The Benefits Of Treatment With Laser Dentistry

Did you know that we offer advanced dental lasers, which can help treat periodontal disease and even aid in grafting procedures with precision and accuracy? In fact, this can help you avoid issues like tooth loss down the road! In today’s blog, your Encinitas/San Diego, CA, periodontist talks about the benefits of laser dentistry and how we can transform the appearance and health of your gums!

Dental Lasers

With systems like LANAP and REPAIR with Waterlase, we can use a concentrated beam of light to take on soft tissue concerns with your smile. The lasers can target areas with precision and avoid damaging healthy gum tissues. The technology can also destroy harmful bacteria in the process, which helps us manage the issue moving forward. The procedure is comfortable and in fact, rarely requires the use of anesthesia. The system also helps reduce the risk of bleeding, infection, and swelling, and the area heals quickly. Most people return to their normal routine in as little as 24 hours.

Managing Gum Disease

Our team can use the technology to trim away the diseased portions of your gums, which can then allow healthy gums to attach to the teeth and reduce the depth of periodontal pockets. We can then manage the disease moving forward with preventive and holistic treatments, like Supportive Periodontal Maintenance, ozone therapy, and antimicrobial medications.

Jawbone and Gum Grafting

What about procedures like jawbone and gum grafting? Jawbone grafting can help strengthen the lower jaw so your smile can support dental implants, addressing your tooth loss. The technology can help adjust the underlying bone and gum tissues to repair your smile. With gum grafting, we want to cover the exposed portions of roots that occur following gum recession. Our team can use the Pinhole Surgical Technique to offer a more conservative approach, using lasers to make a pinhole in the gums so we can manipulate them and cover the teeth, reshaping the gum line.

If you have any questions about how our team will manage your periodontal health and offer a more attractive smile with dental lasers, or if you have sore, red gums that need attention, then contact our team today. We want to help you smile with confidence and avoid complications like tooth loss and that starts with periodontal treatment using our advanced dental lasers.
