Laser-based treatments take advantage of sophisticated technology to provide a better patient experience. Because we use LANAP and WaterLase to remove unhealthy tissues, we can take care to only clear away those tissues that require attention. In addition to being more precise, lasers can reduce bleeding, and encourage faster healing.
The removal of unhealthy tissues can be an important step in your treatment for periodontal disease. Clearing away harmful tissues can lead to the growth of healthy gums, making it easier to defend your smile against the complications that can result from infected gum tissues.
If you are only familiar with gingivitis, you can be surprised at just how harmful periodontal disease can become. Your condition can be reversed if you have gingivitis; in fact, our practice provides preventive periodontal services to stop an infection from worsening to periodontal disease. If you already have this condition, also known as periodontitis, you can lose teeth due because of damages to tissues that support them. You can also experience a higher risk for other health problems, including a greater chance of experiencing heart disease!
In addition to helping patients remove unhealthy tissues, we can use PRP therapy to support healthy growth. We also provide treatments that allow you to fight harmful bacteria that are attacking your gums. For an in-office treatment, we can use ozone therapy to destroy harmful microbes while preserving healthy bacteria. We can also give you protection at home with Perio Protect, which gives you a custom tray and antimicrobial agents you can use to take care of your periodontal tissues on your own schedule.
WaterLase treatment and LANAP treatment use lasers to provide a precise, modern answer to problems with periodontal disease.
