Fortunately, our team can take care of this kind of problem way before it gets to this point.

Scaling & Root Planing

When detected early, gum disease can usually be eliminated using scaling and root planing, also known as a “deep cleaning.” First, all plaque and bacteria are removed from below the gum line, and then the roots of the teeth are reshaped and smoothed. This makes it more difficult for plaque to gather on the teeth, lowering the chance of future infections. It also kickstarts the healing process, allowing the gums to firmly reattach to the teeth.

Laser Decontamination

When treating a patient for advanced gum disease, we can utilize our Biolase soft tissue laser to eliminate bacteria deep below the gum line without having to make incisions, which is the traditional method. This approach is less invasive, more comfortable, and allows us to treat a gum infection with unmatched precision. The laser even cauterizes and sanitizes an area as it works, reducing bleeding, swelling, and post-treatment discomfort to practically zero.
