Periodontal disease leads to severe tissue damage, which makes a person more likely to lose teeth over time. Different treatments can control the spread of bacteria even when a person’s periodontal disease is serious. One helpful procedure involves the removal of infected periodontal tissues – by performing this removal, your body can start growing healthy tissues to replace what you have lost. Thanks to laser technology, we can avoid damaging healthy tissues in the process of removing diseased areas, and we can work to ensure your time after work is done is more pleasant!
With manual tools, procedures that require the manipulation of periodontal tissues, including jawbone grafting and gum grafting procedures, require sutures to close cuts from a scalpel. Laser treatments remove the need for suturing. Because these tools are more precise and do less damage, they also minimize any bleeding that occurs throughout their care. Treatments to restore your periodontal health have long-term advantages, but your experience after work is done is just one aspect of your care that deserves concern. Lasers can help make sure that you also have a better experience while you are being worked on.
In addition to causing less bleeding and removing the need to place sutures, more precise work can be done with lasers. Ultimately, this can make it easier for a person to recover after work has been performed. In addition to making your time after treatment more pleasant, you can see cosmetic benefits from work that utilized lasers.
