Stop Gum Disease in Its Tracks With Laser Gum Therapy
Before dental lasers, periodontal treatments and surgical procedures were very uncomfortable for patients, especially those with dental anxiety. Today, Durango Laser Dentistry, uses laser gum therapy as a safe, comfortable and quick way to fight the progression of gum disease for patients of all ages.
What To Expect During Treatment
For laser gum therapy, Dr. Mason Miner uses a BIOLASE Waterlase soft-tissue laser to utilize water and air. This handheld device allows our dentist and team to clean and disinfect the impacted areas of your mouth without causing any of the frequently noted pain associated with metal tools and heat-based lasers. We use this laser as an advanced way to kill bacteria and remove infected tissue to improve the health of your teeth and gums.
