Laser Therapy

Dental lasers may be used for selected treatments involving the gums and other oral tissues. At Roseville Smiles, Dr. Sri will evaluate your needs and explain whether laser therapy could be appropriate as part of your care.

What Is Dental Laser Therapy?

A dental laser delivers concentrated light energy through a specialized instrument. Depending on the device and procedure, it may be used to treat or reshape soft tissue.

Different lasers have different applications. The recommended approach depends on your diagnosis and the treatment being performed.

Laser Therapy and Gum Health

For some patients, a laser may be used alongside other periodontal treatments. It does not replace the need to remove plaque and tartar, maintain daily oral hygiene, or attend recommended follow-up appointments.

Dr. Sri will explain the purpose of laser treatment in your individual plan, along with its potential benefits, risks, costs, and alternatives.

What Can I Expect?

Before treatment, we will discuss the procedure and your comfort needs. Protective eyewear is worn during laser use, and local anesthesia may be recommended depending on the treatment.

Afterward, you will receive instructions for caring for the area and scheduling any necessary follow-up visits. Recovery and results vary with the procedure and your oral health.

Is Laser Therapy Right for Me?

Laser treatment is not necessary or appropriate for every dental concern. An examination helps determine which approach best addresses your needs.
