Heal Your Gums with Nonsurgical Periodontitis Treatment in Red Bank, NJ
A comprehensive evaluation of your gums, teeth, and bone health helps Dr. Beard determine the extent of your gum disease.
Digital imaging and precise measurements are used to identify pocket depths and areas of infection. This detailed diagnosis ensures personalized periodontal treatment for optimal healing and long-term gum health.
Using the PerioLase MVP-7 laser, inflamed and diseased tissue is vaporized beneath your gumline and within the periodontal pockets.
The fiber optic tip is the width of three human hairs, allowing for accurate targeting and removal of diseased gum tissue while preserving healthy tissue. The laser energy also reduces inflammation and prepares your gums for effective cleaning and healing.
Next, ultrasonic instruments are used to remove hardened tartar and plaque from your root surfaces. This deep cleaning helps facilitate healthy reattachment of supporting tissues to the surface of your tooth roots. This process is thorough yet comfortable, promoting a healthier, bacteria-free foundation for healing.
The PerioLase laser is set to a different wavelength than applied again to create a protective blood clot that seals the treated area. The fibrin clot acts as a natural barrier, preventing bacteria from re-entering your pockets. This helps stabilize your gum tissue, thereby stimulating the regeneration process.
After the area is disinfected and sealed, your gum tissue is gently compressed against the tooth roots. This helps reduce pocket depth and promotes a snug, healthy attachment. No stitches are needed, resulting in a faster and more comfortable recovery.
Mild sensitivity and soreness around your treatment sites are common after LANAP gum disease treatment in Red Bank, NJ. Over the following weeks and months, your body’s natural healing response encourages the growth of new bone and tissue. Soft tissue regeneration is instrumental for strengthening your jawbone and stabilizing your teeth.
