At Pasquale J. Malpeso, DMD, PC, we use laser pocket disinfection as part of our commitment to modern, noninvasive periodontal care. This advanced technique allows our dentist and team to target harmful bacteria below the gumline with precision, reducing inflammation and promoting healthier tissue without the need for surgery.
Laser pocket disinfection is used to support the treatment of periodontal disease, a condition that affects the gums and supporting structures of the teeth. When left untreated, gum disease can lead to tooth loss and systemic health issues. This laser-based method offers a safe, effective way to manage bacterial infection and support healing.
What to Expect During the Procedure
The process begins with a thorough periodontal evaluation. Our dentist will assess the depth of gum pockets and the extent of inflammation before recommending laser disinfection. The procedure is often used in conjunction with scaling and root planing to enhance the effectiveness of traditional therapy.
During treatment, a soft-tissue diode laser is used to disinfect the pockets around the teeth. The laser targets and destroys bacteria while minimizing trauma to healthy tissue. The procedure is comfortable, requires no anesthesia and is typically completed in a single visit.
Patients often experience reduced bleeding, swelling and discomfort compared to conventional treatment methods. The laser also stimulates tissue regeneration and helps promote reattachment of the gums to the teeth, supporting long-term periodontal health.
Minimally Invasive, Highly Effective
Laser pocket disinfection allows our team to provide precise, targeted treatment that minimizes discomfort and recovery time. Because the laser energy is highly focused, there is less risk of damaging surrounding tissues, and healing tends to be quicker.
This approach can be especially beneficial for patients with chronic or recurring gum disease, as it provides a powerful antimicrobial effect without the need for medication or invasive surgery. Our dentist and team prioritize patient safety, using laser technology to support better clinical outcomes and long-term maintenance.
