Gum Health Affects Your Overall Health

Periodontal (Gum) disease is not only the leading cause of tooth loss, but also has been show to raise the risk factor for several potential health issues including stroke and heart disease.

Laser Periodontal Dentistry

To minimize patient discomfort and maximize effectiveness, our specialists utilize the most advanced LANAP® laser technology available. The PerioLase® Nd:YAG laser delivers gentle pulses of light to effectively root out and kill the damaging bacteria hidden between teeth and gums. While traditional scalpel (blade) surgery can harm healthy gum tissue, LANAP® focuses precisely on the diseased tissue leaving healthy tissue unharmed. The result is a more relaxing patient experience with faster healing.

Benefits of Laser Gum Disease Treatment


Precision
Our precision dental laser in the hands of our highly experienced clinicians is able to accurately target and remove harmful bacteria without causing damage to healthy gum tissue.

Fast Recovery
Since there is no cutting and little to no post-operative inflammation, our patients experience a much faster healing period and often do not need pain medication.

Minimal Gum Recession
Gum recession is commonly an unavoidable result of traditional surgery because the scalpel cuts away at the gum line. Laser gum surgery never harms healthy tissue, which means there is little to no gum recession.

Stronger Support
Laser gum surgery is scientifically proven to generate new bone growth in the jaw, leading to added support for existing teeth.

Gum Tissue Grafts

Gum tissue grafts turn a receding gumline into a healthy gumline. As your gums recede, the root surfaces of your teeth become unprotected and exposed to damage. By taking soft tissue from areas in the mouth and attaching it to the receding gums, our specialized periodontal team helps patients support existing teeth for a healthier smile. We also provide cosmetic tissue grafts to create a more naturally contoured gumline for teeth that appear misshaped or excessively long.

Benefits of Gum Tissue Grafts


Regenerate Bone Growth
Gum tissue grafts have been shown to not only provide for long-term tooth protection, but also to regenerate bone growth.

Dependable Root Coverage
Exposed roots lead to pain and serious issues for the involved tooth. Full coverage with gum tissue prevents the opportunity for root exposure and future damage in the treated area.

Healthy Gumline
Gum issues often have both health and aesthetic consequences. Gum tissue grafts create a healthy and protective gumline while also improving the overall appearance of teeth that may have appeared to be too long.

Faster Healing
A connective tissue graft removes only a thin piece of tissue from the donor area inside your mouth leading to less overall discomfort and faster healing.
