The 5 Benefits You’ll Love About Laser Gum Disease Treatment
Nearly half of the Adults in America have periodontal disease. So, if your dentist has said you have gum disease, you are not alone. It’s a common oral condition that affects millions! The good news? Gum infections don’t have to be a fact of life. At Manhattan Beach Dental Solutions, we offer laser-assisted periodontal treatment to address both moderate and advanced gum disease. For many patients, it offers a more comfortable, minimally invasive alternative to traditional treatment.
The benefits of laser gum surgery
While periodontal disease is a severe condition, advanced technology has transformed how it’s treated. With technologies like dental lasers, dentists can address gum disease quickly and effectively without scalpels or sutures.
Here are the benefits you can expect from laser gum treatment.
Benefit 1: Minimally invasive treatment
The traditional treatment for advanced gum disease relies on incisions and sutures. While effective, the traditional cut-and-sew method can be invasive. In contrast, lasers give more control over the treatment area, ensuring precision. Lasers help the dentist target only the diseased tissues, leaving the healthy tissues unscathed.

Benefit 2: Comfortable experience
Discomfort is one of the reasons many people avoid dental treatment. Because lasers are minimally invasive, many patients report significantly less pain during the procedure. In fact, sometimes anesthesia isn’t necessary. When you combine precision and minimal discomfort, laser treatment ensures a more pleasant experience overall.
Benefit 3: Quick recovery
One of the drawbacks of traditional gum surgery is the uncomfortable, prolonged recovery. However, lasers ensure a faster recovery, and patients typically return to normal activities within 2-3 days. Since there are no incisions or sutures, patients also experience minimal post-op complications.
Everybody produces bacteria in their mouth. At first, it’s invisible, and with time, that plaque in bacteria hardens against the tooth and it actually breaks down the bone that the teeth sit in. There’s a new procedure in dentistry called LANAP, where we’re able to save these teeth. We remove all the bacteria. We’d use a laser that helps to regenerate the bone that teeth sit in. Call us today, so we can schedule you an appointment.
Benefit 4: Encourages tissue regeneration
Laser treatments, such as the Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure (LANAP), stimulate gum and bone tissue, thereby ensuring faster recovery. This regenerative aspect sets it apart from other treatments that primarily focus on removal rather than true healing.

Lasers cauterize tissue as they work, which significantly reduces bleeding during the procedure compared to traditional surgical methods.
Do I qualify for laser gum disease treatment?
Laser therapy is excellent for many patients, including those who have:
- Moderate to advanced gum disease.
- Deep pockets around teeth.
- Fear of traditional gum treatment.
- Loose or shifting teeth.
Above is just a guide. A consultation is the best way to determine your eligibility for laser-assisted periodontal care. During your consultation, the dentist will examine your gums and bone to determine whether laser treatment is the best treatment. Many patients are candidates, even when there is extensive damage.
