Periolase Therapy
“Nearly three out of every four American adults suffers from some type of periodontal or gum disease. It’s no exaggeration to say that we are in the midst of a gum disease epidemic. That’s the bad news. The good news is PerioLase.”
Ron VanWechel, DDS
Periodontal (gum) disease is insidious. It destroys the tissue surrounding your teeth, and it also destroys the bone that holds your teeth in place. Except for bad breath and gums that bleed, there are very few early warning signals. It advances silently, often without pain, and before you know it, you are losing your teeth and you don’t know why.
Tooth loss is only the most obvious indicator of gum disease. Scientific research has discovered linkage between gum disease and stroke, heart disease, diabetes—even an increased risk for pregnant women. When your gums become diseased, your entire immune system is weakened.
In the past, fear of painful dental surgery has kept people with gum disease from seeking the care they needed. Well, those days are gone forever. Now, I am able to provide you with the newest, most effective state-of-the-art periodontal treatment right in my office using the proven laser therapy, PerioLase. PerioLase is the only FDA approved NON-surgical laser gum treatment available today. It’s fast, convenient and requires absolutely no cutting, no stitches and no lengthy recovery period.
If you look in your sink after you brush your teeth and you see blood, IT IS NOT NORMAL. It’s a sign of gum disease. Ask about PerioLase therapy, and stop gum disease in its tracks.

Laser Periodontal Therapy™ for General & Periodontal Practices
Laser Periodontal Therapy™ is a laser-based approach to gum disease using an Nd:YAG free running pulsed laser requiring specific knowledge and skills drawn from the whole dentistry.
To you, the patients, this means: less pain, less bleeding, less swelling, less tissue removed, less down time, and less recovery time, which is decidedly less costly to you and your employer. The reasons we use Laser Periodontal Therapy ™ are to: remove only the diseased tissue without removing any of the healthy tissue, maintain the height of the tissue around the teeth, minimize pain, and discomfort to the patient, get a closure of the periodontal pocket wound and allow healing to take place. Controlling periodontal disease makes it possible to save and restore otherwise hopeless involved teeth.
Treatment Procedure:
- Perio probe indicates excessive pocket depth.
- Laser light removes bacteria and diseased tissue.
- Ultrasonic scaler and special hand instruments are used to remove root surface tartar.
- Laser finishes cleaning pocket and aids in sealing the pocket closed so new germs cannot enter.
- Healing of gums to clean root surface occurs.
- Bite trauma is adjusted.
- Healing occurs.
