While gingivitis, the initial stage of an infection, can be reversed with proper hygiene. In fact, our practice can provide scaling and root planing treatment for patients who are trying to respond to this problem. When your infection progresses past this point, you can find yourself in need of more involved treatments that help you deal with infected tissues and bacteria buildup. If you have a more serious infection, treatments that use laser tools can make the procedure more comfortable and precise. This technology can also provide a shorter and easier recovery.
Through the use of different laser tools we have at our practice, we can directly target gum tissues that are in poor health. Through periodontal laser treatments, we are able to carefully access areas where harmful microbes are accumulated on the roots of teeth in order to remove them. We can also carefully tend to infected gums, which can start a healing process that grows healthy tissues. Because we have both the REPAIR WaterLase laser and the LANAP laser, we can offer a more personalized treatment for our patients.
During both jawbone grafting and gum grafting procedures, we can rely on laser technology to help our patients during treatment itself and recovery. These services can play valuable roles in managing your periodontal and dental health. Gum grafting can improve your smile, it can help with dental sensitivity related to exposed teeth roots, and it can help with your gum health. Jawbone grafting can occur before dental implant placement to help ensure that the process is a success.
When you start to learn about the positive impact of periodontal treatment with laser technology, you can find that this technology can have welcome benefits for individuals affected by poor gum health. We are happy to discuss this and other services provided at our practice with you.
