K Dental is proud to offer the latest technology available for periodontal therapy: laser treatment. Compared with traditional methods requiring a scalpel and sutures, the laser approach transforms what gum treatment feels like — and how fast you heal.
Gum disease is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults over 35, which makes treating it early one of the most valuable things you can do for your long-term health. Laser therapy pairs naturally with a consistent periodontal maintenance schedule, and healthy gums are also the foundation required before cosmetic work like veneers or restorative work like implants.
Benefits of Gum Disease Laser Therapy
- Reduced or no bleeding, minimal swelling, no drill noise or vibration
- Often only a light anesthetic spray is needed — no injections
- The laser sterilizes as it works, reducing infection risk and relapse
- Healing begins immediately; recovery is much faster than traditional surgery
- Lower chance of gum disease returning versus traditional surgery
What can laser therapy treat?
Dr. Kheradmand uses laser technology for a range of procedures, including frenectomy, osseous (bone) surgery, and gum grafting — and to remove diseased gum tissue in a virtually painless way while encouraging healthy gum to regenerate and reattach to the teeth. Because the laser eliminates the trauma of cutting and suturing, postoperative sensitivity is greatly limited and the stress many patients associate with gum treatment simply doesn't apply.
How do I know if I have gum disease?
Gums that bleed when you brush or floss, persistent bad breath, redness or swelling, gum recession, and loose teeth are all warning signs. Gum disease is often painless until it's advanced — which is why it's checked at every exam. If you've been told you need "deep cleaning" or gum surgery, ask us whether laser therapy is an option for you.
Cost & Financing
Periodontal treatment is typically covered in part by dental insurance. Cost depends on how many areas need treatment and the severity of the disease — after your periodontal evaluation you'll receive a clear written plan before anything begins.
Payment is due at the time of service unless other arrangements are made in advance — we accept Visa, MasterCard, and Discover. See our financial policy for details.
