Laser gum surgery recovery is within 24-48 hrs. Should feel completely normal within a week following surgery.
It takes 3-7 days .
The answer to this depends on what is being done. Your best source of information would/should be your treating surgeon. most oral procedures are pretty good for patient comfort and function with in three days. The benefit of laser is that it is supposed to be quicker patient comfort sooner. That may be the case for some procedures depending the surgeons involved. Total healing of "laser gum surgery" actually improves over an extended time around 1 yr. Patient function - total normal eating any food couple weeks and comfort usually with in 1-3 days.
Depends on the procedure, but it is very quick and shouldn’t require much down time at all
Usually back to work in 2 days. Tissues need 2 weeks.
It depends what the laser surgery is for, but for most procedures, heal by the next day.

Hi there,

The benefits of laser surgery is that there is NO cutting and sutures, very minimal discomfort during and after the surgery and it is also very conservative way to address the issue so healing is quicker compare to traditional surgeries.
Hope that clarifies and helps you.
