What Is Periodontal Disease?

Periodontal (gum) disease is a chronic and progressive inflammatory condition that affects the gums and connective tissues supporting your teeth. Early-stage gum disease, gingivitis, is often reversible without surgery. If not treated, gingivitis can progress to periodontitis, a more destructive form of periodontal disease. The infection and inflammation can lead to gum recession and damage the bone and tissue supporting the teeth. Periodontal disease remains the primary cause of tooth loss in adults.

Aside from your oral health, periodontal disease can impact your overall well-being. The chronic inflammation and infection have been linked to many serious health conditions, including heart disease, stroke, respiratory conditions, and even pregnancy complications.

What Is Laser-Assisted Periodontal Surgery?

Laser-assisted periodontal surgery is a minimally invasive technology used to treat moderate to severe gum disease. The innovative procedure uses cutting-edge laser technology to target and remove diseased tissue and bacteria in the periodontal pockets with exceptional precision while leaving healthy tissue intact.

Laser therapy creates a stable environment that promotes gum tissue and bone regeneration. It also reduces pathogenic bacteria, decontaminates infected periodontal pockets, supports healing, and encourages the reattachment of healthy gum tissue to the bone. Our innovative laser offers a gentle and highly effective alternative to traditional periodontal surgery, drawing on the body’s natural healing properties for optimal treatment outcomes.

What Can You Expect During Your Laser-Assisted Periodontal Surgery?

Dr. Matta will perform a thorough exam and create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs. During your treatment, our innovative laser gently removes diseased tissue and harmful oral bacteria in your periodontal pockets and on your tooth root surfaces. The virtually pain-free procedure encourages natural healing and promotes gum and bone tissue regeneration.

Laser therapy reduces bleeding, swelling, discomfort, and downtime compared to traditional periodontal surgery, while ensuring a faster recovery time. The revolutionary technology delivers remarkable treatment outcomes without the need for surgery, scalpels, or sutures.
