The Benefits Of Periodontal Laser Treatment

If you have periodontal disease, you need treatment to help avoid the advanced stages, which could lead to tooth loss unless managed. We can offer this care with advanced laser dentistry. In today’s blog, Dr. Ann Kania talks about the benefits of managing periodontal disease with advanced laser technology! With this technology, we can provide care with precision and comfort, and also tackle other issues like tooth loss and even sleep apnea.

Signs You Need Laser Dentistry

When should you contact our team about periodontal treatment? We may suggest laser treatment for people exhibiting the common warning signs, such as sore, red, and bleeding gums. You could also notice recession in your gums, which makes teeth appear longer. You need treatment to avoid the onset of the periodontitis stage, which is linked to worsening symptoms and even adult tooth loss. Fortunately, we can offer help with laser dentistry.

The Treatment Process

With dental lasers, we can gently trim away the diseased portions of the gums and in the process reshape the gum line. We want to ensure proper symmetry and an attractive smile. At the same time, the technology can destroy harmful disease-causing bacteria, which helps control inflammation. Along with treating periodontal disease, we could use the technology to aid in gum grafts to treat recession, or to even assist jawbone grafting to prepare smiles for dental implant placement. We could also adjust the size of soft tissues to treat sleep apnea so you rest easier, and to help ease common signs of aging for a more youthful appearance.

The Benefits

The technology is comfortable and rarely requires the use of anesthesia as a result. We can make these changes to your smile in only one visit, and since we don’t need scalpels or sutures, the area heals quickly. This also lowers the risk of complications like sores, swelling, infection, and bleeding. You enjoy fast and effective treatment with precision and accuracy. Our team can also aid in replacing missing teeth with implant dentistry, so we can control the disease and help ensure your smile stays full and beautiful for years to come!
