get gum disease treatment today
Periodontal disease, commonly known as gum disease, is a serious oral health condition that affects the gums and supporting structures of the teeth. It is caused by the buildup of plaque and bacteria, leading to inflammation and infection. If left untreated, periodontal disease can result in tooth loss and other serious health complications. Luckily, we offer highly affective treatments such as LANAP laser treatment to resolve or control periodontal disease. Call your dentist in Colorado Springs for gum disease treatment today!
Treating periodontal disease can significantly improve your oral health. By removing bacteria and promoting gum reattachment, the risk of tooth loss is reduced, and the overall health of your gums and teeth is restored. Healthy gums are the foundation of a beautiful smile.
Did you know that periodontal disease has been linked to various systemic health conditions, including heart disease, diabetes, and respiratory problems? By treating periodontal disease with options like LANAP laser treatment, you not only improve your oral health but also reduce the risk of developing these serious health issues.
Diagnosis and Evaluation
The first step in treating periodontal disease is a thorough diagnosis and evaluation by our experienced dentists, Dr. Brian Tuttle and Dr. Stephen Bryant. They will examine your gums, measure the depth of the pockets around your teeth, and take X-rays to assess the extent of the disease.
Scaling and Root Planing
Once the severity of your periodontal disease is determined, the next step is scaling and root planing. This non-surgical procedure involves removing plaque and tartar from the tooth surfaces and smoothing out the root surfaces to promote gum reattachment and prevent further bacteria buildup.
For more advanced cases of periodontal disease, we offer LANAP laser treatment. LANAP stands for Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure. This minimally invasive procedure uses laser technology to remove diseased tissue, kill bacteria, and promote the regeneration of healthy gum tissue. LANAP is a highly effective and comfortable alternative to traditional gum surgery.
Choosing LANAP laser treatment for periodontal disease offers several advantages. It is a minimally invasive procedure that results in less discomfort, faster healing times, and minimal gum recession compared to traditional gum surgery. LANAP also stimulates the regeneration of bone, helping to preserve your natural teeth and restore oral health.
