However, there are also times when people impacted by periodontal disease need to find out what they can do to manage severe problems that have already affected them. At our Encinitas/San Diego, CA periodontal office, we provide different treatment options to help those who are struggling to manage their condition. In fact, we can even use different laser tools to make sure that the right results are achieved.

Conservative Gum Grafting With Laser Tools
A gum grafting procedure can be important for several reasons. It can restore your appearance when periodontal disease causes tissue recession, it can cover naturally sensitive areas of your teeth, and it can help you maintain the health of your gums. When performed with manual tools, this procedure can require suturing and a longer or more uncomfortable recovery period, but laser technology can improve your experience.

In addition to making suturing unnecessary, this can reduce bleeding, lower the infection risk after treatment, and generally improve your recovery experience. (more…)
