Laser Gum Treatment  

20/04/2026

At Campsie Laser Dental, we use advanced laser technology to treat gum conditions like periodontitis. Our goal is to restore your oral health using minimally invasive techniques that promote faster healing. 

Understanding Periodontitis 

Periodontitis is a serious gum infection that occurs when gingivitis (gum inflammation) is left untreated. If ignored, it can lead to the decay of the gums, bone and supporting tooth tissues. In advanced stages, it may even cause teeth to fall out. 

Common causes of gum disease include: 

  • Poor oral hygiene habits 
  • Smoking 
  • Genetic predisposition 
  • Systemic diseases, such as diabetes 

Periodontitis is typically classified into three categories: aggressive, complex, or necrotising. 

How Laser Gum Surgery Works 

During your appointment, our local Campsie dentists use a specialised dental laser to target and eliminate inflamed gum tissue. The procedure follows these key steps: 

  1. Tissue Removal: The laser precisely removes infected tissue from around the base of the tooth. 
  2. Scaling: Once the infected tissue is cleared, we perform root scaling to scrape away calculus (tartar) and plaque from below the gumline. 
  3. Root Smoothing: Finally, the tooth root is smoothed out. This prevents bacteria from building up in the future and encourages the gum to reattach to the tooth. 

Benefits of Laser Treatment 

Choosing laser therapy over traditional surgery offers several significant advantages: 

  • Minimally Invasive: The procedure is gentle, resulting in minimal bleeding. 
  • Reduced Infection Risk: The laser sterilises the area by eliminating bacteria during the process. 
  • Faster Recovery: Patients generally experience quicker healing and less post-operative discomfort. 
  • Enhanced Safety: It is a safer alternative to traditional cutting and grafting, particularly for patients with diabetes, HIV, or haemophilia.
