Laser Bacterial Reduction (LBR)

Laser bacterial reduction therapy, also known as gum disease laser therapy, uses a strong yet precise laser to kill harmful bacteria in the gums. LBR protects not only your oral health, but also the health of the rest of your body. LBR focuses a powerful laser around your teeth in what are called your gum pockets, which may deepen with the progression of gum disease. These pockets are full of active colony forming bacteria and since there’s so many blood vessels in the gums, it is an optimal gateway for the bacteria to enter our bloodstream. With LBR, the laser instantly kills the harmful bacteria in and near these pockets, protecting you from worsening gum disease as well as prevent serious health issues.

Laser bacterial reduction therapy is a quick, painless procedure that can be added to your routine teeth cleaning. It takes just five minutes, and the benefits can last for up to six months. Laser bacterial reduction therapy can be a great addition to your normal teeth cleaning appointment every six months. Depending on how healthy your gums are, we may recommend LBR more frequently at first to help you reverse the effects of gingivitis or mitigate the effects of periodontitis.
