It is important to ascertain how serious a person’s periodontal troubles are before committing to treatment. If periodontal disease has already started to cause permanent tissue damage, the right treatment option can involve the careful removal of infection tissues. If left unchecked, an infection can eventually destroy enough tissues supporting teeth to cause losses. Bacteria attacking your gums can also lead to health complications when these microbes are able move to different parts of your body.
We use LANAP and REPAIR periodontal laser treatments when helping patients deal with advanced periodontal infection. Having different options for your treatment can help us make the work you undergo as precise as possible. That precision helps you by protecting those portions of your gums that are still healthy, and by limiting bleeding. While manual periodontal procedures can require sutures, work with lasers can make suturing unnecessary.
In addition to using lasers for directly dealing with diseased gums, our practice can rely on lasers when manipulating tissues as part of a grafting procedure. This means that we can make your experience with jawbone grafting and gum grafting easier, and shortening recovery times. The restoration of gum tissues and bone tissues can be valuable to your recovery from poor periodontal health, and it can be necessary before arranging dental implant placement to address tooth loss.
