Procedures Offered
- LANAP (Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure): This advanced, minimally invasive laser treatment specifically targets and effectively removes infected gum tissue while simultaneously promoting the regeneration of healthy tissue. By utilizing laser technology, LANAP minimizes discomfort and recovery time, allowing patients to experience improved gum health with less downtime.
- Periodontal Regeneration (Guided Tissue Regeneration, Growth Factors): These innovative techniques are designed to encourage the regrowth of bone and tissue lost due to periodontal disease. By using guided tissue regeneration and natural growth factors, these methods create an optimal environment for healing of bone and other periodontal tissues. This ultimately provides a strong foundation for both natural teeth and dental implants while enhancing long-term oral health.
- Pocket Reduction Surgery: This surgical procedure is aimed at cleaning out and reducing periodontal pockets that can form between the teeth and gums. By thoroughly cleaning these pockets, the surgery helps prevent further infection and allows for easier maintenance of healthy gums, significantly improving overall gum health and reducing the risk of additional periodontal issues.
- Treatment for Bleeding Gums: A range of effective treatments is available to address bleeding gums, which is a common and concerning symptom of periodontal disease. These treatments aim not only to stop the bleeding but also focus on addressing the underlying causes, ensuring that patients achieve healthier gums and teeth, and reducing the likelihood of complications in the future.
