A soft tissue laser can target specific areas of your smile with better precision than scalpels. The technology also rarely requires the use of anesthesia either. These systems also help destroy harmful bacteria as part of the treatment process, and lower the risk of bleeding, swelling, and infection afterward too. The treated areas tend to heal quickly as well. Your results are visible same-day, and you can usually return to your normal routine after a day or two of rest.
With LANAP, REPAIR with WaterLase, and Fotona systems, we can gently trim away the diseased portions of your gums so that we can manage periodontal disease with preventive actions moving forward. Our team can also use the technology to aid in gum and jawbone grafting, and to even assist with dental implant placement. Our Fotona systems have also been used to help address sleep apnea without surgery, and to help improve overall fascial esthetics, hiding common signs of aging. As you can see, they offer our patients a host of benefits, from managing gum disease and avoiding tooth loss, to ensuring you enjoy more youthful facial features.
Following your periodontal treatment, we will likely offer preventive and holistic treatments to better manage gum disease and avoid the risk of serious inflammation and periodontitis, the stage linked to tooth loss. Our team will recommend Supportive Periodontal Maintenance every three to four months to manage the disease by removing plaque and tartar buildup. We also help control buildup with Ozone Therapy and antimicrobial medications as well. You don’t have to live with discomfort in your gums, or the risk of tooth loss. Instead, we can help!
