What Is Laser Periodontal Therapy?
Laser periodontal therapy is a modern approach to treating gum disease that uses advanced dental lasers to gently remove bacteria and infected tissue beneath the gumline. By clearing away infection, the gums can reattach more securely to the teeth, helping to slow or even reverse the effects of periodontitis—all without the need for scalpels or stitches.
Benefits of Laser Periodontal Therapy
- Gentler treatment – Minimal bleeding and reduced discomfort compared to traditional gum surgery.
- Faster recovery – Shorter healing times so you can return to normal activities quickly.
- Greater precision – Lasers target only diseased tissue, protecting healthy gums and teeth.
- Minimally invasive – No cutting or sutures needed, making the procedure safer and more comfortable.

Laser periodontal therapy at Empower Dental Pasadena is designed to be straightforward, comfortable, and effective. After a detailed exam and digital imaging, we use advanced lasers to remove bacteria and clean out infected gum pockets. Most patients need only a single appointment, and healing is typically fast and virtually painless.

Moderate to severe gum disease

Bleeding, swollen, or receding gums
