Laser Gum Treatments:
The LightWalker AT laser is utilized for all major steps of periodontal
therapy, including laser curettage, sulcular debridement, removal of
pathological tissue, and many other procedures. Better yet, Waterlase
MD therapy is faster and easier on our patients.
Traditionally, moderate to advanced periodontitis, or gum disease,
was treated with surgery involving cutting, stitching, and significant
recovery time. This invasive approach was often painful, and presented
“roadblocks” for patients taking medications such as blood thinners,
certain cardiac medications, and other systemic medications that would
be contraindicated for traditional periodontal surgery.
Although traditional procedures have been successful, our
state-of-the-art approach to the treatment of periodontal (gum) disease
is more conservative and predictable. With the LightWalker AT Laser, we are now able to
improve the periodontal health of our patients for many years in a much
less invasive way.
Laser gum treatment enables Dr. DalBon to treat gum disease much more
quickly and easily, with no cutting, stitching, bleeding, or pain.
Results
have included new connective tissue and bone regeneration. The LightWalker AT laser also
provides a complete sterilization of the “pockets” in the gum tissue
surrounding the teeth by eliminating all the destructive bacteria that
cause periodontal or gum disease.
