Why Your Gum Disease May Call For Advanced Care

When you think about gum disease and its effects, you may focus too much on aspects of gingivitis. Gingivitis is the first stage of an infection, something a general dentist can identify and help you address before there are complications. Over time, bacteria can continue to spread and cause harm to the tissues that support teeth. That can lead to the loss of support for your teeth, and it can make you vulnerable to new health issues as microbes enter the bloodstream and move to new areas. Our Encinitas/San Diego, CA periodontal practice can help you with a more advanced infection. We can even use laser technology to make your periodontal treatment experience easier! (more…)

Using Lasers To Remove Infected Gum Tissues

The accumulation of bacteria under your gumline can become a problem for more than just your periodontal health. The gums and connective tissues that become infected are damaged over time, which leads to a lack of support and eventually the losses of those teeth in affected areas. Harmful microbes that enter the bloodstream can create new problems for your health, and make existing issues more difficult to manage. There are different services that help patients control problems with periodontal disease. For those who have unhealthy and damaged tissues from a more severe infection, our Encinitas/San Diego, CA periodontal practice can offer help through the use of laser periodontal treatments. By relying on advanced tools, we can provide protection and help you avoid potentially severe complications from your condition! (more…)

Laser Jawbone Grafting And Implant Dentistry

Through implant dentistry, people who have suffered from tooth loss can regain their complete, confident smiles. Unfortunately, there are issues that can interfere with a patient’s eligibility for treatment. One concern is over the loss of density in your jaw; as time passes, the absence of stimulation in the bone from teeth roots can lead to deterioration. At our Encinitas/San Diego, CA periodontal office, we are here to help people with incomplete smiles progress through different stages of prosthetic support. In addition to discussing implant placement with you, we can recommend jawbone grafting treatment with laser tools in order to improve your ability to successfully undergo care. (more…)

Healing After Your Laser Gum Treatment

When it comes to the right experience with periodontal care, you should think about more than just what to expect during the treatment itself. When you need more involved services to take on gum disease, you can benefit from both the removal of bacteria from your roots and the removal of infected tissues. By using lasers to provide this care, our Encinitas/San Diego, CA periodontal practice can make your recovery from this experience shorter and easier. Lasers limit bleeding, remove the need for suturing, and generally promote safer and faster recovery! These tools help with more than just care for active infections, as they can also be used when performing grafting services. (more…)

How Technology Affects Gum Disease Treatment

When it is not addressed, gum disease can take a significant toll on your health and quality of life. After all, problems with periodontal health lead all other causes when it comes to tooth loss, and the bacteria gathering on your roots can make problems for you when they move to other parts of the body. In addition to providing important information on your well-being, your Encinitas/San Diego, CA periodontist can provide care for you that addresses potentially significant gum disease. By using laser tools to care for you, we can make the procedure itself more comfortable and accurate, and we can offer a faster recovery after treatment ends. (more…)
