Laser gum treatment is now one of the best and most comfortable ways for people with gum disease to have modern periodontal care. This new technique is a big improvement over old surgical approaches. It gives patients in North York and surrounding areas a way to address different gum issues with as little damage as possible.
Laser gum therapy uses focused light energy to target the sick or unhealthy gum tissue while leaving healthy areas alone. Patients are much more comfortable with this targeted approach than with regular gum surgery. We have found that patients like laser treatments because they cause less bleeding, swelling and overall pain. Laser is very precise so we can remove bad bacteria and sick tissue from deep periodontal pockets without hurting the healthy gum structure.
You can’t ignore the link between periodontal health and other areas of dentistry. Patients often need Endodontics treatment in addition to periodontal therapy when gum disease gets worse and affects the tooth’s pulp or nerve. This all-in-one approach makes sure all aspects of dental health are taken care of at the same time which stops problems and helps with long term success. When a patient needs more than one treatment we work with experts in other fields to make sure they get the best care possible.
Working with Toronto North Periodontics has made it easier for us to offer patients in the area the latest laser treatments. This relationship allows us to stay up to date with the latest laser technology and treatment methods. Sharing information and expertise means our patients get the best care possible.
Before starting laser treatment the dentist will do a full exam to determine how bad the gum disease is and if laser is the best way to treat it. The laser is then precisely aimed at the problem areas and the treatment begins. It removes sick tissue and kills bad bacteria. The energy from the laser also promotes healing and growth of new healthy gum tissue. Many people are amazed at how comfortable the treatment is and how fast they can get back to their normal lives.
One of the best things about laser gum therapy is that it heals faster than regular surgery. The laser closes blood vessels while it works so there is less bleeding during and after the procedure. This also means no stitches are required which makes the recovery period even easier. Most people don’t feel any pain after treatment and can go back to their normal dental hygiene routine in a few days.Laser treatment is good for more than just removing unhealthy tissue. The laser radiation kills bacteria in the area that was treated which reduces the chance of getting sick again. This antibacterial effect is huge for people with severe gum disease. Patients who have had laser gum therapy have had great long term benefits. Many of them have seen a big improvement in their gum health and overall oral health.
For patients in North York looking for alternatives to traditional gum surgery laser treatment has many advantages. Most of the time the treatment only requires local anesthetic which makes it a good option for people who don’t want to be put to sleep or given general anesthesia. Because laser technology is so precise treatment can be focused on specific areas without harming healthy tissue in other parts of the mouth.
Most people only feel minimal pain after laser gum treatment which can be managed with over the counter painkillers. Recovery is usually easy. We will give you specific instructions after your treatment to ensure you heal properly and have long term success. We can monitor the healing process and make any necessary changes to the treatment plan during follow up appointments.
Patients with long term gum problems find that the money they spend on laser gum therapy is well worth it. Many people like this technology because it works, is comfortable and speeds up recovery. We are still getting great results with laser treatments and we are still committed to giving our patients the best periodontal care possible.
