Overview
Having healthy gums is extremely important. Problems like gum disease and oral cancer can affect both your oral and general health if not treated properly. At Dental Express, periodontist uses state-of-the-art laser technology to deal with a broad range of gum (periodontal) conditions.
This advanced treatment allows us to perform periodontal therapy more efficiently, take biopsies to detect precancerous or cancerous spots in your mouth, and perform cosmetic treatments like gum-sculpting to reduce “gummy” smiles.

Best Candidates
Periodontist laser gum treatment is a great option for anyone in need of periodontal treatment, an oral biopsy, or gum reduction. If you have periodontitis, we can use the laser to eliminate plaque and bacteria hidden deep in the pockets of your gums.
For biopsies, we use it to extract tissue from the affected area. And for gum therapy, the laser removes excess gum tissue to show more of your teeth and give you a less gummy smile.
Laser gum treatment is less invasive than surgery, requires little to no anesthesia, and doesn’t require stitches or lengthy recovery times.
