When you have a more advanced stage of gum disease, you may need more than a deep cleaning to manage the issue and protect your smile. With advanced laser technology, our team can manage the issue and keep your smile whole! In today’s blog, your Brooklyn, NY, periodontist and implant expert talks about our laser services.
The Presence of Periodontal Disease
According to studies from the Centers for Disease Control, half of adults over the age of 30 suffer from some stage of periodontal disease. Without treatment, this could cause major discomfort and even lead to tooth loss. Wanerign signs often include sore, red gums that bled easily. As the disease grows in severity, you could also experience swelling or even recession that makes teeth appear long and uneven. When you experience one or more of these potential symptoms, we hope you will reach out to our team for treatment. We will conduct a detailed examination with CT scanning technology and digital x-rays, so we can assess the presence of the disease and any underlying damage to your gums or bone structure. We could then offer relief with dental laser technology, which offers treatment in one visit and a faster healing period, you could even return to your normal routine after just 24 hours.
Our Laser Services
We have multiple systems that use lasers specially calibrated to handle soft issue concerns. These can target gums with precision to avoid damaging healthy structures, and they lower the risk of bleeding, swelling, and infection afterward. With the LANAP protocol, we use the technology to gently remove the diseased portions of the gums so healthy structures can attach to the teeth. The WaterLase® REPAIR system uses them to remove diseased portions of the gums to aid in the healing process. We could then use treatments like Platelet Rich Plasma to help facilitate a fast healing period.
We can use this technology to aid in tooth replacement with dental implants too! With the LAPIP system we use them to help preserve failing dental implants to ensure your new teeth can continue to offer decades of quality tooth replacement. This also destroys the harmful bacteria behind periodontal disease so the disease is more manageable moving forward. If you have any questions about how we preserve and protect your smile with safe and gentle dental lasers, then contact our team today to learn more.
