Gum Disease Laser Therapy

Dr. Farthing is proud to offer the latest technology available for periodontal therapy: laser treatment. There are numerous advantages to using laser therapy for treatment of mild to moderate gum disease as opposed to the traditional surgical methods.

Gum Disease Laser Therapy Benefits:

Comfort:

With laser treatment, there is reduced or no bleeding, minimal swelling,  and no drill noise or vibration. The stress and anxiety often associated with dental work is therefore reduced. Also, postoperative sensitivity is greatly limited by the laser, and recovery time is much quicker.

Reduced Risk of Infection:

The laser’s high-energy light beam acts as a sterilizer on the area it is working, thereby reducing the risk of bacterial infections.
