What is gum disease laser therapy?
Dr. Baysa is proud to offer the latest technology available for periodontal therapy: laser treatment. There are numerous advantages to using laser therapy as opposed to the traditional methods requiring a scalpel and sutures.
Why are the benefits of laser dentistry?
With laser treatment, there is reduced or no bleeding, minimized swelling, no charring, and no drill noise or vibration. The stress and anxiety often associated with dental work are therefore eliminated when you experience quick, effective, and essentially pain-free laser procedures. Also, postoperative sensitivity is greatly limited by laser dentistry, and recovery time is much quicker than traditional methods. In fact, due to the less-invasive nature of the laser technique, the mouth begins to heal immediately after the work is completed!
​
Reduced Risk of Infection:
​
The laser's high-energy light beam acts as a sterilizer on the area it is working, thereby reducing the risk of bacterial infection and relapses.
​
Anesthesia Limited or Eliminated:
​
Because laser dentistry is virtually painless, no longer will you suffer from fear of injections and numbness. Often, only a light anesthetic spray is required. Laser treatment eliminates the complications and costs associated with anesthesia.

What are the uses of dental lasers?
Dr. Baysa can perform a variety of procedures using laser technology, such as a frenectomy, osseous surgery, and gum grafting. Dr. Baysa is also able to use laser technology as a way to regenerate healthy gums and remove diseases in areas in a virtually painless way. This method also encourages healthy gum to regenerate and attach to the teeth. There is a much lower chance of gum disease returning when laser therapy is used as opposed to the traditional surgery.
