When periodontal disease becomes a problem, you should know that more than just your smile can be at risk. Through the spread of bacteria through your bloodstream, new problems with your well-being can occur, including potential problems with heart disease. Your condition can make it more difficult to manage other health conditions, and it can lead to tissue damage that can lead to the loss of teeth.
Problems with poor periodontal health can be addressed in different ways, which helps with the management of different degrees of trouble. While preventive services can reverse gingivitis or control periodontal disease in its early stages, there are more involved gum treatments with lasers that can help with a condition that is advanced.
With laser tools, we can provide a more accurate treatment, which means we can focus on the infection site and better protect your healthy gums when working to remove bacteria. During treatment, Dr. Kania will use these tools to access the roots of your teeth so that bacteria buildup can be removed. Your procedure can also lead to the removal of unhealthy tissues in order to encourage the new growth of healthy gums. Because this approach minimizes bleeding and reduces tissue damage, it is easier for you to have a faster and more comfortable recovery. This approach even removes the need for sutures to aid in your healing!
With laser tools, we can also provide better patient experiences when we perform jawbone grafting and gum grafting procedures. Through these services, we can address certain frustrating issues that can be linked to periodontal disease. A jawbone grafting treatment gives us the means to restore jawbone tissues and improve upon your ability to safely receive and support a dental implant. Through gum grafting treatments, we can improve your smile and periodontal health by addressing tissue recession.
With laser tools, we can provide a more comfortable experience both during and after treatment for advanced gum disease! If you would like to find out more, call Dr. Kania’s laser periodontal office in Encinitas/San Diego, CA, at (760) 642-0711.
