What Is Laser Gum Treatment?
Keeping your gums healthy is extremely important since problems, like oral cancer and gum disease, can affect both your dental and overall health without proper treatment. At Benjamin Lievense, DDS PLLC in Saginaw, MI, we use laser technology to treat many gum (periodontal) problems. Our state-of-the-art laser helps us more efficiently treat periodontitis (the advanced stage of gum disease). Laser technology can also be used to perform oral biopsies that detect pre-cancer and cancer in your mouth and are utilized in specific cosmetic dentistry procedures to help reshape the gums or decrease the appearance of a smile that looks "gummy." Make an appointment at our Saginaw, MI practice to learn more about the benefits and uses of laser gum treatments.
How Does Laser Gum Treatment Work?
Performed in our office, a laser gum treatment typically only requires a local anesthetic. Nevertheless, additional sedation choices might be available if you have dental fears or anxiety. Prior to your treatment, we will inform you of what you can expect during the process, whether you are being treated for gum disease, obtaining an oral biopsy, having crown lengthening, or undergoing cosmetic gum sculpting. The laser minimizes bleeding and frequently eliminates the need for sutures.
