A Minimally Invasive Solution for Gum Disease
Experience the Difference With Laser Dentistry
If you dread the thought of dental surgery or fear the pain, lengthy recovery times, and the potential complications associated with traditional gum treatments, we have the solution to calm your concerns. That's why we offer a revolutionary alternative: laser dentistry, a gentle, minimally invasive approach to periodontal care that can transform your experience and your smile.
What is LANAP Laser Dentistry?
Traditional treatments for gum disease can be invasive and uncomfortable. But there's a better way. LANAP is a less invasive procedure that can effectively target the root cause of gum disease. Unlike traditional gum surgery, which usually involves cutting and suturing, our laser dentistry in Medford uses a specialized laser to target and remove your diseased tissue while leaving healthy tissue intact. This promotes your natural healing and encourages the regeneration of lost bone and gum tissue, resulting in healthier gums and a stronger foundation for your teeth.
Are You a Candidate for This Treatment?
- Have been diagnosed with periodontal disease
- Fear traditional dental surgery
- Have medical conditions that make surgery risky
- Want a quicker, less painful recovery
- Prefer to preserve their natural gum and bone structure
What Happens During This Procedure?
Evaluation and Anesthesia: We’ll first conduct a thorough evaluation to assess the extent of your gum disease. We’ll then apply local anesthesia to keep you comfortable throughout the procedure.
Laser Treatment: The PerioLase laser is then used to remove the infected tissue from around the tooth root. This step also disinfects the area, eliminating bacteria and creating an optimal environment for healing.
Cleaning and Scaling: Once the diseased tissue is removed, the root surfaces are cleaned and smoothed to discourage future bacterial colonization.
Laser Stimulation: The laser is again used to create a blood clot that seals the area and stimulates the regeneration of the attachment between the gums and the teeth.
Healing and Recovery: Since the procedure is minimally invasive, patients typically experience less bleeding, swelling, and discomfort than with traditional gum surgery, and recovery is often quicker.
