At Pasquale J. Malpeso, DMD, PC, we use advanced laser technology to support gum health and reduce the bacterial load associated with periodontal disease. Our dentist and team offer laser pocket disinfection as a noninvasive method to target harmful bacteria in the deep pockets between the teeth and gums. This treatment is used alongside routine cleanings or periodontal therapy to enhance effectiveness and promote long-term oral health.
Laser pocket disinfection is painless, requires no anesthesia and helps create a more stable environment for healing. Patients benefit from this added layer of care without the need for incisions or sutures.
What to Expect During Laser Disinfection
Laser pocket disinfection is typically completed during the same appointment as a dental cleaning or deep cleaning. After plaque and calculus are removed from below the gumline, our dentist and team use a specialized soft-tissue laser to eliminate bacteria and toxins from periodontal pockets.
The laser emits a controlled beam of light that penetrates infected tissue and neutralizes bacterial colonies without damaging healthy tissue. The procedure is quiet, comfortable and completed in minutes per quadrant. Because there is no cutting involved, patients can resume normal activities immediately after treatment.
This approach is especially beneficial for patients with early to moderate signs of gum disease. It helps reduce inflammation, prevent progression and support tissue reattachment around the teeth. For patients undergoing periodontal maintenance, laser disinfection can be repeated periodically to manage bacterial growth and improve long-term outcomes.
Supporting Health With Modern Tools
Laser pocket disinfection provides a minimally invasive way to enhance traditional periodontal care. It reduces reliance on antibiotics, limits inflammation and improves the effectiveness of professional cleanings. By adding laser therapy to our treatment options, we provide an extra level of precision and protection for our patients.
Our dentist and team are trained in laser protocols and integrate them into care only when clinically appropriate. Every procedure is guided by safety, evidence-based practices and personalized treatment goals.
