What Is Laser Gum Treatment?

Maintaining the health of your gums is essential to your oral health; if periodontal disease or oral cancer goes untreated, they can affect both your dental and overall health. At Palmer Dental Group of Houston, we use laser technology to address various gum problems. Our state-of-the-art laser helps Dr. Palmer perform more effective treatment of the advanced stage of gum disease (periodontitis). Dr. Palmer also uses laser technology to perform oral pathologies that identify pre-cancer and cancer in the mouth. Laser gum treatments may also be performed in certain cosmetic dentistry procedures to help reshape the gums or decrease the look of a smile that looks “gummy.” Schedule a consultation with Dr. Palmer to learn more about laser gum treatments at his dental clinic in Houston, TX.

I had a wonderful experience here. After being upcharged by two other chain dentist brands (I was duped by the branding, which makes it seem like they are private), I specifically needed someone in network. The other place told me my daughter had 3 cavities; here they said there was not even one, and one tooth just needed sealant. They were kind and efficient.

Nice office, nice staff and they took me back quickly. They also have high tech equipment and cleaning was easy. They were definitely trying the upsell on some extra services but I’ll be going back. Great spot!
