Why Would You Want Laser Gum Therapy?
Laser gum therapy treats gum disease so that you can keep your smile. With less discomfort and a faster recovery time than traditional surgery, it is no wonder people love it!
How Does Laser Gum Surgery Offer So Many Benefits?
With traditional surgery, your healthy tissue must be cut in order to gain access to the bacteria and infected tissue and then your gums are sutured. However, with laser gum disease treatment, the laser’s pinpoint accuracy eliminates the need to cut into your healthy tissue. The WaterLase® iPlus can remove bacteria and infected tissue, leaving your mouth immediately healthier with less inflammation. Contact Hollyburn Centre Periodontics & Implants in West Vancouver, BC to schedule laser gum surgery with Dr. Long to restore gum health with less discomfort and downtime.
