What is Laser Pocket Disinfection?

Laser Pocket Disinfection, or LPD, is a state-of-the-art dental procedure employed by Dr. Ryan Yim at Periodontal Specialists of Hawaii. With offices in Honolulu and Kaneohe, we provide advanced periodontal treatments that prioritize your oral health while ensuring maximum comfort. LPD uses laser technology to effectively eradicate harmful bacteria present deep within the periodontal pockets of your gums.

Why Choose Laser Pocket Disinfection?

Unlike traditional periodontal treatments, LPD offers an efficient, non-invasive method of addressing gum diseases. The laser selectively eliminates the disease-causing bacteria, minimizing any potential damage to the surrounding tissues. This ensures a quicker recovery, less discomfort, and a significantly improved oral health outlook.

Who are the Best Candidates for LPD?

Anyone with signs of periodontal disease such as red, swollen, or bleeding gums, or those experiencing loose teeth or bad breath, can benefit from LPD. Our specialist, Dr. Yim, offers an initial consultation to assess your oral health condition and determine if LPD is the right treatment for you.

What Can I Expect During the LPD Procedure?

The LPD procedure, carried out in our Honolulu or Kaneohe locations, involves a specially calibrated laser to target and remove harmful bacteria and diseased tissue. It's a gentle treatment that's often completed without the need for local anesthesia. Throughout the process, Dr. Yim ensures your comfort and safety are our top priorities.

Is the Laser Pocket Disinfection Safe?

Absolutely. LPD is recognized as a safe and highly effective procedure in treating periodontal disease. It's far less invasive than traditional surgical methods, causing less discomfort and ensuring a faster recovery.

What are the Benefits of LPD?

Laser Pocket Disinfection offers numerous benefits. It eradicates harmful bacteria, promotes the natural healing and regeneration of gum tissue, minimizes bleeding and swelling, and significantly reduces recovery time. It's an advanced technique that helps you reclaim your oral health with minimal discomfort.
