Laser-assisted gum care
A selected tool within periodontal treatment
A dental laser may be used for selected periodontal procedures when Dr Robin Ratcliffe considers it clinically appropriate. The decision follows a full assessment of your gums and supporting tissues.
Laser treatment is not a replacement for established periodontal care. Professional plaque removal, appropriate surgical techniques, daily home care and ongoing maintenance remain important parts of treatment where indicated.
