Treatment for advanced periodontitis with Biolase WaterLase iPlus

Non-Surgical Laser Gum Disease Treatment

Patients diagnosed with periodontal disease can enjoy numerous benefits with laser gum disease treatment using the Biolase WaterLase iPlus laser. We have found that laser therapy is an effective minimally-invasive procedure for patients that have moderate to severe gum disease. We can eradicate an infection in the mouth without damaging healthy gum tissue and also promote the tissue healing and regeneration process.

Effects of Gum Disease

Many people do not realize how much of an impact gum disease can have on their overall health. Bacteria that enters the mouth through open wounds from gum disease may travel to other parts of the body and organs. This is why gum disease has been linked to systemic health issues and problems such as diabetes, heart disease, and stroke.

Some of the symptoms of gum disease include:

Bleeding Gums
Sensitive Teeth
Inflammation
Bad Breath
