Laser Periodontal TherapyTM is a laser-based approach to gum disease using an Nd: YAG free running pulsed laser requiring
specific knowledge and skills drawn from the whole dentistry. To you the patients this means: less pain, less bleeding:, less swelling:, less tissue removed, less down time, and less recovery time which is decidedly less costly to you and your employer. The reasons we use Laser Periodontal TherapyTM are to: remove only the diseased tissue without removing any of the healthy tissue, maintain the height of the tissue around teeth, minimize pain and discomfort to the patient, get a closure of the periodontal pocket wound and allow healing to take place. Controlling periodontal disease makes it possible to save and restore otherwise hopeless involved teeth.
