Why Laser Therapy is Different

First and foremost, no general anesthesia is needed for laser gum therapy. Lasers can also more effectively target the problem areas, more so than scaling and root planing. As a result, bleeding, swelling, and pain are minimized because lasers are less invasive. Also, the recovery and healing period is usually shorter. Although coverage of the procedure is up to your insurance provider, laser gum therapy may actually be less expensive than traditional methods in the long run because it requires fewer office visits and less medication.

However, since lasers are lasers, the correct wavelength and power level must be used in order for laser gum therapy to be effective. At Sunrise Dental, we use our experience to precisely calibrate our lasers for each and every patient. You have nothing to worry about!
