Phoenix Gum Disease Laser Treatment

Treating Arizona Patients In Scottsdale, Phoenix, and Tempe

Gum disease can attack healthy teeth and gums and, if left untreated, lead to tooth loss, inhibited tooth function, and an unhealthy smile. If you haven't had your semi-annual dental checkup, schedule one now. Early detection combined with effective treatment can save endangered teeth and gums.

After periodontal disease is discovered

Unlike past scenarios, a diagnosis of gum disease may not mean your teeth and gums are irreparably damaged. With today's laser dentistry techniques, the spread of gum disease can be quickly halted and your damaged teeth repaired to strength and function with modern restorative solutions.

With LPT, there's no cutting, bleeding, or stitches!

If you have only the beginning stages of gum disease, you can fight back with great hygiene and the physical removal of bacteria through scaling and root planing.

If you have deep pockets of infection you'll need a stronger, more effective therapy. After your periodontal status is accurately determined, Dr. Lachot or Dr. Loo will discuss LANAP.

  • With only a local anesthetic, a tiny laser beam can target affected areas between the teeth and gums
  • The bacteria is instantly vaporized, leaving the area clean and complimentary of infection
  • There are no stitches and very little bleeding
  • There are no scalpels involved

Before laser dentistry, extensive gum surgery was needed to extract decay and rebuild the periodontal pocket, and even then not all of the bacteria could be removed. LANAP results are:

  • More successful
  • Longer-lasting
  • Quicker treatment, quicker healing
  • Less uncomfortable

Follow-up care

After laser gum disease treatment, it is important to maintain great home care with regular brushing and flossing.
