Dentist in Naples, FL Offers New 'No Cut, No Sew' Dental Procedure for Patients With Periodontal Disease

    NAPLES, FL, February 11, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Patients suffering from periodontal (gum) disease can now receive treatment without the pain and extensive procedures with LANAP - Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure. Designed specifically for treating patients with periodontal disease, Dr. Richard Garcia, dentist in Naples, FL, is pleased to offer this innovative procedure at his office.

With up to 80% of the population suffering from some form of gingivitis or gum disease, gum care and treatments have received a lot of attention over the years. Integrating traditional modalities with natural and alternative approaches, along with technological advancements including Naples laser dentistry, makes it possible to achieve a positive outcome in dealing with gum disease.

"Laser dentistry is a newer, more precise and effective way to perform an array of dental procedures. It is a form of dentistry that allows for the treatment of highly specific areas without damaging the surrounding tissues," said Dr. Garcia, Naples, FL dentist. "As laser dentistry continues to improve and grow in popularity, many dental procedures can be performed quicker, more effectively and more comfortably than ever before."

LANAP 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 a patient's gum disease, treatment may be accomplished by Dr. Garcia, Naples dentist, in one office visit or in multiple visits.

"With LANAP, my patients no longer have to fear periodontal treatment because there is no scalpel or sutures needed," said Dr. Garcia, dentist in Naples.

Periodontal, or gum, diseases, including gingivitis and periodontitis, are serious infections that, left untreated, can lead to tooth loss. It is a chronic bacterial infection that affects the gums and bone supporting the teeth, affecting one tooth or even many teeth. Periodontal disease begins when the bacteria in plaque causes the gums to become inflamed.

To begin, Dr. Garcia, cosmetic dentist in Naples, removes tartar, associated with inflamed and bleeding gums, 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.

With LANAP laser dentistry in Naples, Dr. Garcia promotes regeneration to reduce the periodontal pocket depths. Patients no longer have to fear receiving periodontal treatment with LANAP laser gum therapy.
