Laser gum treatment

Dr. Nabeel Al Nahhas, a consultant prosthodontist in the UAE with more than 28 years in dentistry, treats gum disease and reshapes the gum line with the Waterlase iPlus laser, which works with a cooling water spray instead of the scalpel. BIOLASE's minimally invasive Waterlase REPAIR gum protocol gives patients less swelling, bruising and bleeding, with clinical results equal to open-flap gum surgery and faster healing than the scalpel and stitches. It is part of a full gum care plan that starts with a professional cleaning.

Who it is for

  • Bleeding, swollen or receding gums from gum disease (gingivitis or periodontitis).
  • Gum pockets that need cleaning and disinfection below the gum line.
  • An uneven gum line or a gummy smile, reshaped with the laser.
  • Healthy gums around crowns and implants, before or after restorative treatment.

How treatment runs

  1. Gum assessment

    Free consultation with a digital X-ray, and gum pocket measurements.

  2. Professional cleaning

    Cleaning above and below the gum line removes plaque and tartar. Teeth are then polished smooth.

  3. Laser treatment

    The Waterlase treats inflamed tissue, disinfects the pockets and reshapes the gum line, gently and with fewer injections.

  4. Healing

    Less bleeding and swelling means you are back to your normal routine quickly.

  5. Maintenance

    Regular reviews and cleanings keep your gums firm and healthy.

Laser or conventional gum surgery?

Waterlase gum treatment

No scalpel, less bleeding, swelling and bruising, and the same clinical results as open-flap surgery.

Conventional gum surgery

The gum is cut open and stitched, with more bleeding, more swelling and a longer recovery.

Keeping your gums healthy

  • A precise gum assessment shows exactly which areas the laser treats.
  • Daily brushing and flossing, plus cleanings every six months, keep the result.
  • Tell Dr. Nabeel about smoking or diabetes, and he builds it into your gum care plan.
  • You receive clear aftercare instructions after each visit.

Common questions

Does laser gum treatment hurt?

No. Laser gum treatment is gentle: no scalpel, fewer injections, and less bleeding and swelling afterwards.

Does the laser replace the scalpel?

Yes, for gum treatment. The Waterlase treats and reshapes the gum without cutting it open.

Can a laser fix a gummy smile?

Yes. When the gum covers too much of the tooth, Dr. Nabeel reshapes the gum line with the laser for a balanced smile.

How much does laser gum treatment cost?

The consultation is free and includes a digital X-ray, and Dr. Nabeel gives you your plan and its cost in writing.
