Receiving appropriate treatment is essential for patients suffering from gum disease. Not only can gum disease diminish your appearance, it has also been linked to a number of serious health conditions including diabetes, heart disease, and even certain types of cancer.

When in search of effective treatments for gum disease, many patients in Roswell, GA look to laser gum surgery as a less invasive option as compared to traditional surgery. This is made possible through use of LANAP® (Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure), which utilizes a state-of-the-art laser to do away with damage caused by pervasive gum disease without affecting the remaining healthy tissue.

Benefits of Laser Gum Treatments

Patients can expect a number of great benefits when undergoing laser gum treatment, such as a reduced pain level thanks to the healing bio stimulation associated with dental lasers. In addition to decreased pain and discomfort, patients can also look forward to the following:

  • Faster Healing Time – With laser gum surgery, patients can look forward to a much faster healing time. This means less time spent recuperating so you can get right back to your normal daily routine.
  • A Reduction of Inflammation and Bleeding – Use of high-tech lasers allows for the removal of up to 90% of oral inflammation after just a single visit. Because this technology targets bacteria, healthy tissue will remain intact after treatment.
  • Regeneration of Bone – LANAP can also boost bone growth, thereby decreasing the likelihood of loosened or shifting teeth.
  • Allows You to Keep Your Natural Teeth – Laser gum treatment even enables patients to retain their natural teeth before gum disease becomes too pervasive, which is vital to maintaining a confident and healthy smile.
