Periodontal Laser Therapy

Dr. Goettisheim is proud to offer the latest technology in periodontal therapy: laser treatment. There are numerous advantages to using laser therapy as opposed to the traditional methods requiring a scalpel and sutures.

Benefits:

Comfort

With laser treatment, there is reduced or no bleeding, minimized swelling, and no drill noise or vibration. The stress and anxiety often associated with dental work are therefore eliminated when you experience quick, effective, and essentially pain-free laser procedures.

Also, postoperative sensitivity is greatly limited by laser dentistry, and recovery time is much quicker than with traditional methods. In fact, due to the less-invasive nature of the laser technique, the mouth begins to heal immediately after work is completed!

Reduced Risk of Infection

The laser’s high-energy light beam acts as a sterilizer on the area being treated, thereby reducing the risk of bacterial infections and relapses.

Uses:

Dr. Goettisheim can perform a variety of procedures using laser technology, such as a frenectomy, osseous surgery, and laser periodontal surgery.

Dr. Goettisheim is also able to use laser technology as a way to regenerate healthy gums and remove diseased areas in a virtually painless way. This method also encourages healthy gum to regenerate and attach to the teeth. There is a much lower chance of gum disease returning when laser therapy is used as opposed to traditional surgery.
