Soft Tissue Laser Therapy: Gentle Treatment for Gum Disease and Receding Gums

When your gums need attention, the thought of dental tools and discomfort might make you hesitate to seek care. But at Bixby Dental Studio in Long Beach, Dr. Jose and Dr. Sara take a modern, compassionate approach to periodontal health. Soft tissue laser therapy offers a gentle, minimally invasive solution for treating gum disease and receding gums without the stress or discomfort of traditional methods.

What Is Soft Tissue Laser Therapy?

Soft tissue laser therapy uses highly focused light energy to treat gum issues with remarkable precision, offering a comfortable alternative to traditional surgical techniques. This advanced technology allows for powerful antibacterial effects while preserving healthy tissue.

Not only does soft tissue laser therapy help reduce discomfort and bleeding during treatment, but it also encourages faster healing and leads to less postoperative discomfort. At Bixby Dental Studio, we use soft-tissue lasers to:

• Remove diseased or inflamed gum tissue without scalpels or sutures
• Sterilize periodontal pockets to reduce bacterial infection
• Encourage gum tissue regeneration and reduce gum recession

Because laser therapy minimizes bleeding and swelling, many patients return to their daily routine faster and with minimal downtime.

When Is Laser Therapy Used for Gum Disease and Recession?

If you're dealing with symptoms like bleeding gums, gum sensitivity, or visible recession, soft tissue laser therapy may be part of your customized treatment plan. Dr. Jose and Dr. Sara evaluate each patient carefully to determine the most effective and conservative option. This gentle laser treatment is ideal for:

• Early to moderate stages of gum disease (gingivitis or periodontitis)
• Gum line correction caused by recession or uneven tissue
• Patients looking for a non-invasive periodontal treatment

For patients who may be anxious about traditional gum surgery, laser therapy offers needed relief, both physically and emotionally.

Advantages of Soft Tissue Laser Treatment

Laser dentistry continues to transform how we restore oral health. At Bixby Dental Studio, we integrate cutting-edge tools like intraoral scanners and lasers to deliver precise, personalized care that puts your comfort first. A few key benefits of soft tissue laser therapy include:

• Minimized discomfort during and after the procedure
• Reduced need for anesthesia or sutures
• Shorter healing time and lower risk of infection
• More predictable outcomes tailored to your unique gum structure

Our use of laser dental tools is about more than just efficiency. It’s a reflection of how we approach your oral care with empathy and intention, always considering your comfort and long-term health.

A Relaxing, Bilingual Experience from Start to Finish

Trust is the foundation of meaningful dental care. That’s why Dr. Jose and Dr. Sara prioritize bilingual, patient-centered communication, making sure you feel understood, respected, and informed at every step, whether you speak English or Spanish.
