Laser Therapy
Laser technology has transformed how we treat periodontal disease and manage soft tissue. At our office, we use both Er:YAG and Nd:YAG diode lasers to treat infection, contour tissue, and support healing.

Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) in Dentistry
Photodynamic therapy is a minimally invasive treatment that combines a light-sensitive agent (photosensitizer) with a specific wavelength of laser light to selectively target and destroy harmful microorganisms, such as bacteria involved in periodontal disease.
In periodontal care, PDT is often used as an adjunct to scaling and root planing or surgical procedures to:
Eliminate pathogenic bacteria within periodontal pockets
Reduce inflammation and promote healing
Minimize the need for systemic antibiotics
Support peri-implantitis therapy and long-term implant health
Its highly targeted nature makes PDT a safe and effective option for enhancing the results of traditional therapies.

Photobiomodulation Therapy (PBMT) in Dentistry
Photobiomodulation therapy, formerly known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT), uses specific wavelengths of light to stimulate cellular function, enhance tissue repair, and reduce pain and inflammation.
In dentistry and periodontics, PBMT is used for:
– Post-surgical healing support (e.g., following implant placement or grafting)
– Reducing post-operative discomfort and swelling
– Managing TMJ discomfort and myofascial pain
– Accelerating recovery in soft tissue lesions and ulcers
– Enhancing bone and soft tissue regeneration around implants or grafts
PBMT is completely non-invasive, painless, and has no known side effects, making it an excellent adjunct for improving patient comfort and outcomes.
