Minimally invasive laser periodontal therapy at PRALASH Dermystique & Dentique, HRBR Layout — treating bleeding, infected and receding gums with less bleeding, faster healing and no scalpel.
Laser gum treatment uses a focused dental laser to remove infected, diseased tissue from within gum pockets and disinfect the area — treating the underlying cause of gum disease without cutting the gum with a scalpel or placing sutures.
The laser selectively targets diseased tissue and bacteria while leaving healthy gum largely undisturbed, which is what allows for the faster healing, reduced bleeding and greater comfort patients experience compared with conventional gum surgery.
Gum pocket depths are measured around each tooth to identify exactly where diseased tissue is present.
Topical or minimal local anaesthesia is used — many patients need little to none.
The laser precisely removes infected pocket lining and kills bacteria within the pocket.
Remaining tartar and bacterial deposits on the root surface are cleaned, usually alongside scaling.
A stable blood clot forms at the treated site, sealing it without the need for sutures.
Gums are reassessed at follow-up to confirm pocket reduction and healthy reattachment.
Targets diseased soft tissue within pockets — the most commonly used approach for gingivitis and mild-moderate periodontitis.
Laser disinfection combined with mechanical deep cleaning for a more thorough result in moderate disease.
Focused bacterial reduction within deep pockets — often used as an adjunct alongside other periodontal therapy.
Encourages new attachment between gum and root surface as an alternative to conventional flap surgery in select cases.
Diseased tissue is removed without a scalpel, avoiding the need for stitches in most cases.
The laser cauterises as it works, keeping bleeding to a minimum during and after treatment.
Patients typically return to normal activities sooner than after conventional gum surgery.
Selectively removing diseased tissue supports the gum reattaching to the tooth root.
Often requires fewer post-treatment visits than surgical gum treatment.
Laser gum treatment is a good option if you have:
Cost depends on the number of quadrants treated and disease severity.
Targeted treatment for a specific area of concern.
Comprehensive laser therapy across all four quadrants.
Laser disinfection paired with deep cleaning for moderate disease.
