You could develop periodontal disease due to factors that cause plaque buildup, such as improper brushing and flossing, or a diet high in sugar and starch. When plaque buildup coats your teeth, these layers can irritate and inflame the gum tissues, which causes gingivitis and eventually, disease. Other factors could include tobacco use, inflammatory illnesses, certain medications, and a family history of poor gum health. You may notice symptoms like sore, red, and bleeding gums, or gums receding from your teeth. When these symptoms arise, reach out to our team right away so we can offer treatment with advanced laser dentistry.
The soft tissue system employs a concentrated beam of light that is specially calibrated for soft tissue use. The system can target portions of your smile with precision to prevent damage to healthy gums. In addition, the procedure doesn’t use scalpels or sutures, so the procedure takes one visit and heals quickly. Some people return to their normal routines in as little as 24 hours. The use of a laser also destroys harmful bacteria, decreasing the risk of bleeding, dwelling, and infection afterward. The procedure is also comfortable and rarely calls for dental anesthesia.
We could use the LANAP procedure to gently trim away the diseased portions of the gums so that healthy tissues can attach to the teeth, which reduces the depth of periodontal pockets and makes the disease more manageable. With REPAIR with WaterLase, we can trim away tissue and reshape the gum Iine, and the technology is accompanied by a steady stream of gently running water. We can reshape the gum line to improve smile beauty. Following the procedure, our team can offer holistic preventive treatments to manage it, such as Supportive Periodontal Maintenance, Ozone Therapy, and more.
