Laser Periodontal Surgery

Eye surgery isn’t the only thing being revolutionized by laser technology.

Laser technology is playing an increasingly important role in periodontal surgery and Worthington Periodontal has invested in the latest laser technology to offer our patients treatment options with less discomfort and bleeding.

Traditionally, bacterial infections were dealt with by a procedure known as scaling and planing, which involved the use of hard instruments to smooth roots and bone to eliminate the surfaces where bacteria form.

Now this same procedure can be performed with lasers. The special periodontal laser can sanitize the pockets and remove any infected tissue. The clots that form as the result of the laser helps the tissue reattach to the bone, promoting healthy infection-free gums.

If you need soft tissue work as a result of infection or recession, you owe it yourself to investigate the benefits of laser periodontal treatment.
