Advanced Laser Dentistry & Hygiene Therapy

Advanced Laser Dentistry & Hygiene Therapy

Modern dental technology designed to support healthier gums, reduce harmful bacteria, and improve comfort during treatment.

Beyond Traditional Dental Cleanings

At 425 Dental, our hygiene team is specially trained in advanced laser-assisted therapies that many dental offices do not offer as part of routine hygiene care.

By incorporating laser technology into periodontal treatment and preventive care, we are able to better target harmful bacteria, reduce inflammation, support healing, and improve overall patient comfort.

These therapies are minimally invasive, highly effective, and designed to support long-term oral health and wellness.

Benefits of Laser-Assisted Dental Therapy

Laser technology offers significant advantages during hygiene and periodontal treatment, including:

  • More predictable treatment outcomes
  • Reduction of harmful oral bacteria
  • Reduced inflammation and tissue irritation
  • Support for tissue healing and regeneration
  • Increased collagen production and faster healing
  • Reduction of biofilm and plaque buildup
  • Greater patient comfort during and after treatment
  • Reduced post-treatment sensitivity

Because oral bacteria naturally recolonize over time, regular laser-assisted therapy can help maintain lower bacterial levels and healthier gum tissue long-term.

Laser Bacterial Reduction (LBR)

Laser Bacterial Reduction is a painless therapy added to your hygiene or periodontal maintenance appointment to help reduce harmful bacteria and inflammation within the gums.

This treatment takes approximately 5–7 minutes and requires no anesthetic.

During the procedure, the laser is used to reduce bacteria in inflamed or diseased gum tissue while also stimulating healthy cell activity and tissue healing.

Benefits of LBR

  • Helps reduce bacterial levels below the gumline
  • Supports healthier gum tissue
  • Reduces inflammation
  • Encourages healing
  • Helps minimize bacteria in treatment aerosols
  • Comfortable and completely non-invasive

 

One of the most important benefits of LBR is that it reduces bacteremia. By decreasing bacterial counts before procedures that can cause bleeding, LBR may help reduce the number of bacteria entering the bloodstream.

Laser Assisted Periodontal Therapy (LAPT)

Laser Assisted Periodontal Therapy is an advanced treatment used during periodontal therapy to improve the effectiveness and comfort of deep cleanings.

After the teeth and root surfaces are carefully cleaned using ultrasonic and hand instrumentation, the laser is used to selectively remove diseased tissue and reduce embedded bacteria within the periodontal pockets.

This process helps create a healthier environment for healing and tissue regeneration.

Benefits of LAPT

  • Helps reduce harmful bacteria below the gumline
  • Targets diseased tissue while preserving healthy tissue
  • Supports regeneration of healthier gum tissue
  • Helps reduce pocket inflammation
  • Improves comfort during periodontal therapy
  • Often results in less post-treatment discomfort


Topical or local anesthetic may be used depending on your treatment needs.

Aphthous Ulcer & Cold Sore Laser Therapy

Laser therapy provides fast, comfortable relief for aphthous ulcers (canker sores) and herpetic lesions (cold sores).

Treatment is painless, requires no anesthetic, and typically takes only a few minutes.

The laser helps reduce inflammation, discomfort, viral and bacterial activity, and healing time.

Many patients experience immediate symptom relief following treatment.

Benefits of Lesion Therapy

  • Faster healing time
  • Reduced discomfort and irritation
  • Helps decrease severity and recurrence
  • No injections or anesthetic required
  • Comfortable, quick treatment


Healing time is often reduced from 10–14 days down to approximately 3–5 days

Laser treatments are $100 or less per session and are eligible for most HSA/FSA plans.
