At Maryland Holistic Dentistry in Dunkirk, Annapolis, and Crownsville, MD, laser gum surgery offers an advanced, minimally invasive solution for treating gum disease. We are committed to preserving your natural teeth and promoting overall wellness through a holistic approach. This innovative procedure helps restore gum health with greater comfort and faster recovery compared to traditional methods. Our goal is to provide effective care that supports your body’s natural healing capabilities.

Laser gum surgery utilizes advanced CO2 LightScalpel technology to precisely target and remove diseased gum tissue. This minimally invasive procedure aims to regenerate healthy gum tissue and stimulate natural bone and tissue healing. It serves as a gentle, holistic alternative to traditional surgical methods for treating periodontal disease.
Your journey begins with a thorough assessment, including detailed 3D CT scans and periodontal charting. This allows our team to understand the full extent of your gum disease and tailor a precise treatment plan.
The CO2 LightScalpel laser is then used to gently vaporize infected tissue and eliminate harmful bacteria deep below the gumline. This advanced laser leaves healthy tissue undisturbed, focusing only on the areas needing treatment.
Following the laser, specialized ultrasonic instruments meticulously remove calculus (tartar) from the root surfaces of your teeth. This step ensures a clean foundation for gum reattachment and healing.
Finally, the laser promotes the body’s natural healing process by sealing tissue and stimulating new attachment of bone and gums. There are no stitches required, leading to a natural regeneration of healthy tissue.

Laser gum surgery offers significant advantages, including no scalpels or sutures, resulting in minimal bleeding and inflammation. Patients experience faster recovery times, often resuming daily routines within 24–48 hours. This procedure also naturally stimulates bone and tissue regeneration, helping to preserve healthy gum tissue.
PRF therapy uses your body’s own growth factors to accelerate healing and regeneration after laser treatment. It enhances tissue repair and reduces post-operative discomfort.
Ozone therapy is a complementary treatment that helps disinfect the treated areas and promotes a healthier oral environment. It supports overall healing and reduces bacterial load.
For patients who experience dental anxiety, IV sedation provides a relaxed and comfortable treatment experience. This option ensures you remain at ease throughout your laser gum surgery.
After your gums are healthy, we can address any necessary restorative dental work to complete your smile. This may include fillings, crowns, or other procedures to restore full function and aesthetics.
