In time, a problem with periodontal disease can cause you to lose teeth, it can interfere with your general health, and it can even make addressing tooth loss more difficult. The initial stage of an infection, gingivitis, can be managed through preventive care – in fact, Dr. Kania can provide preventive services for patients worried about their gums. However, a more serious problem can make more involved care necessary if you want to avoid complications. At a consultation, we can speak to you about your condition and what it might take to effectively manage it. When called for, we can recommend services that use lasers to fight infections and encourage the growth of healthy tissues.
Through the use of laser technology, our practice can manipulate soft tissues and even the harder tissues that surround your teeth. We can perform beneficial services that remove harmful microbes that are accumulating on your roots, and we can encourage healthy tissue growth by removing damaged areas of your gums.
The Pinhole Surgical Technique enables us to perform a gum grafting procedure with laser tools, and without the need for suturing. By providing this care, we can address tissue recession – an unsightly issue often connected to periodontal disease – and improve your appearance and health. A jawbone grafting treatment performed with laser technology can help someone who is trying to qualify for prosthetic work with dental implants.
How worried should you be about your issues with periodontal disease? If your condition has progressed beyond the stage of gingivitis, you should look into what your treatment options are before you start to endure alarming complications. Dr. Kania can work with you to restore the health of your gums, and she can also use laser technology to perform grafting treatments that improve your smile and make prosthetic dental work easier to arrange. To find out more, please call Dr. Kania’s laser periodontal office in Encinitas/San Diego, CA, at (760) 642-0711.
