Laser Gum Surgery

Are Swollen, Bleeding Gums Compromising Your Smile?

Ignoring gum disease (periodontitis) can lead to serious consequences, including bone loss, tooth mobility, and eventually, tooth loss. Traditionally, treating advanced gum disease involved "gingivectomy"—a procedure requiring scalpels to cut away diseased tissue, followed by stitches and a lengthy recovery. At Sola Dental Spa, we offer a modern, gentle alternative.

Laser Gum Surgery is a state-of-the-art procedure that uses focused light energy to treat gum disease. Unlike traditional surgery, the laser selectively vaporizes bacteria and diseased tissue without harming the healthy surroundings. It creates a sterile environment that promotes natural regeneration rather than simply removing tissue.

The Benefits of Laser Therapy

• Virtually Painless: Most procedures require little to no anesthetic, eliminating the need for needles in many cases.
• No Scalpels or Stitches: The laser is non-invasive and cauterizes the tissue as it works, meaning sutures are rarely needed.
• High Precision: The laser targets only the infected area, preserving your healthy gum tissue for a more conservative treatment.
• Reduced Bleeding: Because the laser seals blood vessels instantly, there is significantly less bleeding compared to traditional surgery.
• Faster Healing: With less trauma to the tissue, patients experience a much quicker recovery period and less post-operative swelling.
• Reduced Anxiety: The quiet, gentle nature of the laser removes the noise and vibration of drills, helping patients feel more relaxed.

What to Expect During Your Visit

We use specific laser wavelengths designed to ensure safety and optimal healing. Here is how our process works:

First, we perform a thorough exam to map the depth of your gum pockets. During the procedure, the laser fiber is gently placed between the gum and tooth to eliminate infection. Finally, the laser seals the pocket, allowing your body to heal naturally without the trauma of cutting. This technology is also effective for other treatments, including lesion removal and biopsies.
