Laser treatment for gum disease

There are many benefits to using a laser treatment for gum disease as a periodontal action.

Periodontal disease ranges from mild gum inflammation to severe disease, including cases where teeth are lost. But even in a relatively mild gum inflammation, the result can be damage to the gum tissue as well as the bone that supports the teeth.

Past methods of battling gum disease often involved cutting, bleeding, stitches, bandages, and long periods of eating only soft foods, as well as the inevitable loss of healthy gum tissue along with the unhealthy tissue you were trying to eliminate.

While dental implants and dentures are certainly viable treatment options for periodontal disease, it is possible in many cases to avoid them by having practically pain-free laser gum surgery.

Today, dental technology is advancing rapidly to treat gum disease, and laser treatment for gum disease does away with many of these unpleasantries.

Dr. Greenspan is part of the vanguard in the use of advanced dental laser as an additional tool which allows for a thorough gum disease treatment to deal with the inflammation.

Benefits of laser treatment for gum disease includes faster healing because of minimally invasive treatments; little gum line recession, because unlike previous treatment options, laser surgery does not reduce your gum line; long-term results, as people who practice good oral hygiene are likely to enjoy permanent results from laser gum surgery; minimal discomfort, with pain medications rarely necessary or prescribed after laser treatments; helps preserve natural teeth.; promotes new bone growth as laser surgery is known to promote the regeneration of bone around teeth. And a shorter recovery, with most people able to return to daily activities immediately after laser surgery.

With outstanding care from a highly qualified dentist like Dr. Ari Greenspan, laser treatment for gum disease can be an effective option for getting the care you need in order to avoid serious health consequences.
