There is a benefit to scheduling prosthetic dental work soon after losing teeth. If you postpone treatment, a gradual loss of bone density can impact your jaw, leading to difficulties in placing a dental implant. Does this mean you will not be able to arrange the kind of restorative treatment that can permanently keep a prosthetic tooth in place? While you may not be a good candidate at present, you can improve your candidacy by undergoing a jawbone grafting treatment to address that tissue deterioration.
By using laser tools when we perform jawbone grafting treatment, we can help patients enjoy faster and easier recovery after their procedure. We can also provide a more conservative experience with care, as these tools provide greater precision as we work on soft tissues and bone. Because you can heal more quickly from this more conservative procedure, you can move on to have your dental implant placement in less time, which means you have a shorter wait to regain your complete smile!
Laser tools provide many advantages during different periodontal services. Their precision helps us protect your healthy tissues when we target problems with severe gum disease. When dealing directly with an infection, we can carefully remove unhealthy tissues and bacteria with greater accuracy and less bleeding, and we can even remove the need for suturing. We can also rely on lasers to provide a more conservative gum grafting procedure that will not require suturing to produce positive results.
Through the laser jawbone grafting treatment that we make available to patients, we can provide positive results for those who wish to qualify for treatment with dental implants.
