Advanced Laser Gum Disease Treatment with an Experienced Chatham Dentist

Gum disease affects nearly half of all adults, and if left untreated, it can lead to tooth loss, bone deterioration, and serious health complications. Thankfully, advances in laser dentistry now allow for minimally invasive, highly effective gum disease treatment. At Kenwood Dental Group, we use cutting-edge laser technology to treat periodontal disease with precision and comfort.

What Is Laser Dentistry?

Laser dentistry uses focused light energy to treat soft and hard tissues in the mouth. In the case of gum disease, dental lasers gently remove infected tissue and bacteria while promoting healing and tissue regeneration. Unlike traditional scalpel-based methods, laser treatment minimizes bleeding, discomfort, and recovery time.

Our laser dentistry services are ideal for patients seeking a modern, less invasive approach to periodontal care.

How Does Laser Gum Treatment Work?

Laser gum disease treatment targets inflamed and infected areas around the teeth. The laser removes bacteria and damaged tissue while preserving healthy gums. The treatment is typically done in several sessions and can often be completed without stitches or general anesthesia.

Because lasers cauterize as they treat, most patients experience minimal bleeding and swelling. Recovery is generally quicker and more comfortable than with conventional gum surgery.

Benefits of Laser Dentistry for Gum Disease

Laser therapy offers several key advantages:

• Minimally invasive with little to no cutting or stitching
• Less discomfort during and after the procedure
• Faster healing and reduced downtime
• More precise targeting of infected areas
• Safe and effective for many stages of gum disease

This makes it an excellent option for patients who are nervous about traditional surgical procedures.
