Jawbone grafting is not necessary for every person interested in dental implant placement. Before that placement occurs, your jaw and oral structures will be closely studied to determine if you are a good candidate for this treatment. Dr. Kania can perform this review for you before scheduling your implant placement procedure. If jawbone deterioration has already occurred, it may be necessary to restore the bone through grafting.
Laser technology makes involved procedures like jawbone grafting more comfortable by preserving more of your healthy tissues, limiting bleeding, and removing the need for sutures after the procedure is done. These tools are capable of carefully revealing the bone beneath your tissues. In addition to using lasers that allow us to more comfortably work with soft tissues, we have hard tissue lasers that allow us to work with bone and teeth roots when performing your treatment. The more careful and conservative work made possible with laser tools can shorten your recovery time, making the time after treatment easier.
In addition to relying on lasers for jawbone and gum grafting procedures, we can use lasers to help manage active problems with periodontal disease. Both our LANAP and REPAIR WaterLase laser tools can precisely trim away damaged or diseased tissue and clear away bacteria on the roots of teeth. By performing this service, we can stimulate a recovery process that replaces damaged portions of your gums with healthy tissues!
At Dr. Kania’s periodontal practice, patients benefit from our use of laser technology when performing involved treatments like jawbone grafting.
