For patients who are suffering from more advanced gum disease, laser gum disease treatment in Parramatta may be a suitable solution.
The dental laser removes infected and diseased gum tissue from around your tooth without harming healthy tissues and without the need for a scalpel and cutting. The laser also seals and sterilises the treated areas to help accelerate the healing process.
How Does the Dental Laser Work?
Dentists have been relying on lasers to help with treatment procedures for decades. The laser combines heat and light with precision to aid in dental treatments such as periodontal (gum) treatment, dental fillings and occasionally teeth whitening.
The laser eliminates the need for cutting and stitches after some procedures. It also helps improve treatment efficiency.
When Do We Recommend Laser Gum Disease Treatment?
If you're suffering from advanced gum disease, also called periodontitis, our dentists may recommend laser treatment as part of a non-surgical treatment protocol. Combined with a deep cleaning procedure, known as scaling and root planing, laser dentistry can be effective in helping patients manage their gum disease without the need for grafting surgery.
