When you have periodontal disease, even the advanced stage of periodontitis, we can offer treatment to manage it and protect your smile’s stability. With laser dentistry, we can provide this treatment with precision and accuracy. In today’s blog, your Brooklyn, NY, periodontist and implant expert talks about how we treat smiles with dental lasers to manage gum health and avoid tooth loss.
The Presence of Periodontal Disease
When should you contact our team for periodontic treatment? You may be referred to us by your general dentist or orthodontist, but you can make an appointment yourself when you notice any changes to your gums. For example, sudden redness, soreness, swelling, or bleeding when you brush and floss are all signs that you need periodontic care. You could also experience recession as the gums pull away from the teeth, which makes teeth appear longer than usual. Our team will examine your smile with advanced digital imaging technology to assess the cause and extent of your disease, so we can choose the best treatment option.
Our Dental Laser Systems
Often, we can take on more advanced cases of gingivitis and gum disease with laser dentistry. The use of this advanced technology provides care with precision and accuracy, allowing us to target specific portions of your smile while leaving healthy tissues intact. We can offer options like LANAP and Waterlase® REPAIR to remove diseased portions of the gums and reshape the gum line, so we can manage the disease and also make cosmetic improvements to your smile. The technology lowers the risk of bleeding, swelling, and infection, and allows the treated areas to heal quickly. In fact, you may return to your normal routine in as little as 24 to 48 hours. We also have the LAPIP laser system, which is designed to aid in dental implant placement and help address failing implants to keep your new teeth in place.
Managing Your Disease
Following treatment with our dental lasers, we can suggest supportive treatments to manage the disease. These are often preventive in nature, such as cleanings, Supportive Periodontal Maintenance, and the use of certain medications and therapies. If you have any questions about how our team will treat and manage your disease to keep your smile full and healthy, then contact our team today. We want to help your smile with safe, precise, and comfortable advanced dentistry.
