Why Laser Dentistry Is a Game-Changer for Gum Disease

Gum disease is one of the most common oral health issues, and if left untreated, it can lead to tooth loss, discomfort, and even affect your overall health. Traditional treatments often involve scaling, scraping, or surgery, which can be invasive and uncomfortable. Fortunately, advances in dental technology now offer gentler, faster, and more effective options: laser dentistry. At Wanlass Dental, we proudly use both the Solea® CO2 dental laser and the WaterLase iPlus™ system to transform how gum disease is treated.
 

What Is Laser Dentistry?

Laser dentistry uses highly concentrated beams of light and water to target and treat diseased tissue. Both Solea and WaterLase are designed specifically for dental applications, allowing your dentist to precisely remove bacteria and infected gum tissue while promoting healing at the same time. These technologies minimize the need for drills, scalpels, and stitches—making gum disease treatment more comfortable and efficient.
 

Benefits of Laser Gum Disease Treatment

•          Minimally Invasive Care - Solea® and WaterLase iPlus™ reduce the need for traditional surgical tools, leading to less bleeding, swelling, and discomfort during and after treatment.

•          Faster Healing Times - Because these lasers cauterize and disinfect as they work, recovery is typically quicker compared to conventional gum surgery.

•          Reduced Risk of Infection - By sterilizing the treated area, Solea and WaterLase minimize bacterial growth, lowering the chance of complications.

•          Precision and Comfort - These laser systems precisely target diseased gum tissue without harming healthy areas, creating a more comfortable experience for patients.

•          Often Anesthesia-Free - Many patients require little to no anesthesia for laser treatments, making procedures less stressful.
 

Why Solea® CO2 and WaterLase iPlus™ Are Game-Changers

The Solea® CO2 Laser is uniquely designed to treat both hard and soft tissues with precision. This advanced technology allows us to thoroughly remove infected gum tissue while carefully preserving the healthy areas of your gums. As a result, patients experience more effective treatment outcomes with less discomfort and a smoother recovery process compared to traditional methods.
 

The WaterLase iPlus™ system takes a different approach by combining laser energy with a gentle spray of water for highly precise, minimally invasive treatment. This innovative technology reduces the risk of thermal damage, enhances overall comfort during procedures, and is especially effective for treating gum disease and other soft tissue concerns. Together, these two state-of-the-art systems allow us to customize care and achieve the best results for every patient.
