What is Laser-Assisted Flap Surgery?

Laser-assisted flap surgery is a minimally invasive procedure that utilizes laser technology to remove infected tissue from the gums. This procedure is often recommended for patients with periodontal disease, a condition that causes inflammation and infection in the gum tissue. The laser helps to remove the infected tissue without damaging healthy tissue, promoting faster healing times and reducing the risk of complications.

During laser-assisted flap surgery, a periodontist will use a specialized laser to remove infected tissue from the gums. The laser energy helps to kill bacteria and remove diseased tissue, promoting the growth of healthy tissue. This minimally invasive procedure is performed under local anesthesia and typically takes about an hour to complete.

Laser-assisted flap surgery offers a range of benefits for patients, including:

• Minimally Invasive: Laser-assisted flap surgery is a minimally invasive procedure that does not require incisions or sutures, reducing the risk of complications and promoting faster healing times.
• Precise: The laser technology used in this procedure is very precise, allowing the periodontist to target infected tissue without damaging healthy tissue.
• Reduced Risk of Infection: The laser energy helps to kill bacteria and remove infected tissue, reducing the risk of infection.
• Faster Healing Times: Laser-assisted flap surgery promotes faster healing times and less discomfort compared to traditional surgical procedures.
• Increased Comfort: Patients undergoing laser-assisted flap surgery typically experience less discomfort during and after the procedure.

Laser-assisted flap surgery may be recommended for patients with periodontal disease or other gum-related issues. However, the best way to determine if this procedure is right for you is to schedule a consultation with one of our experienced periodontists. During your consultation, we will evaluate your dental health and recommend the best course of treatment for your individual needs.
