La Jolla & Chula Vista
Gum laser treatment is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat gum disease, remove infected tissue, and promote healthier gums with improved comfort and healing. Dental lasers can precisely target bacteria and damaged tissue while helping reduce bleeding, swelling, and recovery time compared to traditional methods. Laser gum therapy may also be used for gum contouring and other soft tissue treatments to support both oral health and smile aesthetics.

Questions
No. It depends on your gum pocket measurements, tissue condition, X-rays, and overall periodontal diagnosis.
Sometimes it may support periodontal treatment, but it does not automatically replace deep cleaning when tartar and bacteria below the gumline need to be removed.
Many patients find laser gum care comfortable, but sensitivity varies by case. Your dentist will discuss comfort options before treatment.
Your team may recommend home care instructions, follow-up visits, and periodontal maintenance depending on your gum health and response.
