Gum correction surgery with laser. Medically accurate tooth 3D illustration
When you develop periodontal disease and the issue is not treated or managed in a timely manner, this could allow it to grow in severity. You could eventually develop the advanced state known as periodontitis, which could destroy the connective tissues between your teeth and gums to cause tooth loss. In the meantime, you also deal with uncomfortable symptoms, such as sore and bleeding gums, or even recession that makes your teeth look longer or uneven. To avoid these impacts and keep your smile whole, our team is proud to offer the LANAP system, using dental lasers to protect your smile.
With the LANAP system, our team will use a soft tissue laser that has been specially calibrated for soft tissue use. The technology enables our team to gently trim away the diseased portions of your gums, which enables healthy ones to attach to the teeth and reduce the depth of periodontal pockets, so we can easily manage it with preventive and holistic treatments moving forward. The technology also destroys pockets of harmful oral bacteria from beneath the gum line, which helps control inflammation and prevent periodontitis. The treatment usually only takes a single visit to complete, and you often return to your normal routine after 24 to 48 hours of rest.
Following your treatment, our team will suggest a cleaning or Supportive Periodontal Maintenance every three to four months to control buildup and inflammation. We also have holistic treatments like Ozone Therapy and antimicrobial medications. These can help manage the issue so you enjoy an attractive smile and avoid issues like tooth loss. If you have any questions about how we can keep your smile whole and fight gum disease with the LANAp system, or if you would like to schedule a visit, then contact our team today to get started.
Our team wants to help you enjoy a healthier smile, and one that looks great too. With dental lasers, we can offer care with precision and comfort, rarely even requiring the use of anesthesia! To learn more about the treatments and technology we offer our patients to keep their gums strong, call Dr. Ann Kania in Encinitas, CA, today at 760-642-0711.
