Laser Therapy Procedure

You'll receive a local anaesthetic to eliminate any possible discomfort. A general anaesthetic isn't necessary, because Laser Periodontal Therapy™ is much less traumatic.

A tiny laser fiber (about the thickness of three hairs) is inserted between the tooth and the gum, and the infection is cleared away.

The procedure is fast: It takes just two 2-hour sessions. Dr. Harr will treat one half of your mouth at each session...and you'll probably feel good enough to go right back to work afterwards.
