TwinLight® Periodontal Treatment​

Dr. Sachs uses TwinLight® Periodontal Treatment for periodontal diseases, this laser therapy helps remove the diseased tissue and eliminate bacteria as well as heal the sutures of the mouth.

-No needles required
-Fast recovery and minimal downtime
-Lessened bleeding

How it Works: The Nd:YAG laser removes the diseased epithelial lining of the periodontal pocket and improves access to the root surface.

The Er:YAG laser is used to thoroughly remove microbial biofilm and calculus from the root surface.

The Nd:YAG laser energy is used to coagulate and promote the formation of a stable fibrin clot.

The Er:YAG laser is used to gently remove infected tissue and bacterial biofilm from periodontal pockets, while the Nd:YAG laser penetrates deeper to disinfect and stimulate tissue regeneration.

For recovery, most patients resume to normal activities within 24-48 hours after the procedure.

Laser Periodontal Treatment

Instead of cutting/suturing the gums traditionally, the laser targets the inflamed and infected gum tissue. It moves around the teeth and gets rid of bacteria, such as plaque and tartar. It causes less damage and trauma around the mouth than a ‘normal’ procedure. Laser Periodontal Treatment is also considered less invasive and is overall a quick procedure with fast healing results.
