Laser Periodontal Care

Laser Assisted Gum Treatment in Midtown NYC

Advanced periodontal care without the pain. Periodontitis is a common dental health problem that attacks the soft tissues holding your teeth in place. At Rozenberg Dental NYC, Dr. Lana Rozenberg uses state-of-the-art laser technology to treat gum disease with pinpoint precision. No scalpels, no drilling, no sutures, and virtually no pain.

About the Treatment

What is Laser Gum Treatment?

Also known as gum disease, periodontitis is the second stage of gum disease and calls for immediate treatment to avoid more serious consequences. The soft tissues of your gums are responsible for holding your teeth in the right place, so damage to them affects far more than just the gums.

Laser Assisted Tissue and Bone Regeneration (LANAP) is a breakthrough approach that uses precisely calibrated dental lasers to target and remove damaged tissue while leaving healthy tissue completely intact. The laser accurately eliminates all signs of disease effortlessly, without cutting, drilling, or stitching.

Dr. Lana Rozenberg is a proven expert in laser periodontal care with extensive knowledge and experience treating all stages of gum disease. At our Midtown Manhattan office, we implement the most advanced dental laser equipment, tuned at specific wavelengths to make every procedure as precise and safe as possible.

Step by Step

How Laser Gum Treatment Works

Our laser procedures are designed to be as precise and safe as possible, using equipment tuned at specific wavelengths to accurately target damaged tissue.

1

Evaluation & Diagnosis

Dr. Rozenberg performs a thorough examination of your gums, assessing the stage of periodontal disease and the severity of infection to determine the ideal laser treatment approach.

2

Precision Laser Application

Using lasers tuned at specific wavelengths, Dr. Rozenberg accurately targets damaged tissues and removes all signs of disease, while leaving healthy tissue completely intact.

3

Deep Cleaning & Decontamination

The laser accesses deep periodontal pockets, removing tartar, plaque, and bacteria that create rough surfaces where more plaque builds and more bacteria breed.

4

Tissue & Bone Regeneration

The laser energy stimulates your body’s natural healing response, promoting the regeneration of healthy gum tissue and encouraging new bone growth around affected teeth.

Warning Signs

What Happens If Gum Disease Goes Untreated?

Consequences of not removing plaque promptly can be serious. Untreated gum disease leads to tartar buildup, creating rough surfaces where more plaque accumulates and more bacteria breed. It’s common for patients to not even realize they have gum disease, as it rarely comes with pain until the later stages. Recognizing the early warning signs is critical to preventing tooth loss and more invasive treatments down the road.

Receding Gums

Gum tissue gradually pulls away from your teeth, making them appear longer and exposing sensitive root surfaces.

Swollen or Red Gums

Persistent inflammation and redness in your gum tissue is an early indicator that bacteria are attacking the soft tissue.

Bad Taste or Odor

An ongoing unpleasant taste or bad breath that doesn’t resolve with brushing may signal bacterial infection beneath the gumline.

Loose or Wobbly Teeth

As gum disease progresses and damages the supporting soft tissue, teeth can begin to shift or feel loose.

Bleeding When Brushing

Gums that bleed during brushing or flossing are often the earliest sign of gingivitis progressing to periodontitis.

Pain or Sensitivity

Discomfort when chewing or heightened sensitivity to hot and cold can indicate advanced gum disease requiring treatment.

Causes of Gum Disease

Common Causes of Periodontitis

While gum disease can affect anyone, the group most at risk includes patients aged 30 to 40 years old. Understanding the common triggers empowers you to take proactive measures for your oral health.

  • Poor oral hygiene and inadequate brushing or flossing
  • Smoking and tobacco use
  • Eating unhealthy or sugary foods regularly
  • Diabetes and genetic predisposition
  • Hormonal changes during pregnancy or menopause
  • Certain medications that reduce saliva flow

How Long Does Treatment Take?

Treatment time varies from patient to patient depending on the stage of disease, infection severity, and other factors. As a rule, it takes between one to two visits to complete the full treatment course.

Our specialists treat one side of your mouth during the first visit and the other side during the second visit, ensuring thorough care with minimal time commitment.
