To manage gum disease and protect smiles from long-term complications, including tooth loss, we could offer treatment with advanced technology. Dental lasers can help improve your gum health with precision and comfort! In today’s blog, your Brooklyn, NY, periodontist and dental implant expert talks about managing periodontal health with laser dentistry.
The Presence of Periodontal Disease
When should you see our team for periodontic treatment? Whenever you notice changes to your gums, this could be cause for concern and you should let us know. For example, if you have experienced soreness in your gums or they appear red, this could indicate inflammation and gingivitis. Swelling, recession that makes teeth appear longer, and bleeding when you brush and floss could mean serious inflammation or even the early stages of periodontal disease. Treatment to manage the issue helps prevent periodontitis, the stage of the disease linked to tooth loss! With laser dentistry, we can offer relief with comfort and precision.
The Dental Laser Systems
We offer the LANAP and REPAIR dental laser systems. These both use a concentrated beam of light that has been calibrated especially to handle soft tissue concerns. For people with periodontal disease, we can use them to gently trim away diseased tissues without damaging healthy ones, reshaping the gum line to ensure proper esthetics too. The technology also destroys pockets of harmful bacteria at the same time. The technology may be accompanied by a stream of water as well. These systems help reduce the risk of bleeding, infection, and swelling, and the lack of scalpels and sutures means treatment takes one visit and heals in as little as 24 to 48 hours.
Assisting with Dental Implant Placement
Our dental lasers can also assist with gum grafts and jawbone grafting, helping prepare your smile for dental implants. But we can also use the LAPIP system to aid in dental implant placement, helping the placement area to heal faster so you can return to your normal routine with one or more new teeth in a shorter time frame. Whether you have periodontal disease or missing teeth, we can help with advanced technology to strengthen your smile and improve your periodontal health.
