Laser Gum Therapy in Royal Oak, MI
Gum disease affects nearly half of adults over age 30 — and left untreated, it can lead to tooth loss, bone deterioration, and even impact your overall health. At Lumon Dental, we offer advanced laser gum therapy in Royal Oak to treat periodontal disease with greater comfort, precision, and faster healing.
This minimally invasive treatment uses targeted laser energy to disinfect and reshape diseased gum tissue while promoting natural healing. It's a powerful option for patients with early or moderate gum disease who want an alternative to traditional gum surgery.
What Is Laser Gum Therapy?
Laser gum therapy is a modern periodontal treatment that uses a specialized dental laser to:
- Remove infected tissue
- Kill bacteria deep in the gum pockets
- Stimulate tissue regeneration
- Minimize bleeding and discomfort
- Preserve more healthy gum tissue
At Lumon Dental, we use laser therapy alone or in combination with scaling and root planing to treat gum disease without the need for scalpels or sutures.
Benefits of Laser Gum Therapy
Compared to traditional periodontal surgery, laser treatment offers a more comfortable and patient-friendly experience:
- Minimally invasive – No cutting or stitching
- Faster healing – Less tissue trauma means quicker recovery
- Reduced discomfort – Often requires little or no anesthesia
- Lower risk of infection – Laser sterilizes as it works
- More precise treatment – Targets only diseased tissue
- Preserves healthy gums – Encourages regeneration of natural tissues
It’s ideal for patients with gum sensitivity, dental anxiety, or those looking for a more modern approach to managing periodontal disease.
Signs You May Need Laser Gum Therapy
You may be a candidate for laser periodontal treatment if you have:
- Bleeding gums when brushing or flossing
- Persistent bad breath
- Receding gums or gum pockets
- Gum swelling or tenderness
- Loose or shifting teeth
- A history of periodontal disease
Even if you've previously had gum therapy, laser treatment can be used to maintain or enhance results.
What to Expect During Treatment
Laser gum therapy is typically completed in one or two appointments, depending on the severity of your condition.
- Assessment – We’ll measure your gum pockets and evaluate the level of disease using digital imaging and a comprehensive periodontal exam.
- Treatment – The laser is gently guided between the tooth and gum to remove infected tissue and bacteria. We then clean the root surfaces and allow the laser to seal the area, promoting natural healing.
- Post-Treatment Care – You'll receive personalized instructions, including home care techniques and a follow-up plan for ongoing periodontal maintenance.
Most patients experience minimal discomfort and can return to normal activities the same day.
