Laser gum surgery is a modern surgery alternative where light energy is used to improve your oral health and your smile. It's a method used to kill bacteria and stimulate bone growth around your existing teeth.
Laser gum treatment has many benefits. But this method can be hazardous due to the risk of infection transmission. It can also harm tooth surface and dental pulp. Subcutaneous and submucosal tissues are also affected.
With laser gum treatment, you can expect to heal faster than traditional gum surgery. The length of time it will take your gums to heal depends on the severity of your gum disease. It can take anywhere from 2 – 4 weeks, while deeper pockets can take months to completely heal.
