Your guide to periodontal care, dental implants, and laser treatments—everything you need to know before your visit.
A periodontist is a dental specialist trained in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of gum disease and in the placement of dental implants. You should see a periodontist if you have bleeding gums, gum recession, loose teeth, or need advanced gum or implant procedures.
LANAP (Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure) is a minimally invasive laser therapy that treats periodontal disease without cutting or sutures. It targets infected tissue while preserving healthy gums, offering faster healing and less discomfort compared to traditional surgery.
Yes, LAPIP (Laser-Assisted Peri-Implantitis Procedure) is designed to treat infections around dental implants caused by peri-implantitis. The laser removes bacteria and promotes tissue regeneration, often saving the implant without the need for invasive surgery.
Dental implants are a safe, long-term solution for replacing missing teeth. With proper care, they can last a lifetime. Our practice uses advanced techniques and precise planning to ensure optimal implant success and stability.
Most patients experience a shorter recovery time than traditional surgery. Healing typically takes a few days to a week, depending on the severity of the condition and adherence to post-treatment care.
Yes, we offer sedation options to ensure your comfort during treatment. Whether you’re undergoing laser therapy, implant surgery, or extractions, we aim to make your experience stress-free and relaxing.
