgery available at our Carol Stream, IL dentist’s office uses lasers as opposed to scalpels, meaning there is no need to cut through the gums as is the case with conventional gum surgery.  Laser gum surgery is revered by dentists and patients alike as it is not invasive, causes minimal, if any pain and allows for rapid healing.

Laser gum surgery relies on a laser to eliminate harmful bacteria and compromised gum tissue from gum pockets to remedy gum disease.  However, laser gum surgery is only considered after scaling and root planing along with other less invasive treatment modalities are considered.

Laser treatment to address gum disease has reached a mainstream tipping point as it is nowhere near as invasive as conventional gum surgery thar requires anesthesia, a cutting of the gums and swelling.  Opt for laser gum surgery and you’ll find the process is less painful than conventional gum surgery, highly effective and surprisingly fast.
