Over half of the American population is impacted by periodontal disease, which typically begins with mild inflammation and occasional bleeding. However, if not addressed, it can escalate to a more severe form, which attacks the bone and causes irreversible damage, ultimately leading to tooth loss.
Chronic periodontal disease doesn’t necessarily cause pain, making it challenging to detect compared to other dental problems.
Laser therapy has become increasingly popular in dentistry, with both periodontists and patients showing interest in the treatment. While medical professionals have been using lasers to treat different ailments for many years, they were later introduced in dentistry to overcome some of the limitations of conventional dental procedures.
The dental laser therapy process entails directing a focused beam of light energy onto specific dental tissue areas, and it is used for various periodontal procedures.
Dental implants offer a solution that feels and looks natural for people with missing teeth. The process involves inserting a titanium post or screw into the jawbone to serve as the missing tooth’s root. An artificial tooth, a crown, is attached to the implant, providing a secure and natural-feeling replacement.
Patients and periodontists prefer implants because they can seamlessly fill the gaps left by missing teeth, giving them a natural look and feel.
When a patient experiences bone loss in the jaw, dental bone grafts can help to restore volume and density in the affected area. By providing a stable foundation for implants and other restorative options, dental bone grafts are a reliable solution for restoring lost jawbone.
The gum tissue is essential in safeguarding teeth against harmful substances like bacteria and plaque. However, gum recession can compromise this defense mechanism, making teeth susceptible to damage. If the recession exceeds 2mm, Gum Tissue Grafting may be necessary to restore the gum tissue’s protective function.
Crown lengthening is a surgical procedure to adjust the gum position around a tooth to expose more of its structure. This procedure becomes necessary when a tooth has decay, is broken below the gum line, or lacks sufficient height for restorative procedures such as a crown or bridge.
