For periodontal treatment: Scaling and root planing is performed under local anesthesia to remove tartar and bacteria below the gum line.
Post-procedure instructions are provided, and follow-up appointments are scheduled to monitor healing.
Laser contouring: 1-3 days of mild tenderness. Surgical procedures: 1-2 weeks for initial healing. Gum grafting: 2-3 weeks for full recovery.

Laser techniques generally result in less bleeding and faster healing than scalpel-based methods. BeeLink only partners with board-certified specialists at internationally accredited facilities, ensuring the highest safety standards.
