At Smile Brighter Willoughby Hills, we are excited to provide our patients with laser treatment. Laser treatment is much less invasive than traditional scaling and root planing used to address periodontal disease. Scaling and root planing requires the dentist to perform oral surgery to help clean bacteria and tartar off all the surfaces of the teeth including the root. Instead, patients can come to our practice and enjoy comfortable treatment with our laser treatment. Patient will experience less bleeding, pain, and enjoy a shorter recovery time. This makes it a much more desirable option for gum disease treatment.
Additionally, our practice offers Perio-Protect, a non-invasive solution for patients who have ongoing problems with periodontal disease.

X-rays may be taken and an examination will be performed.
