Save your teeth with gentle laser gum treatment.

Comfortable, Effective Laser Treatment

A gentle alternative to traditional gum surgery

Gum disease is a bacterial infection that inflames and progressively destroys the gum and bone that support your teeth. Left untreated, it's the leading cause of adult tooth loss. The good news: it's very treatable — and Dr. Williams treats it with the latest technology, including gentle laser therapy.

"Laser treatment is noninvasive and a great alternative to traditional gum surgery," says Dr. Williams. "The laser targets and removes diseased tissue while leaving healthy tissue unaffected. Patients have far less discomfort and much faster healing than with regular surgery."

Dr. Williams makes sure you're comfortable throughout — with effective numbing and sedation options available so you can rest easy while your gums and teeth are cleaned and disinfected.

Know the Signs

Nearly half of U.S. adults have gum disease — are you one of them?

Gum disease often causes no pain until it's advanced. Watch for these signs — and if you notice any, don't wait.

🩸 Bleeding when brushing or flossing 😮 Red, swollen, or tender gums 😣 Pain or sores in the mouth 📉 Receding gums 🦷 Loose teeth 😬 Persistent bad breath or bad taste ⚠️ Pus between gums and teeth 🔄 A change in how your teeth fit together

Smokers take note: smoking can hide these symptoms. If you're a smoker, a gum-health exam is especially important.

Your Mouth & Your Whole Body

Gum health is whole-body health

Most people don't realize how closely oral health and overall health are linked. Research suggests the bacteria behind gum disease can travel to other parts of the body and play a role in increasing the risk of:

  • Heart disease and stroke
  • Diabetes
  • Dementia and rheumatoid arthritis
  • Osteoporosis and respiratory disease
  • Pancreatic and some other cancers

Early diagnosis and treatment of gum disease helps reduce the danger of these serious conditions. By treating gum disease effectively, Dr. Williams helps protect not just your smile — but your overall health.

Teeth other dentists would pull

Dr. Williams has many years of experience rescuing teeth from gum disease — with a high success rate in saving natural teeth that many dentists would have given up on and extracted. A second opinion is always welcome.

Laser gum treatment uses a focused dental laser to remove diseased, infected gum tissue while leaving healthy tissue untouched.
