Dental lasers can allow our team to treat poor gum health, and to also aid in grafting and even treatment for sleep apnea! But what are the benefits of taking on poor oral health with this advanced technology? In today’s blog, your Encinitas/San Diego, CA, periodontist talks about the benefits of laser treatment, which can help provide stunning results in one visit with comfort and precision.
LANAP, REPAIR with WaterLase, and Fotona
Our team provides a number of different dental laser options, depending on the needs of our patients. All of these systems employ a concentrated beam of light, one that has been specially calibrated to specially handle soft tissue concerns, providing treatment in one visit with precision and accuracy. With options like LANAP and REPAIR, these systems are accompanied with gentle streams of water, and can be used to trim away diseased portions of your gums, reshaping the gum line. This can also provide cosmetic benefits for your smile.
With Fotona, we can use the technology to assist with gum grafts or even jawbone grafting, correcting issues like precision and even preparing your smile for dental implant placement. The technology can adjust the underlying bone structure too, aiding in the tooth replacement process. If you have sleep apnea, we can also use Fotona lasers to help make adjustments to soft tissues so you can breathe without interruption.
The Benefits of Perio Lasers
As we mentioned above, these can target areas with precision, which leaves underlying tissues intact. There is often little need for anesthesia, as these are a comfortable and minimally invasive way to address serious concerns with your gum health and even your ability to sleep well. The treated area can also heal quickly, so there is little risk of bleeding, infection, or swelling, and you may return to your normal routine after only a day or two of rest. We provide treatment without the need for scalpels or sutures too!
Safeguarding Your Smile
What happens following your treatment? Our team can then provide more holistic and preventive care to better manage the issue and keep your gums healthy and free of inflammation, such as routine cleanings every three to four months or even treatments like Ozone Therapy or special antimicrobial medications. If you have any questions about how we help you smile with confidence and avoid issues like tooth loss, then contact our team today. We want to help return your smile to optimal health, function, and beauty with our laser systems.
