Gum Disease Laser Therapy Philadelphia PA
A Minimally Invasive Way to Save Your Teeth!
Using the advanced Fotona® dental laser, Dr. Laudenbach and Dr. Bhavsar treat persistent gum disease comfortably and effectively without the need for traditional gum surgery. This treatment has helped many patients avoid losing their teeth to gum disease.
Gum disease, also known as “periodontal disease,” is the most common cause of tooth loss in adults. It is a bacterial infection and inflammation of the gums that, left untreated, progressively destroys the gums and bones that support the teeth. This can cause teeth to loosen and eventually fall out. The doctors offer laser periodontal therapy as a minimally invasive way to treat gum disease that can often prevent the need for traditional gum surgery.
Expertise in Saving Teeth
As periodontists, Drs. Laudenbach and Bhavsar are specialists in the diagnosis and treatment of gum disease. Thanks to their specialty training and experience effectively combating the disease, they are often able to save teeth that otherwise might have been lost.
Minimally Invasive Laser for Comfortable, Effective Treatment
The doctors use the Fotona laser, which is highly effective at both fighting the infection and promoting the healing of the gum and bone tissue. It emits two wavelengths of laser light that deliver a one-two punch to the bacteria that cause gum disease—one removes the tartar and diseased tissue, while the other encourages reconnection of the gums to the teeth for stabilization and healing. There is little to no bleeding because there’s no cutting or suturing. Patients are also more comfortable during and after treatment.
Traditional gum disease treatment focuses on scraping away bacteria, but the laser removes the bacteria and disinfects the gum tissue and the tooth root’s surface. We’re able to sterilize the area around the teeth, and as a result, the tissue is healthier. Patients immediately have almost no bleeding in areas with severe bleeding.
Rebuilding What Was Lost
Treatment with the laser stimulates the body’s natural regenerative potential, according to a variety of high-quality studies published in peer-reviewed journals. This assists in repairing bone and gum tissue that may have been lost due to gum disease.
When necessary, the doctors also use grafting techniques to rebuild lost gun and bone tissue, providing a stable foundation of healthy teeth.
Who Should See A Periodontist for Gum Disease Treatment
While anyone can benefit from seeing a periodontist like Dr. Laudenbach or Dr. Bhavsar for their gum disease treatment, receiving care from a specialist is imperative for certain types of people, including the following:
- Diabetics
- Smokers
- People with thin gum tissue
- Acid reflux patients who regularly take medications such as Prilosec®, Prevacid®, Nexium®, etc.
- Gum disease treatment is often much more complicated for these types of patients and requires an expert periodontist to treat them effectively.
“Although my dentist was very attentive with frequent cleanings and scalings, he realized that the time had come for me to see a periodontist to tackle my bleeding gums once and for all. He highly recommended Dr. Jay Laudenbach. My dentist said Dr. Laudenbach is who he would see if he had gum disease.
First and foremost, Dr. Laudenbach has an impressive educational background at top undergraduate and dental schools, as well as a deep well of experience and an obvious expertise that instills confidence. Add a warm manner, compassion and a sense of humor, and you have a winning combination!
The staff is very professional, friendly and caring, especially when my gums were healing after my extensive laser treatments. Team members are always available to answer questions, take care of patient concerns and go the extra mile. My gums are now healthy and no longer bleeding. I enthusiastically recommend Dr. Laudenbach to anyone who needs periodontal work.”— Caroline, laser gum disease treatment
