Gentle & Effective Gum Disease Treatment in Phoenix
Periodontics is that specialty of dentistry that encompasses the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the supporting and surrounding tissues of the teeth. This includes crowns, implants, or other substitutes and the maintenance of the health, function and aesthetics of all of the structures and tissues.
Maintaining Oral Health: The Role of Professional Cleanings
Professional dental cleanings are necessary at least twice each year to maintain good oral health. Many people require a routine cleaning three or four times a year due to buildup of plaque and tartar.
Understanding Periodontal (Gum) Disease
If you have been told you have periodontal (gum) disease, you’re not alone. An estimated 80 percent of American adults currently have some form of the disease.
Periodontal diseases range from simple gum inflammation to serious diseases that result in major damage to the soft tissue and bone that support the teeth. In the worst cases, teeth are lost.
Gum disease is a threat to your oral health. Research also points to possible health effects of periodontal diseases that go well beyond your mouth (more about this later).
Whether it is stopped, slowed, or gets worse depends on how well you care for your teeth and gums every day.
What to Expect During Laser Periodontal Therapy:
Laser periodontal therapy is a comfortable and effective way to treat gum disease. Here's a breakdown of the process:
Thorough Gum Evaluation
We begin with a detailed examination to assess your gum health and create a personalized treatment plan.
Precise Laser Treatment
Using a gentle dental laser, we carefully remove infected tissue and bacteria from your gums, while protecting healthy tissue.
Stimulating Gum Healing
The laser helps promote the natural regeneration of healthy gum tissue and encourages the reattachment of gums to your teeth.
Ongoing Gum Health Monitoring
We'll schedule follow-up appointments to track your healing progress and ensure your gums remain healthy long-term.
Experience the Advantages of Laser Periodontal Therapy:
Choosing laser periodontal therapy offers significant benefits for those seeking effective gum disease treatment.
Greater Comfort
Laser therapy significantly reduces pain and discomfort compared to traditional surgery, often requiring minimal anesthesia.
Reduced Trauma
The laser's precision minimizes bleeding and swelling, leading to a less invasive treatment experience.
Faster Recovery
Patients experience quicker healing times due to the minimally invasive nature of laser periodontal therapy.
Targeted Bacteria Removal
Lasers effectively eliminate bacteria and infected tissue, halting gum disease progression.
Stimulated Tissue Regeneration
Laser energy promotes healthy gum tissue regrowth and reattachment to teeth.
Who Benefits from Laser Periodontal Therapy?
Laser periodontal therapy is an excellent option for a wide range of patients, particularly those seeking a less invasive approach to gum disease treatment. Ideal candidates often include individuals with moderate to severe periodontal disease who require more intensive care beyond basic cleanings. Those who prioritize minimal discomfort and quicker recovery times, avoiding traditional surgical methods, are also well-suited. Additionally, patients who value cutting-edge dental technology and efficient, effective treatment will find laser therapy highly advantageous. If you're experiencing signs of gum disease or are simply looking for the most advanced periodontal care, laser therapy could be the perfect solution.
