Roswell Dentist is First in Area to Offer New Technology for Periodontitis Treatment

    ROSWELL, GA, November 13, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Leading dentists in Roswell, Drs. Michael and Judd Shenk, invite patients to visit Shenk Dental Care for Laser Periodontal Therapy, also known as LANAP - Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure. LANAP is designed specifically for treating patients with periodontal disease.

Laser Periodontal Therapy is a laser based technique for the treatment of periodontal disease using the PerioLase Laser. Initial treatment is focused on scaling and the use of small instruments to remove the tartar. Depending on the severity of the patient's periodontal disease, treatment may be accomplished in one office visit or in multiple visits.

"Our office is one of the first in the area to offer Laser Periodontal Therapy for the treatment of gingivitis or periodontitis. Fear of periodontal treatment vanishes when patients find out there is no scalpel or sutures needed with LANAP. I am also honored to have recently achieved the very prestigious Fellowship status in the Institute for Advanced Laser Dentistry," said Dr. Shenk, Roswell cosmetic dentist.

Tartar, associated with inflamed and bleeding gums, is removed from the root surface of the tooth using an ultrasonic scaler and small instruments. Next, a small amount of light energy from a laser is directed through a tiny fiber, which is gently placed between the gum and tooth. This light energy removes a tiny amount of diseased tissue and aids in reducing the bacteria associated with the disease. After the area is thoroughly cleaned, the body can heal the area naturally.

From Roswell Invisalign to dentures, Shenk Dental Care provides an array of dental services to meet the needs of their patients in one convenient location. With the availability of LANAP, patients can now receive periodontal disease treatment without the scalpel or sutures, further showcasing Drs. Michael and Judd Shenk's continual commitment to providing optimum dental health care for their patients.
