Gum Disease Treatment – Scaling & Root Planing and Laser Therapy
Gum disease is one of the most common and most overlooked oral conditions. It often begins silently, with no pain, and gradually damages the gums and bone supporting your teeth. The good news is that gum disease is treatable, especially when caught early. With advanced deep-cleaning techniques and laser therapy, we can eliminate infection, stop inflammation, and restore gum health.
What Is Gum Disease?
Gum disease (periodontal disease) is a bacterial infection beneath the gumline. It appears in two stages:
Gingivitis – Red, swollen, bleeding gums caused by early inflammation.
Periodontitis – A deeper infection that damages the bone and tissues supporting your teeth.
Many patients don’t realize they have gum disease until it becomes advanced, which makes early diagnosis essential.
Common Symptoms of Gum Disease
If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s important to begin treatment quickly to prevent further tissue and bone loss.
Why Gum Health Matters?
Periodontal disease doesn’t just affect your mouth. It is linked to heart disease, stroke, diabetes, pregnancy complications, chronic inflammation, and certain respiratory problems. Healthy gums are essential for protecting your teeth and your overall health.
Scaling & Root Planing (Deep Cleaning)
Scaling and root planing is the gold-standard, non-surgical treatment for gum disease. It removes hardened bacteria under the gums and smooths the roots of the teeth so the gums can reattach and heal.
How the Treatment Works?
Scaling: Plaque and tartar are removed from below the gumline.
Root Planing: The root surfaces are smoothed so bacteria cannot easily reattach.
The area is gently numbed so the procedure is comfortable and stress-free.
What You Can Expect After Treatment
Most patients feel significant improvement after just one session.
Laser Gum Treatment
Laser therapy is an advanced, minimally invasive treatment that removes infected tissue, kills bacteria, and stimulates healing without cutting or sutures. It’s gentler and more precise than traditional methods.
Benefits of Laser Treatment
Laser therapy is an ideal addition to scaling and root planing for moderate or advanced gum disease.
Laser Socket Treatment After Extractions
After a tooth is removed, the extraction socket is vulnerable to infection, delayed healing, and dry socket. Laser socket treatment dramatically improves healing and reduces complications.

What Laser Socket Therapy Does
This is especially beneficial for wisdom teeth, infected teeth, or surgical extractions.

A history of gum disease
*These treatments work together to stop the infection and restore gum health.
No. The gums are numbed to ensure complete comfort.
Initial healing starts within days, with full recovery in several weeks.
Yes. Lasers disinfect, reduce inflammation, and speed up healing far more effectively than traditional methods.
With proper cleanings and home care, we can keep it under control. Periodontal maintenance every 3–4 months is essential.
In many cases, yes — especially when treated early.
