What Does Laser Bacterial Reduction Treatment Involve?

Laser Bacterial Reduction (LBR ) is a cutting-edge procedure we perform during your routine cleanings or when treating diseased gum tissue. Using a specialized non-cutting laser, your periodontist will target and eliminate bacteria embedded deep within your gum tissue. This is goes beyond the traditional techniques.  The laser technology targets this tissue safely, eliminating harmful bacteria without damaging healthy cells. It offers numerous benefits:

  • Takes just 5 minutes to complete
  • Reaches bacteria hidden in gum tissue
  • Minimizes any bleeding during cleanings
  • Prevents bacteria from entering your bloodstream
  • Supports long-term gum health

This research-backed teeth is better for your dental health. Recent clinical research has demonstrated the effectiveness of laser technology in fighting periodontal disease. A 2023 study published in the Journal of Pharmacy and Bioallied Sciences confirmed that diode lasers are more effective at eliminating periodontal bacteria compared to traditional ultrasonic treatments alone.

Even more compelling, groundbreaking research by our own Dr. Everett showed that laser therapy continues to reduce periodontal pathogens for up to 6 months after treatment. This lasting impact makes LBR an invaluable tool in maintaining long-term oral health.
