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.
How Are Laser Gum Treatments Performed?
Laser gum treatments are performed at Palmer Dental Group of Houston and generally only require a local anesthetic. Nevertheless, additional sedation options may be available if you have dental fears or anxieties. Prior to your treatment, Dr. Palmer will go over precisely what you can expect during the process, whether you're having treatment for periodontal disease, getting an oral biopsy, having crown lengthening, or undergoing cosmetic gum sculpting. The laser minimizes bleeding and does not typically require stitches.
What Are the Benefits of Laser Gum Treatment?
Laser gum treatment takes a cutting-edge approach to periodontal care, providing Houston, TX patients with multiple advantages over traditional methods. Some of these essential advantages include:

For an emergency cap, they made an appointment the next morning, used top notch scan technology to determine that I needed a new crown, did the tooth work, & I left with a temporary crown same day. Highly recommended.
