If advanced periodontal disease is not addressed properly, it can take a serious toll on your smile, and it can put your general health in jeopardy. Other problems that impact your well-being, like diabetes, can become harder for you to manage if you have gum disease. You can also face a higher risk from heart disease because of your infection! Another concern is tooth loss, as bacteria can destroy the tissues that are holding teeth in place. To protect you against these potentially severe consequences, we may recommend laser periodontal services. With our LANAP laser or the REPAIR WaterLase laser, we can carefully remove diseased gums and destroy the bacteria that are responsible for your infection.
We can fight harmful periodontal bacteria without affecting helpful bacteria that support your mouth’s ecosystem through the use of oxygen. Ozone therapy can apply oxygen directly in liquid or gas form to remove the microbes that are causing difficulties for your well-being. This can help control an infection while sustaining the right oral ecosystem, and it preserves your tissues.
Through PRP therapy, we can tend to a potentially serious problem connected to periodontal disease – tissue damage. This procedure relies on platelet-rich plasma to speed up healthy, natural growth processes. For patients who are undergoing work to restore their full smile after tooth loss, we may recommend PRF therapy to hasten the recovery of jawbone tissues after implant placement so that you can complete work to replace missing teeth with dental implant-held restorations.
The effects of gum disease can be serious, and should not be written off – if you do not do enough to protect yourself, you can experience tooth loss and worrying general health difficulties! At our practice, we can discuss different services that provide different benefits so that you can recover and regain your healthy, confident smile. If you have questions about a particular service, if you want to review multiple treatment options, or if you want to determine how preventive care can help you, let us know!
