Before the rise of laser dentistry, the treatments available for advanced gum disease were painful. Oftentimes, the gums had to be cut away and nearby teeth were often pulled. Luckily, dentists who follow the latest innovations are helping put those days behind us. Laser gum therapy offers an effective solution to advanced gum disease that helps patients heal faster while staying away from scalpels.

Why Choose Laser Gum Therapy?
Laser gum therapy involves using the precision of lasers to only target diseased tissue. This means that more of the patient’s gums are left untouched than with traditional methods. As a result, laser gum therapy boasts faster healing, less pain, and lower risks. Most patients report only being left with mild swelling that subsides within two days. If that isn’t enough incentive, laser gum therapy is often more affordable as well.

Dentists who aren’t at the forefront of their profession may not be able to perform laser gum therapy. Even among those with the necessary training, successful laser gum therapy requires precision and attention to detail on the part of the providing dentist. At Gerts Sterling Dentistry, we pride ourselves on providing the absolute best dental care. Our team specializes in laser gum therapy and can deliver the best treatment for gum disease.
