Laser Perio – the Laser Assisted Periodontal Therapy

Researches suggest that the use of lasers, as an add-on to scaling and root planning can help advance the efficiency of the procedure. Scaling and root planning (SRP) is the non-surgical therapy which is used to diagnose periodontal diseases. When lasers are appropriately used during the periodontal therapy, your bleeding, inflammation and distress during the surgery can be abridged. Laser Periodontal therapy is also known as LANAP, which is said to be the Laser guided new attachment procedure. Scalpel or sutures are not used in the Laser Perio.  
Laser Perio is a painless treatment, and your post procedure discomfort is typically low or for short term. During this treatment, Tartar (associated with inflamed and bleeding gums) is detached from the root surface.  Tartar is removed using the ultrasonic scaler and tiny instruments. The Laser light energy from Periolase is directed all the way through a small fiber, which is placed between your gum and tooth. This helps eradicate infectious tissue, which aids in lowering the count of bacteria that causes the disease. The area is then carefully cleansed and after that the area is naturally restored.
Depending on the depth of the disease, treatment may vary accordingly. If the disease has advanced to the point where periodontal pockets are deep and the supporting bones are ruined, advanced treatment is a necessary. Whatever treatments are exercised, the ultimate goal is to maintain your Oral health and hygiene. Supportive Periodontal Treatment (SPT) will allow the Periodontist in evaluating your overall oral health and ensures that the infection is under control. Periodontal disease is a persistent disease. If proper care, is not given it can reoccur. Go for regular check up and stay with healthy teeth and gums.

Dental Implants – A Better Option for Proxy Teeth


Dental procedures at present emphasize precautionary measures which results in much lesser tooth loss rates. Even though a lot of people like you are losing teeth as a result of gum diseases, dental caries, and other causes.  Initially, Dental Implants were exercised for maintaining dentures in the entire jaw. Benefits of Implants turn out to be obvious and this technology was adapted for the replacement of one or more teeth. Dental Implant has now become better choice for the replacement of your missing tooth. Most popular dental proxies are Bridges and full or partial dentures. Bridges or Dentures will only tackle with the temporary cosmetics problem of you missing teeth, but, they can do nothing in stopping bone loss in the area of missing teeth.

For Dental Bridges, two or more teeth need to be reduced in size, in order to act as pillars/augments. With Dental Implants, your healthy teeth are not crumpled and they convey the chewing forces to the jaw thus stopping bone loss. Dental Implants are said to be the better standard of teeth replacement care. You can replace your missing teeth roots with supportive posts. These supportive posts are usually made up of titanium. This can be used to restore your single tooth, several teeth or for the whole reformation of your distorted mouth, as titanium is the only bio-compatible metal. Titanium will fuse with your jaw bone within a period of 3-6 months.

Normally, Dental Implants are carried out in three phases, the treatment planning, implant placement and crown placement. In order to plan the treatment, your Dentist will take x-rays and create a model of your existing teeth. It is with the help of this model, your Dentist is able to determine how and where the implant should be placed. The Dental Implant is then placed in the bone and allows to osseointegrate within a given period of time before attaching the Dental Crown. Maintaining a good Oral Hygiene is the better part you have to play for attaining long-term Implant success. Your Dentists will put you on routine Dental check-ups. Dental Implants can give you lifetime pleasure, if appropriate care should be given.
