Kalani R.The team at Transcendentist of Berkeley, California, understands that gum disease can develop in clients who might not be taking the proper steps at home to maintain their oral health. With the help of Drs. Praj Kamat and Ruhi Sangha, clients can get a proper diagnosis of periodontal disease and seek effective treatment, including our laser periodontal therapy. Let’s look at some frequently asked questions about this state-of-the-art treatment option available at Transcendentist.
Laser periodontal therapy is best described as a cutting-edge, minimally invasive treatment for gum disease. By using a focused laser, Drs. Praj Kamat and Ruhi Sangha can remove harmful bacteria and infected tissue while promoting healing in a precise and gentle way.
Not at all! Laser periodontal therapy is designed with your comfort in mind. Most of our clients at Transcendentist feel little to no discomfort during the treatment, and since lasers are less invasive than traditional methods, recovery tends to be faster and smoother.
It depends on the severity of your gum disease and how many areas need treatment, but most sessions are relatively quick, lasting about an hour or so per visit. You will be in and out quickly with little interruption to your day.
Absolutely! Laser periodontal therapy has been extensively studied and is FDA-approved. When performed by a trained professional at Transcendentist, it’s both safe and effective for treating gum disease.
Unlike traditional gum surgery, laser therapy doesn’t require cutting or stitching, which means less pain, reduced swelling, and a quicker recovery time. Additionally, it’s a lot less intimidating for our current and new clients who are nervous about dental procedures.
Laser periodontal therapy is a powerful tool for treating gum disease, but its success also depends on you! Maintaining good oral hygiene and regular dental checkups are essential for keeping your gums healthy and happy and preventing the condition from returning.
The cost can vary depending on your specific case, but many of our clients find it worth the investment, given the faster recovery and excellent results. Plus, some dental insurance plans may cover part of the treatment, so be sure to talk to our front office team to determine your coverage.
Laser gum therapy makes tackling gum disease easier than ever, keeping your smile bright and your gums healthy without the hassle.
