People who fail to take issues with gum disease seriously are vulnerable to significant issues. As time passes, your infection can progress, which makes managing it and preventing complications more difficult. What those complications include can surprise you. Trouble with tooth loss, problems with your general health, and the formation of significant periodontal pockets can impact you. To control problems with periodontal disease, more involved treatment becomes necessary. Our practice can make your experiences with care and recovery better by using laser technology when offering you support.
Both our PerioLase laser and REPAIR WaterLase laser tools are effective for treating patients struggling with periodontal disease. With this technology, we have the means to more carefully treat infections by removing unhealthy tissues and the bacteria that have gathered on the roots of your teeth. This approach limits tissue damage as well as bleeding, which can make you more comfortable and make suturing unnecessary to encourage proper healing. After your procedure, you can heal more easily and face a lower infection risk, which means you can have a more positive experience after you leave our practice!
Lasers help us make grafting procedures easier for our patients, too. A gum grafting procedure that uses lasers can conservatively reshape your gumline to improve your appearance and oral health. We can remove the need for suturing during this procedure just as we are able to remove it when you come in to have an active infection addressed. For patients interested in implant dentistry, we can use lasers during jawbone grafting treatment to shorten recovery times and improve your chances for successful care, which means you can move forward with the restoration of your complete smile in less time.
By using the right technology, we can make experiences with treatment easier for our patients, even when they require more involved care to control periodontal disease. If you would like to learn more, call Dr. Kania’s laser periodontal office in Encinitas/San Diego, CA, at (760) 642-0711.
