What is laser-supported periodontal treatment?
Laser-supported periodontal treatment is a minimally invasive alternative to traditional gum surgery. At ndu Clinic, we use YSGG laser technology to treat gum disease with precision, targeting infected tissue and bacteria while preserving the healthy tissue around it.
For patients with moderate to advanced gum disease, this approach offers significant advantages over conventional surgical methods: less discomfort, no incisions or sutures, minimal bleeding, and faster recovery times.
What is Deep Pocket Therapy (DPT)?
Deep Pocket Therapy (DPT) is an FDA-cleared laser treatment specifically designed for moderate to advanced periodontal disease. It works by using the YSGG laser to remove diseased tissue and bacteria from deep gum pockets, then stimulating the remaining healthy tissue to reattach to the tooth root.
This process promotes genuine tissue regeneration rather than simply controlling infection. It is one of the most advanced non-surgical periodontal treatments available.
What are the benefits?
- Reduced discomfort: significantly less pain than traditional gum surgery
- Faster healing: no incisions means the tissue recovers more quickly
- No sutures needed: the laser seals tissue as it works
- Precise bacterial elimination: the laser targets bacteria in the periodontal pocket
- Tissue regeneration: promotes new attachment of gum tissue to the tooth root
- Minimal bleeding: the laser cauterises as it treats
Why does gum health matter for your whole body?
At ndu Clinic, we see periodontal treatment as part of your overall health strategy. Research has consistently linked gum disease to cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic inflammation, and other systemic conditions. By treating gum disease effectively, we are not only protecting your teeth but supporting your broader wellbeing.
