Considering laser gum therapy? We understand you have questions. At London Dental Specialists, our advanced laser treatments offer effective solutions for gum disease with minimal discomfort and faster healing times compared to traditional methods. Laser therapy precisely targets infected tissue while preserving healthy gums, typically allowing patients to resume normal activities within a day rather than weeks. Many patients wonder about pain levels, healing time, and effectiveness—all reasonable concerns when exploring treatment options. Our specialists use local anaesthesia to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure. Below, we've addressed the most common questions to help you make an informed decision about this modern approach to gum health.
Laser gum therapy is an advanced dental treatment that uses focused light energy to remove infected gum tissue and bacteria. At London Dental Specialists, we utilise this minimally invasive technique to treat gum disease (periodontitis) by precisely targeting infected areas while preserving healthy tissue. The laser simultaneously sterilises the treatment area and stimulates tissue regeneration, offering a more comfortable alternative to traditional surgical methods.
Yes, laser gum therapy is highly effective. Clinical studies show excellent results in treating gum disease by precisely removing infected tissue and bacteria from periodontal pockets. At London Dental Specialists, our patients experience significant improvements in gum health, reduced pocket depths, and decreased risk of further complications. The treatment also promotes tissue regeneration and attachment to the tooth surface, helping to reverse the effects of gum disease when combined with proper home care and regular maintenance.
Laser gum therapy offers several advantages over traditional treatments:
Laser gum therapy is significantly less painful than traditional gum surgery. At London Dental Specialists, we administer local anaesthesia before the procedure to ensure your comfort. Most patients report minimal discomfort during and after treatment. You may experience some tenderness and mild sensitivity for 24-48 hours following the procedure, but this is typically manageable with over-the-counter pain relief if needed. The precise nature of laser treatment means less trauma to surrounding tissues, resulting in a more comfortable experience overall.
Healing after laser gum therapy is remarkably quick. Most patients can return to normal activities within 24 hours. Complete healing typically occurs within 7-10 days, significantly faster than the 2-4 weeks required after traditional gum surgery. At London Dental Specialists, we provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure optimal healing. The laser's unique properties promote tissue regeneration and reduce inflammation, contributing to this accelerated recovery time.
Laser gum therapy has minimal side effects compared to traditional surgery. Some patients may experience:
These effects are typically short-lived and resolve quickly as healing progresses. Our team at London Dental Specialists provides comprehensive aftercare guidance to minimise any discomfort.
The number of laser gum therapy sessions depends on the severity of your gum disease and your individual response to treatment. At London Dental Specialists, we typically complete treatment in 1-2 sessions for mild to moderate cases. More advanced cases may require additional appointments. During your initial consultation, our specialists will assess your condition and provide a personalised treatment plan with a clear timeline. Follow-up appointments are essential to monitor healing and ensure optimal results.
Laser gum therapy is suitable for most patients with gum disease, but not everyone is an ideal candidate. At London Dental Specialists, we conduct a thorough examination to determine if this treatment is right for you. Factors we consider include the severity of your gum disease, overall health, and specific dental conditions. Patients with certain medical conditions or those taking specific medications may require special considerations. We provide personalised recommendations based on your unique situation during the consultation.
The cost of laser gum therapy at London Dental Specialists varies depending on the extent of treatment needed, the number of teeth affected, and the severity of your gum disease. During your consultation, we provide a detailed treatment plan with transparent pricing. While laser therapy may have a higher initial cost than some traditional treatments, many patients find it cost-effective when considering the reduced recovery time, fewer complications, and potentially fewer follow-up visits. We offer various payment options to help make this advanced treatment accessible.
