At Elevate Dental Implant Center in Hanover, MD, Dr. Shalini Sethi is proud to offer advanced Perio Laser Therapy—a modern, minimally invasive approach to treating gum disease and restoring oral health.
If you’ve been diagnosed with periodontal (gum) disease or are experiencing symptoms like bleeding gums, bad breath, or gum recession, laser therapy may provide a more comfortable and effective alternative to traditional gum surgery.
What Is Perio Laser Therapy?
Perio laser therapy uses a specialized dental laser to precisely target and remove infected gum tissue and harmful bacteria from around the teeth. This gentle, high-tech treatment helps disinfect the area while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible.
Unlike traditional methods that often require cutting and sutures, laser therapy is designed to promote natural healing with less discomfort and downtime.
How It Works
During treatment, the laser is used to:
- Eliminate bacteria deep within periodontal pockets
- Remove diseased or inflamed gum tissue
- Stimulate the reattachment of healthy gum tissue to the teeth
- Encourage the body’s natural healing response
- Support bone regeneration in areas affected by gum disease
This targeted approach allows Dr. Sethi to treat infection at its source while helping to stabilize and restore the supporting structures of your teeth.
Benefits of Laser Gum Treatment
Patients choose Perio Laser Therapy because it offers several important advantages:
- Minimally invasive: No scalpels or sutures in most cases
- Reduced discomfort: Gentler than traditional gum surgery
- Faster healing time: Get back to your routine sooner
- Preserves healthy tissue: Precise treatment protects surrounding areas
- Improved outcomes: Supports tissue reattachment and bone health
- Lower risk of infection: Laser sterilizes as it treats
A Modern Alternative to Gum Surgery
For many patients, Perio Laser Therapy provides an effective alternative to traditional periodontal surgery. While advanced cases may still require surgical intervention, laser treatment can often reduce the need for more invasive procedures.
Dr. Sethi will evaluate your condition and recommend the most appropriate treatment to help you achieve long-term gum health.
