Doctor's Opinion
Over 31 years in dentistry
In my practice, I often use laser technology. It has proven to be highly effective, especially for patients with periodontal diseases. The laser allows for precise gum contouring without unnecessary cuts and stitches, removing only the pathological tissues.
What is WaterLase laser gum treatment?
Laser Gum Treatment is a procedure that removes inflamed tissue using a powerful yet very fine laser beam. The WaterLase laser distinguishes healthy gum areas from affected ones, removing only the infected tissue. This leads to rapid gum healing and prevents tooth loss. Thanks to its powerful antibacterial effect, it completely eliminates the pathogenic bacteria that contribute to the development of periodontitis.
At Laser Dentistry in Fort Lauderdale, we use the Waterlase iPlus device with a touch control system to treat periodontal diseases. This device, unparalleled in the world, was developed by Biolase, a leading manufacturer of medical equipment.
Benefits of Laser Gum Treatment
At our clinic, we use a laser system daily. Here are the advantages it offers compared to traditional methods:
-
Wide Range of Applications Waterlase is designed for use in periodontics, endodontics, and implantology. In general dental practice, it is used for treating cavities, wedge-shaped defects, and sealing fissures in children.
-
Minimally Invasive Laser treatment does not require cuts or stitches, which reduces the invasiveness of the procedure.
-
Reduced Recovery Time Due to the lower trauma, patients recover faster and can return to their normal activities more quickly.
-
Less Pain Laser treatment often doesn't require anesthesia or requires a smaller amount. With minimal gum trauma, there is little to no pain after the procedure.
-
Less Bleeding he laser operates in coagulation mode, gently sealing small blood vessels. This prevents bleeding during and after the procedure.
-
Reduced Risk of Infections The laser beam has a bactericidal effect. It removes all infected tissues along with pathogenic bacteria during the procedure.
-
Precision Waterlase iPlus removes only pathological tissues, leaving all healthy areas intact. The absence of bleeding ensures precise work, which is especially important in aesthetic areas.
When the WaterLase Dental Laser is Used
With the laser system, we perform the following types of procedures:
-
Treatment of Periodontitis WaterLase is designed for the curettage of pathological gum pockets. The laser cleans the gingival sulcus from overgrown granulation tissue and destroys pathogenic bacteria. After treatment, the gums fit snugly against the roots, pus discharge disappears, and tooth mobility is reduced.
-
Gum Contouring The laser replaces the surgeon’s scalpel. To coagulation mode, it prevents bleeding in the incision area. The doctor has a clear view of the surgical field, and the patient is not troubled by postoperative bleeding.
-
Treatment of Cavities and Wedge-Shaped Defects Unlike drilling with a bur, laser treatment does not cause vibration, which can lead to cracking of the tooth's hard tissues. The treatment takes less time, and the filling adheres more securely to the tooth tissues.
-
Treatment of Periodontitis The erbium-chromium laser destroys pathogenic bacteria in the root canals, providing anti-inflammatory and anti-edema effects. After antiseptic treatment, the tissues in the area of the root apex quickly heal. Swelling of the gums and pain when biting down on the tooth subside within 2 days.
-
Cavity Prevention To protect permanent teeth from cavities, fissure sealing is performed during childhood. When using a laser, there is no need for anesthesia or acid etching of the cavity. This shortens the procedure time and makes it more comfortable.

Stages of Laser Gum Treatment
- Consultation and Diagnosis
The doctor examines the gums, measures the depth of periodontal pockets, and may order a CT scan to determine the extent of bone atrophy. He then outlines the treatment plan, specifying the scope, duration, and cost of the procedure.
- Oral Cavity Preparation
The dentist removes tartar and pigmented bacterial plaque, sanitizes the oral cavity with a chlorhexidine-based antiseptic, and trims the edges of overhanging fillings.
- Laser Application
Using a periodontal attachment, the dentist painlessly cleans the gingival sulci of granulation tissues and infection. The laser targets only pathological tissues, leaving healthy tissues untouched.
- Result Assessment and Recommendations
Once all periodontal pockets are cleaned, the doctor concludes the procedure and provides recommendations on oral hygiene to prevent plaque buildup from causing inflammation. After one month, the depth of periodontal pockets decreases, and symptoms such as pus discharge, tooth mobility, swelling, gum redness, and bad breath are eliminated.
