What Is Laser Gum Surgery?

Laser gum surgery is a minimally invasive procedure that uses focused light energy to treat gum disease, remove diseased tissue, reduce bacteria, and stimulate regeneration of the gum line and underlying bone. Unlike traditional gum surgery, which often involves cutting with scalpels and sutures, laser therapy allows for precise targeting of affected areas with less swelling, pain, and bleeding.

The Farber Center specializes in LANAP (Laser-Assisted New Attachment Protocol)—the only FDA-cleared laser gum surgery scientifically proven to regenerate bone and reattach healthy gum tissue. We also offer LAR (Laser-Assisted Regeneration) and LAPIP treatments for peri-implantitis (infections around dental implants), using the powerful and versatile PerioLase MVP-7 system.

Why Choose Laser Over Traditional Gum Surgery?

Many patients hesitate to treat gum disease because of fear around surgery, but laser therapy changes that. Here’s why Farber Center recommends laser gum surgery:

• No Cutting or Stitches: Laser energy targets diseased tissue without scalpels or sutures.
• Less Bleeding: Lasers cauterize as they work, reducing blood loss during treatment.
• Lower Risk of Complications: Reduced chance of infection, swelling, and discomfort.
• Shorter Recovery Time: Most patients return to normal activities sooner.
• True  Regeneration: LANAP and LAR promote regrowth of bone and gum tissue.
• Preserves Healthy Gum Tissue: Only diseased areas are removed—keeping your smile intact.

Our periodontists use the PerioLase MVP-7, a cutting-edge device that delivers seven unique pulse modes for highly customized periodontal treatments. It’s one of the most effective tools for treating moderate to severe gum disease without the trauma of traditional surgery.

Conditions Treated with Laser Gum Surgery

Laser gum procedures can address a wide range of oral health issues, including:

• Periodontitis: Chronic gum disease that destroys gum tissue and bone.
• Gum Recession: Loss of gum tissue exposing tooth roots.
• Peri-implantitis: Infection around dental implants.
• Tooth Decay and Bone Loss: Often linked to untreated gum infection.
• Gummy Smile: Lasers can reshape the gum line for improved aesthetics.
• Crown Lengthening: Prepares teeth for restorative work by exposing more structure.

Whether you’re dealing with severe gum inflammation, infected tissue, or a smile impacted by excess gum tissue, laser-assisted treatment offers an effective and more comfortable solution.

What to Expect During a Laser Gum Procedure

1. Initial Consultation

Your first visit includes a full oral exam, X-rays, and a conversation with one of our experienced periodontists. We’ll evaluate the severity of your gum disease and determine if you’re a candidate for LANAP or other laser therapy.

2. Local Anesthesia

The treated area is numbed with a local anesthetic to ensure a pain-free experience. Most patients report only mild soreness or sensitivity after the procedure.

3. Laser-Assisted Treatment

The laser targets and removes diseased tissue while killing bacteria. Unlike traditional root planing and scaling, laser energy reaches deep into the periodontal pockets to disinfect and stimulate healing.

4. Regeneration and Recovery

Laser treatment stimulates the body’s natural healing process—encouraging the reattachment of healthy gum tissue to the tooth roots and promoting bone regeneration. There are no stitches, minimal bleeding, and a significantly shorter recovery period than traditional gum graft surgery.

Post-Treatment Care and Recovery for Laser Periodontal Surgery

Recovery from laser gum surgery is typically quick and manageable. Here’s what most patients can expect:

• Soft foods only for the first few days to avoid irritating the surgical site.
• Minimal swelling or mild soreness, easily managed with over-the-counter medications.
• No stitches or sutures to worry about removing.
• Faster healing and reduced risk of complications compared to traditional methods.
• Return to normal activities often within 24 to 48 hours.

Patients will receive full instructions and a personalized care plan from our periodontists to ensure optimal healing.

Who’s a Candidate for Laser Gum Surgery?

Laser periodontal treatment is ideal for many patients experiencing gum disease, including those who:

• Have moderate to severe gum disease
• Want to avoid traditional surgery and sutures
• Are concerned about pain or swelling
• Have experienced bone loss around the teeth
• Need to treat infection near dental implants
• Have a gummy smile or excess gum tissue

Frequently Asked Questions

Is laser gum surgery painful?
Most patients report little to no pain during the procedure. Local anesthesia keeps the area numb, and recovery is typically faster and more comfortable than traditional surgery.

How long does the procedure take?
Treatment times vary depending on how many areas need care, but most sessions last one to two hours. Some patients may need multiple appointments for full-mouth treatment.

Will I need stitches after laser gum surgery?
No. Laser gum surgery is suture-free, which means no stitches and less swelling or bleeding. This also makes the healing process faster and more comfortable.

Can laser gum surgery regrow bone?
Yes, LANAP and LAR are FDA-cleared protocols shown to regenerate bone around teeth. They also encourage the reattachment of gum tissue to reduce pocket depth and improve oral health.
