Laser gum treatment is a noninvasive, painless procedure that can treat a wide range of gum conditions. It has many advantages over the conventional procedures. To list a few :

1. The need for anesthesia may be reduced or even eliminated
2. Less bleeding during and after the procedures
3. Reduced risk of infection.
4. Decreased Sensitivity.
5. Less time in dental chair.
6. Less post-treatment discomfort, pain and swelling.
7. Faster healing.
8. Less need for sutures
9. Safe on patients taking anticoagulants like Asprin, Plavix which need not be stopped prior to the laser procedures.
10.Less damage to the sorrounding tissues

"Although laser is a very useful dental instrument, it is not appropriate for every dental procedure"

In our clinic we use a diode laser to treat almost all gum problems such as :

• Removing the excess of gum (Gummy Smile) or Gingivectomies
• Removing the melanin pigmentation of the gingiva (black or brown spot)
• Treatment of canker sores, herpetic, and aphthous ulcers of the oral mucosa
• Gingival troughing for crown impressions 
• Gingivoplasty
• Gingival incision and excision
• Hemostasis and coagulation
• Excision and incision biopsies
• Exposure of unerupted teeth
• Fibroma removal
• Frenectomy and frenotomy
• Implant recovery
• Incision and drainage of abscess
• Leukoplakia
• Operculectomy
• Oral papillectomies
• Pulpotomy
• Pulpotomy as an adjunct to root canal therapy
• Reduction of gingival hypertrophy
• Soft tissue crown lengthening
• Vestibuloplasty
• Sulcular debridement (removal of diseased, infected, inflamed, and necroses soft tissue in the periodontal pocket to improve clinical indices including gingival bleeding index, gingival bleeding index, probe depth, attachment loss and tooth mobility).
• Laser and soft tissue curettage
• Removal of diseased, infected, inflamed and necrosed soft tissue within the periodontal pocket.
• Removal of highly inflamed edematous tissue affected by bacteria penetration of the pocket lining and junctional epithelium.
