Our high-powered laser helps our team more effectively treat the advanced stage of gum disease (periodontitis).

Who is a good candidate for laser dentistry?
There are many cases in which a laser gum treatment may be used. The laser may be implemented for periodontal disease to eliminate plaque and bacteria deep in your gums' pockets. During a biopsy, the laser is used to excise tissue in the needed region. Laser gum treatment may also be helpful if you want to eliminate overgrown gum tissue and increase the visible enamel to get a more attractive smile. Compared to conventional surgery on the gums, laser gum therapies are less invasive and don't need sutures. You may require less (or no) anesthesia during this treatment and have a shorter healing time.
Hope Family Dentistry Reviews
I cannot say enough good things about this dental office and the care I received for my new top row of crowns. From start to finish, the entire process was effortless—insurance, payments, and options were all clearly explained in detail before I ever committed to treatment, which made me feel completely confident in my decision.The office staff was beyond accommodating, and Dr. Touloumi truly went above and beyond. She worked around my hectic schedule and was incredibly understanding and kind when I had to bring my two-year-old to one of my appointments—a level of compassion that meant so much to me. Dr. Touloumi personally followed up hours after every procedure and again the following day. Any time I had discomfort with my partials, I was seen the same day—even when the issue was my own doing. I genuinely felt like the entire office was emotionally invested in my new smile.Although my commute was about an hour each way, I would do the whole process again in a heartbeat because of the exceptional care I received. Dr. Touloumi’s attention to detail is absolutely mind-blowing, and as a perfectionist myself, I don’t say that lightly. My teeth look so natural that no one could ever tell—they truly look like I was born with a perfect smile.I am incredibly grateful to Dr. Touloumi and everyone at the practice, and I would recommend this office without hesitation to my closest friends and family.
Just had my first dental exam with Dr. Natalie Pesun. She was beyond lovely. Such wonderful bedside manner, very knowledgeable and asked thoughtful questions to get to know me and my history with past dental visits. The hygienist was amazing too! Kept me feeling very calm and comfortable. Looking forward to going back :)
What a great staff extremely helpful, kind. Had a little work done. It came out excellent!😁
Dr. Hope was great, but he has retired. Now Dr. Touloumi is seeing patients and is also great. The hygienists are outstanding. The desk employees are awesome. Everyone is knowledgeable and kind. This dentist office is ran by a small group of wonderful people. Happy to be a patient here.
DR HOPE RETIRED IN 2025. Dr Hope and his staff are nothing short of amazing. The office is spotless and they are practicing social distancing. Our family has gone to Dr. Hope for many years and we have been very happy with his work, his kindness and patience. I was scared to death of dentists but Dr. Hope worked with me to get over that. There is not a better dentist around. The hygienists are great, Melissa is my go to and is gentle and thorough, and fun. Going to the dentist is no longer something to dread. Can’t say enough about Dr. Hope and his staff.

What should you expect on the day of laser gum treatment?
Laser gum treatment is an in-office procedure that typically only requires local anesthesia. Nevertheless, additional sedation options may be available if you have dental fears or anxiety. Before your procedure, our dental team will go over what you should expect throughout the procedure, whether you are being treated for gum disease, obtaining a dental biopsy, having your teeth lengthened, or undergoing aesthetic gum contouring. The laser minimizes bleeding and frequently omits the need for stitches.
What is recovery after laser gum treatment like?
Our dental team will provide you with home care instructions before you are discharged to leave. As your gums may be sore or swollen, you might want to adhere to a liquid or soft food diet for a few days. For gum disease treatment or crown lengthening, you may need to schedule another appointment so Our dental team can evaluate your progress and decide if another treatment is needed. If any area of the mouth was biopsied during the procedure, you may need to return to our office to get your results.
