Comfortable Periodontal Treatment With Lasers

We offer periodontic care for our patients and their smiles to help manage gum disease and prevent long-term risks, such as tooth loss. For a comfortable and precise treatment, we can offer dental laser systems. In today’s blog, Dr. Ann Kania talks about comfortable laser treatment for Encinitas/San Diego, CA, patients.

The Need for Treatment

When we see patients with a more severe case of periodontal disease, the kind that requires more than a scaling and root planing to address, we can help with a comfortable dental laser treatment. No need for scalpels and sutures at all. This enables us to target specific areas of the gums, and to remove diseased portions and destroy harmful bacteria at once. We can take care to reshape your gum line as we remove these tissues too! In addition to treating disease directly, we can use the technology to assist with gum grafts to address receding tissues, or with jawbone grafting to prepare smiles to support one or more dental implants. The same technology also offers a comfortable way to treat sleep apnea and even improve facial esthetics.

A Comfortable Experience and Other Benefits

The lasers ensure a comfortable process, one that rarely requires the use of anesthesia or sedation. The technology targets areas with precision to prevent any injuries to healthy gums, and at the same time destroys bacteria to help prevent inflammation. The procedure will only require one visit to complete, and the technology helps lower the risk of bleeding, swelling, and infection. The treated areas tend to heal quickly too, so you could return to your regular routine in a short time frame, as little as a day or two. The results will also be immediately visible!

Managing Periodontal Disease

The dental laser systems offer a comfortable and effective way to address gum disease and bring more severe stages into a manageable state. Afterward, we want to offer care to properly manage the issue and protect the smile. With options like a routine cleaning every three to four months, antimicrobial mediations, or even Ozone Therapy, we can control inflammation and keep the issue in check, so you avoid tooth loss.
