We, at Agnus Dei- Algarve Dental Centre offer this minimally invasive option when our patients face gum surgery, cavity treatment, or other oral issues. It can be used as an aide to conventional treatments or as an isolated application in cases of specific pathologies. This type of therapy results in time saving and better quality of tissue repair in the affected area, allowing faster regeneration and more effective tissue nutrition.
Most issues laser therapy treatments are related to the gums.
