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."

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:

I had an exceptional experience at Dr. Palmer's dental practice. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted warmly and made to feel right at home. The office ambiance was modern and inviting, and the cleanliness was top-notch, which immediately put me at ease. Dr. Palmer and his dental hygienist, Victoria, were not only highly professional but also incredibly courteous throughout my visit. They took the time to explain each step of the process, ensuring I felt comfortable and informed at all times. What truly stood out to me was their attention to detail and their genuine care for their patients' well-being. One thoughtful touch that made my visit even more pleasant was the personalized welcome sign with my name on it—a small gesture that spoke volumes about their commitment to customer satisfaction. Additionally, being able to watch Netflix during my cleaning was a fantastic perk that helped me relax and feel more at ease.
