Non-invasive laser surgery (LANAP™)

Progression of Periodontal Disease

Healthy

Gums are pink, firm, and do not bleed. No bone loss. Maintain with regular professional care.

Gingivitis

Gums become red and swollen, may bleed easily. Early, reversible stage with proper treatment.

Periodontitis

Pockets form, bacteria attack the bone. Irreversible damage starts; requires professional intervention.

Advanced Periodontitis

Severe bone loss, teeth become loose or lost. Advanced care needed to save remaining teeth.

Infected gums and pockets can lead to bone loss and tooth mobility if untreated. Using FDA-cleared LANAP laser technology, we target bacteria and diseased tissue with pinpoint precision—no cutting, minimal bleeding, and little to no pain. This high-tech approach stimulates your body's own healing for healthier gums and stable teeth, with rapid recovery.

The field of dentistry is constantly advancing and innovating. One major advancement in the field of dentistry is laser gum surgery. This form of surgery can be used to help with different procedures, including gum contouring, gum pigmentation removal, deep cleaning, and more. Below is more information about laser gum surgery, why laser gum surgery is beneficial, and what a procedure involving laser gum surgery is like. What Is Laser Gum Surgery? Laser gum surgery is an oral health treatment method that involves the use of light energy to kill bacteria, treat gum disease and tooth decay, and reshape gums (generally for procedures that address “gummy smiles”). The laser used in laser gum surgery only removes diseased tissue and avoids healthy tissue. It is also very effective at killing germs.

Why Laser Gum Surgery There are some benefits to laser gum treatment that make it a great tool that Dr. Baroudi may take advantage of during your dental care procedure. These benefits include: Precision . Lasers are an extremely precise tool. Because of this, you don’t have to worry about healthy gum tissue being damaged during your oral healthcare procedure. Lower risks . Traditional surgical procedures involve cutting, which often requires stitches and time to heal. These procedures have a risk of infection and bleeding. Laser gum surgery doesn’t involve any “cutting,” is generally less invasive, and has a lower risk of complications. Quick recovery time . When you have laser gum surgery performed, you’ll heal up pretty quickly afterward. Often, recovery time is around 24 hours. There are no stitches involved, which also makes recovery easier.

Laser gum surgery for a deep cleaning will generally follow certain steps. First, your dentist will place the tip of the laser tool at the top of the periodontal pocket. From there, they will use the light to remove inflamed gum tissue, along with diseased tissue. Your dentist will remove tartar, debris, and plaque from below the gumline. Once this is completed, your dentist will go back in and sterilize the area. The lasers used in laser gum surgery help with the formation of blood clots. This helps with the healing process. Dental lasers are also a great choice for a procedure to reshape gums and eliminate a “gummy smile.”
