Gum Laser Therapy and Gum Recession: What You Need to Know

If your gums have started to recede or bleed easily, you may be developing periodontal (gum) disease. In the past, treatment often required invasive procedures that could be uncomfortable and lengthy to recover from. However, with modern laser gum therapy in Culver City, you can now restore your gum health more comfortably and effectively than ever before.

 

Understanding Gum Recession

Gum recession occurs when the gum tissue pulls away from your teeth, exposing the roots. This can lead to sensitivity, an increased risk of decay, and even tooth loss if left untreated. Common causes include poor oral hygiene, aggressive brushing, genetics, and untreated periodontal disease.

When gums recede, it’s not just a cosmetic concern - it’s a sign of ongoing damage to the supporting structures of your teeth. Early detection and treatment are essential to protect your smile.

 

What Is Laser Gum Therapy?

Periodontal Laser Therapy is a minimally invasive alternative to traditional gum surgery. It uses advanced laser technology to target and remove diseased tissue without cutting or sutures. This precise approach helps sterilize the area, reduces bacteria, and encourages the gums to heal naturally.

One of the most advanced methods available is LANAP - Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure. This FDA-approved technique allows your dentist to remove infected tissue and promote the regeneration of healthy gum and bone. The laser’s precision means less discomfort, minimal bleeding, and faster healing compared to conventional treatments.
 

Benefits of Gum Laser Therapy

Patients who undergo laser gum therapy often experience:

•          Minimal discomfort during and after treatment

•          Little to no bleeding thanks to laser cauterization

•          Reduced infection risk due to the laser’s sterilizing effect

•          Faster recovery times and improved gum reattachment

•          Preservation of healthy tissue, unlike traditional surgery

This advanced procedure not only halts the progression of gum disease but can also encourage the gums to reattach to the tooth roots, improving both function and aesthetics.
