If you address problems with your periodontal health in time, you can avoid the kind of problems that call for visits with specialists. Unfortunately, many people will not tend to these issues until they need help managing periodontal disease. At its more advanced stage, a problem with your gum health can cause tissue damage that leads to tooth loss. You also have to worry about the movement of bacteria to other parts of your body, which can lead to general health consequences.
We rely on laser tools when performing work that affects your gum tissues. These tools help us work with greater accuracy than manual tools provide, so we can do a better job preserving your healthy periodontal tissues. Another benefit is that we can minimize bleeding while we care for you, and we can remove the need for suturing after care is completed.
These tools help with more than just active periodontal disease. We can also use these tools to help patients who need jawbone grafting treatment to qualify for dental implant placement. For patients worried about their receding gum line, we can provide treatment using the Pinhole Surgical Technique to make the experience less invasive and more comfortable.
Our office uses both the LANAP and the REPAIR WaterLase laser to provide periodontal services. Because we have different tools to choose from, we can more easily personalize your care. You should feel confident that any procedure recommended to you is planned around your needs and concerns as an individual. Our ability to recommend treatments with different tools, as well as our ability to make care less invasive, can help make you feel at ease in the dentist’s chair!
Periodontal care with lasers provides more comfortable experiences with treatment as well as shorter, easier recovery periods. If you would like to find out more about how we can take care of you, call Dr. Kania’s laser periodontal office in Encinitas/San Diego, CA, at (760) 642-0711.
