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.
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!
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.
Our team is ready to offer a precise, comfortable, and effective way to boost gum health. To learn more about how we improve the health and appearance of your smile, call Dr. Ann Kania in Encinitas, CA, today at 760-642-0711.
