What are the advantages of laser treatment?

Dental treatments with state-of-the-art laser technology can be:

• Faster and more efficient
• Minimal discomfort
• Less invasive and more conservative
• Safer and more precise
• Less likely to cause infection
• Performed earlier, as an interceptive treatment
• Used on soft tissue with no anesthesia at earlier stages of periodontal disease

How does laser light treat gum disease?

The laser light is focused on areas showing mild to severe signs of periodontal disease and activated to reach the vulnerable areas between the tooth and surrounding gum tissue. In a minimally invasive application, the elements of periodontal bacteria are instantly vaporized.

How many LPT treatments will I need?

LPT sessions last about 2 hours each, and most people will require 2 such sessions to treat gum disease involving the entire mouth.

What should I expect for my recovery from laser therapy?

There is minimal to no down time following laser therapy.

• There are no stitches needed
• There is minimal risk of post-treatment infection
• The laser immediately seals blood vessels and nerve endings, so there will be little to no blood and little if any swelling

The tissue that was treated may be sensitive for a few days, but you should not expect to miss any work or restrict normal activities.

Are laser dentistry treatments expensive?

At the Scottsdale office of Dr. Lachot and Dr. Loo, we believe in making laser dental treatment affordable to all our patients. We view cosmetic dentistry as an investment in yourself and your dental health - when your smile looks and functions better, you feel better and have improved self-confidence. While this benefit is priceless, we strive to keep our treatments affordable while offering a variety of payment options. Depending on the laser treatment, your treatment may be covered in part or in full by your insurance company. We also offer financing for qualified patients to help defer costs.
