Gentle and Effective, For Peace of Mind

Hearing you have gum disease can be unsettling, and the thought of treatment might bring some anxiety. At LPK Dental, we want you to feel confident and comfortable with your care. That’s why we offer advanced periodontal laser therapy, a modern approach to treating gum disease without the need for scalpels or sutures.

We simply believe there’s a better way to help you get healthy. Instead of more invasive treatments, this laser allows us to care for your gums with a gentler touch, making your path back to health a much more comfortable one.

What is Laser Gum Therapy and Why Should I Care?

Traditionally, treating moderate to severe gum disease involved invasive surgery. While effective, it often meant a more uncomfortable procedure and a longer, more difficult recovery. Periodontal laser therapy completely changes that experience.

It uses a highly focused beam of light to precisely remove infected tissue and kill the harmful bacteria causing the infection. It’s a minimally invasive technique that offers a much better experience for our patients. This is especially important for our friends and neighbors in The Northwoods, as it means less downtime and a quicker return to your daily life.

The Patient Experience: What to Expect

Choosing laser therapy at LPK Dental means choosing a calmer, more comfortable path back to health. We want you to feel confident in your care, so here’s a look at what you can expect during your visit:

• Focusing Only on What’s Needed: The laser is incredibly precise, allowing us to gently remove only the unhealthy tissue from your gums. We don’t have to disturb any of the healthy areas, which makes the whole process gentler and helps set the stage for a better recovery.
• A More Comfortable Experience: Since we aren’t using a scalpel or placing stitches, your visit is much more comfortable from start to finish. In fact, most of our patients are pleasantly surprised by how little discomfort they feel.
• Helping Your Body Heal Naturally: The laser does more than just clean the area. It also gives your body a little nudge to kickstart its own natural healing process. This helps your healthy gums form a tight, protective seal around your teeth, which is the foundation for lasting gum health.

The Clear Benefits of Laser Treatment

Opting for periodontal laser therapy isn’t just about using the latest technology. It’s about choosing a better treatment experience with real, tangible benefits.

• Significantly Less Discomfort: Patients consistently report less pain both during and after the procedure compared to traditional surgery.
• Quicker Recovery Time: With less trauma to the gums, your healing process is much faster.
• Reduced Swelling and Bleeding: The laser is incredibly precise and helps to seal blood vessels, minimizing bleeding and swelling.
• Lower Risk of Infection: The laser’s energy sterilizes the area as it works, killing bacteria and reducing the risk of post-treatment infection.
