What is Laser Bacterial Reduction?
Laser Bacterial Reduction (LBR) is a non-invasive procedure that uses laser technology to target and eliminate bacteria in the gum pockets. This treatment is typically used during regular dental cleanings to reduce the bacterial load in your mouth, thereby minimising the risk of periodontal disease and other oral health issues.
Benefits of Laser Bacterial Reduction:
- Minimally Invasive: No cutting or stitching involved.
- Pain-Free: Most patients experience no discomfort during the procedure.
- Effective: Significantly reduces bacteria in gum pockets.
- Quick: The procedure can be completed during a regular dental visit.

What are Non-Surgical Periodontal Laser Treatments?
Non-Surgical Periodontal Laser Treatments use advanced laser technology to treat periodontal disease without the need for traditional surgical methods. This approach is effective for removing diseased tissue, reducing bacteria, and promoting the regeneration of healthy tissue.

Less Pain and Discomfort: Compared to traditional surgery, laser treatments are generally less painful.
Faster Recovery: Minimal downtime and quicker healing.
Precision: Lasers can target diseased tissue accurately without affecting surrounding healthy tissue.
Reduced Risk of Infection: The laser sterilises the area, reducing the chance of post-treatment infection.
FAQs
What is the difference between Laser Bacterial Reduction and Non-Surgical Periodontal Laser Treatments?
Laser Bacterial Reduction focuses on eliminating bacteria in the gum pockets during routine cleanings to prevent periodontal disease. Non-Surgical Periodontal Laser Treatments, on the other hand, are used to treat existing periodontal disease by removing diseased tissue and promoting healing.
Is laser treatment safe?
Yes, laser treatments for dental care are safe and have been approved by the FDA. They are designed to minimise discomfort and reduce the risk of complications compared to traditional methods.
How long does the laser treatment take?
Laser Bacterial Reduction can be completed during your regular dental cleaning appointment. Non-Surgical Periodontal Laser Treatments may take longer, depending on the severity of the disease and the number of areas being treated.
How should I prepare for my laser treatment?
There is no special preparation needed for laser treatments. However, it is important to maintain good oral hygiene and follow any specific instructions provided by our dental team.
Are there any side effects of laser periodontal treatment?
Most patients experience minimal side effects. Some may experience slight gum sensitivity or swelling, which typically subsides within a few days.
How soon can I eat after laser treatment?
You can generally eat soft foods immediately after treatment, but it is advisable to avoid hot or spicy foods for the first 24 hours. Our dental team will provide you with detailed post-treatment care .
