Laser Bacteria Reduction

 Protect Your Gums from Harmful Bacteria

Are you concerned about gum inflammation, bleeding, or the lingering presence of disease-causing bacteria in your mouth? Oral bacteria are constantly colonizing in the mouth, and can significantly impact your gum health and overall well-being. At Ethos Dental Studio in Surrey, British Columbia, we offer an advanced and effective treatment called Laser Bacteria Reduction (LBR), designed to significantly reduce harmful bacteria and enhance your gum health.

How Laser Bacteria Reduction Works

Laser Bacteria Reduction is a specialized therapy that uses a targeted dental laser to manage and reduce bacterial populations in your mouth, particularly in the gum pockets. This procedure is often performed as an enhancement to your regular dental cleaning.



  1. Targeted Application: A precise dental laser is gently guided along your gum line and into the gum pockets. The laser's energy is specifically tuned to target and eliminate harmful bacteria.
  2. Bacterial Elimination: The laser effectively reduces the number of disease-causing bacteria, especially in those hard-to-reach areas where traditional cleaning might miss them.
  3. Inflammation Reduction: By directly addressing the source of inflammation (bacteria), the treatment helps to diminish gum bleeding, swelling, and redness.
  4. Sterilization and Protection: The laser also sterilizes the treated area, minimizing the risk of bacterial infections.


This innovative process aims to provide immediate and long-lasting support for gum health by actively managing bacterial load.

✦ Benefits

Understanding The Cost Of Laser Bacteria Reduction

Investing in Laser Bacteria Reduction is an investment in your long-term gum health and overall well-being. At Ethos Dental Studio, we believe in transparent pricing.



For this therapy, which is often performed as an enhancement to your regular dental cleaning, the cost typically ranges from $50 - $100 per session. The exact fee can depend on the extent of the treatment and the number of teeth involved.


Factors Influencing the Cost:


  • Extent of Treatment: If you have more widespread inflammation requiring treatment across multiple areas, the cost may be higher.
  • Adjunctive Therapy: This laser therapy is commonly performed in conjunction with a professional dental cleaning or as part of periodontal maintenance, so its cost is added to the base cleaning fee.


Regarding insurance coverage for laser-based therapies, coverage can vary. We recommend checking with your insurance provider to understand your specific benefits. Our team is here to assist you with insurance inquiries.

  • How long does laser bacteria reduction last?

    The immediate bacterial reduction from an LBR session is significant. However, bacteria are constantly re-colonizing in the mouth. For optimal results and sustained gum health, LBR is typically recommended as an adjunct to your routine professional dental cleanings, usually every 3 to 6 months. Consistent home care is also crucial to prolong the benefits.




  • Can I eat after laser bacteria reduction?

    Yes, in most cases, you can eat and drink immediately after a Laser Bacteria Reduction procedure. LBR is a very gentle and non-invasive treatment that doesn't typically require any dietary restrictions. Your hygienist will provide any specific post-treatment instructions if necessary.

  • Is Laser Bacteria Reduction Worth It?

    Many patients find Laser Bacteria Reduction to be a valuable investment in their oral health. It provides a non-invasive way to significantly reduce harmful bacteria, which can lead to healthier gums, reduced bleeding, fresher breath, and a decreased risk of gum disease progression. For individuals prone to gingivitis or looking for an enhanced clean, LBR can be a highly beneficial addition to their preventative dental care routine.
