Laser dentistry provides a way to manage your oral health issues and provide better smiles. We can treat periodontal disease and prevent the advanced stages linked to tooth loss, reshape your gums for better esthetics, and even ease sleep apnea and common signs of aging! In today’s blog, Dr. Ann Kania talks about the multiple benefits of dental lasers, from helping you smile with confidence to enjoying a good night’s rest!
Treatment for Periodontal Disease
Periodontal disease could mean sore, red, and bleeding gums. Without treatment to manage it, the periodontitis stage could occur that causes tooth loss. To avoid this, we want to manage the issue with advanced laser dentistry. With a soft tissue option, we can gently remove the infected and diseased portions of the gums and reshape the gum line in the process, so you have a healthier and more attractive smile. This takes one visit and you can return to your normal routine after a day or two of rest. We can then manage the issues with preventive treatments moving forward, such as cleanings every three to four months.
Tackling Sleep Apnea
If you have sleep apnea, then that means as you rest at night, the soft tissues in the back of your mouth and throat collapse and block airflow. You stop breathing for a brief period, and this could interrupt your REM sleep, happening hundreds of times a night! This leaves you exhausted and could even strain your immune system and heart health. But we can help with a soft tissue laser! Our team can use the technology to shrink tissues and reshape them as needed to prevent the collapse of soft tissues while you sleep, so you can breathe without interruption all night long. No need for a CPAP machine!
Improving Facial Beauty
Did you know the same advanced and comfortable systems can take on cosmetic concerns easily too? For example, if you have a smile that shows off too much gum tissue, we can remove these excess tissues and then reshape the gums in the process to boost overall smile beauty. The same technology can also help limit the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. If you have any questions about how we boost smile beauty, then contact our team today to learn more. We can also help boost the health and function of your smile, and control disease to prevent the onset of tooth loss.
