We offer advanced laser treatment for periodontal disease to manage it and protect smiles from the onset of periodontitis, the late stage that is the number one cause of adult tooth loss. Periodontal disease starts with inflammation, also known as gingivitis. Without treatment to reverse inflammation, the gums eventually pull away from the teeth and form pockets for disease-causing bacteria to enter. You now have periodontal disease and need care to manage it, so your smile stays whole and you avoid painful symptoms, such as sore, red, and bleeding gums. Don’t ignore any changes to your gums, instead reach out to our team for treatment.
For the early stages, we can offer treatments like scaling and root planing, as well as holistic treatments like Ozone Therapy or Supportive Periodontal Maintenance. But as the disease reaches a more advanced state, we may need to bring in advanced technology. With dental laser systems such as LANAP and Repair with WaterLase, our team can gently trim away portions of the smile that are diseased. This allows healthy tissues to attach to the teeth and reduce the depth of periodontal pockets, so your smile is stronger and more attractive. The treatment usually only takes one visit, and you can return to your normal routine in as little as 24 to 48 hours.
Lasers can target areas with precision, which means there is no damage to healthy gums. The technology destroys harmful bacteria in the process, which also limits the risk of bleeding, swelling, and infection. Since there is no need for scalpels or sutures, the area heals faster too, as we mentioned above. If you have any questions about how our team can protect your gum health and keep your smile whole with laser technology, or if you would like to schedule a visit soon, then contact our team today. We want to help you enjoy a whole and healthy smile, and avoid discomfort in the process.
We’re happy to offer advanced technology to treat your gum issues and keep your smile strong, so you can enjoy a full and beautiful smile for years to come. To schedule your appointment and safeguard your smile, call Dr. Kania in Encinitas, CA, today at 760-642-0711.
