Periodontal Disease can become devastating for many patients. Although nobody wants it…. it nonetheless occurs and rapidly advances, for a variety of reasons.

Gingivitis is the usual starting point and although easily treatable for most patients, commonly develops into a serious disease process.

Traditional disease treatment procedures are considerably invasive with some dental and periodontal practices and can be a painful experience for some patients.

Based on active research conducted by two renowned dentists, a gum tissue surgery therapy that incorporates the use of an Nd:YAG laser (most widely used laser platform in modern dentistry) was developed to successfully compete with the more traditional methods of eliminating or managing the disease process.
