The Comfort Of Laser Dentistry

Dental lasers are an excellent way to offer care for gum disease, care that is effective, precise, and comfortable. Which is why we want to remind you that when you have sore and bleeding gums, we could help with this technology! In today’s blog, your Encinitas/San Diego, CA, periodontist talks about the comfort of soft-tissue dental lasers.

When Smiles Call for Dental Lasers

When do you need to make an appointment for periodontic care? You may need to see a periodontist when your gums show signs of trouble. For example, if they feel sore or appear red, or if they bleed easily or even recede, which makes teeth appear longer than usual, this could all be signs of trouble. You need care to manage your periodontal disease, reversing gingivitis or controlling periodontal disease to avoid issues like wisdom and even tooth loss. To offer care and management with precision and comfort, we can employ dental laser systems, including Fotona, LANAP, and REPAIR with WaterLase.

The Comfort This Technology Offers

Dental lasers mean we can take on your periodontic concerns with precision and comfort. The soft-tissue technology can target portions of the gums that require removal, and leave healthy tissues intact. We can remove diseased portions so healthy tissues can attach to the teeth and reduce the depth of periodontal pockets. The technology also destroys harmful bacteria in the process. Our team can reshape the gum line for better health and esthetics. The lack of scalpels and sutures means the treatment takes one visit and will heal quickly, limiting the risk of complications like infection, swelling, and bleeding.

Other Benefits

Laser dentistry can also help aid in gum grafting and even jawbone grafting, so you can obtain the care needed to manage disease and even address tooth loss with dental implants, and also ensure the treated area heals quickly. The technology can also aid in treating sleep apnea and even improve facial beauty!
