Encino, CA Periodontist, Dr. Andrew Satlin Brings Laser Gum Surgery to Patients Needing Gum Disease Treatment and Bone Regeneration for Successful Dental Implants

Encino, CA (PRWEB) May 18, 2013

Patients of Dr. Andrew Satlin now have the opportunity for healthier gums and more successful implant surgeries thanks to Dr. Satlins use of laser gum surgery. The Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure is a leading-edge procedure that is FDA cleared and can dramatically improve the health of patients gums as well as regenerate bone growth. These factors play a critical role in Dr. Satlins ability to surgically place the dental implants initially as well as their long term success. Placing implants in diseased gums will only encourage the gum disease to spread further into the gums and eventually the bone.

LANAP offers many advantages over traditional scalpel gum surgery, including decreased pain, decreased gum recession, decreased healing time and more predictable and consistent results. It is used to remove bacteria and diseased gum tissue by passing a laser light between the tooth and the gum. Patients do not feel or hear anything, except possibly some slight warmth. Because laser gum surgery only seeks out infected gum tissue, all healthy tissue is left intact.

With traditional gum surgery, healthy and unhealthy tissue is cut away, leading to increased pocket depth from 2-4 mm on the conservative end to as much as 10 or 15 mm. As gums recede, the roots of teeth are exposed, leading to increased sensitivity to temperatures as well as aesthetic problems for many patients. LANAP results in little to no gum recession or increase in gum pocket depth. The virtual lack of any sensation or pain associated with this procedure also means that patients can typically resume all normal activities and rarely need any pain medication following their laser surgery.

The combination of a less invasive surgery with fewer side effects and improved results makes LANAP surgery an exciting new option in the world of combatting periodontal disease. Because laser surgery aids in both bone regeneration and connective reattachment, many teeth that would previously have been extracted can now be saved. In situations where dental implants are still needed, the remaining gum and bone will be healthier and provide a better foundation for long term success with the implant.

The Woodlands, TX Periodontist, Dr. Gayle Bradshaw, Performs Laser Gum Surgery With The FDA Cleared Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure For Gum Disease Treatment

(PRWEB) March 15, 2013

Dr. Gayle Bradshaw performs laser surgery on patients suffering from the debilitating effects of gum disease. Millions of adults across the country suffer from gum or periodontal disease, and many of them do not seek treatment because they do not want to undergo traditional procedures. With technological advancements in dentistry bringing procedures such as the Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure to the dental community, more patients may begin to seek the necessary treatment.

As a periodontist who treats many patients suffering from gum disease, Dr. Bradshaw has welcomed this new procedure by getting the training necessary to offer it to her patients. In fact, she has joined only one percent of dental professionals that are certified on the new procedure. LANAP uses a specialized laser that is extremely selective. The PerioLase MVP-7 laser has been cleared by the FDA and is designed to attack bacteria and diseased gum tissue without negatively affecting the healthy tissue or bone. The result is that more healthy gum tissue is kept in the mouth versus traditional gum surgery.

Gum disease can lead to receding gums, bone loss and eventual tooth loss. By using the LANAP procedure, the disease can be removed from the mouth with minimal discomfort and more healthy tissue is available to protect the teeth. Another benefit of the procedure is that the bone tissue is stimulated to regenerate, which strengthens the teeth. After the procedure, many patients can go back to performing normal activities the same day as the procedure, so downtime is short.

Although the effects of periodontal disease on the mouth are bad, there are additional problems that have been connected to this disease. In fact, such serious health issues as heart disease, diabetes and even low birth-weight babies have been linked to this disease. Visiting a periodontist is an important first step to receiving the appropriate treatment. For more information on the LANAP procedure, visit http://www.bradshawperiodontics.com.

Bradshaw Periodontics is a periodontal practice offering patients personalized dental care for The Woodlands, Texas since 1998. Dr. Gayle Bradshaw graduated Magna Cum Laude in 1994 from The University of Texas Health Science Center San Antonio Dental School. Dr. Bradshaw and her family moved to Houston to complete her Masters Degree in periodontal surgery at The University of Texas Dental Branch where she completed her studies in 1998. In 2000, she earned her Board Certification from the American Board of Periodontology. Dr. Bradshaw is part of one percent of dental professionals providing the most recent FDA cleared laser procedure for gum disease and periodontal treatment.
