There are 200 million adults in the United States. About 50% have moderate to severe periodontitis or gum disease. However, only 3% are treated in a given year. The fear of pain (Algophobia) usually keeps these patients from seeking dental treatment.

PerioLase Therapy, the first periodontal (gum) treatment ever to be granted a U.S. patent, is noninvasive, less traumatic and does not require the use any blades or stitches which means no cutting, minimal bleeding and no sutures.

Laser therapy provides a breakthrough treatment for gum disease, its enormous potential is just now being realized, and offers a friendly alternative to traditional gum surgery.

Procedures using this form of therapy are relatively pain-free, require less chair time, and the recovery period is extremely shortened without creating any interruptions to an individual's daily schedule.

Patients are happy with the results, benefits and experience the new laser gum therapy has to offer.
