When caught in time, an infection can be addressed with more conservative treatment options. If you are dealing with gingivitis, a careful periodontal cleaning can remove bacteria at the gum line and give you a chance to recover before periodontal disease becomes a serious concern. For patients who have more significant issues with poor gum health, a more involved procedure to address and clean periodontal pockets can be necessary. Because we can offer treatment using lasers, we can make this experience a better one for patients. To help us personalize care for our patients, we rely on different types of lasers. Our practice can use either our LANAP laser or the REPAIR WaterLase laser during treatment to fight the microbes responsible for your poor gum health.
With our LANAP and REPAIR WaterLase laser tools, we can more carefully and comfortably access areas where tartar deposits are present between gums and teeth roots. This approach is more conservative than care with manual tools, shortening your recovery time and making it easier for us to preserve surrounding healthy tissues. Lasers can also help to address infected gum tissues.
In addition to directly fighting periodontal disease with our laser tools, we can use this technology to help patients who need to arrange grafting procedures. Both gum grafting treatment and jawbone grafting treatment can be easier on patients when the right technology is involved.
Through our use of periodontal lasers, we can provide better treatment experiences for patients who are struggling with periodontal disease. Based on an evaluation of your health and current needs, we can determine if your condition warrants this kind of care. If it does, you can be happy to learn that we can offer a more conservative approach, one that offers more cosmetically pleasing results, removes the need for suturing, and boasts a shorter recovery period.
