Dentist In Phoenix Keeps Patients Smiling Longer With Advanced Certification In New Laser Technology

    PHOENIX, AZ, August 28, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Premier dentist in Phoenix, AZ, Dr. Stephen Conrad, is pleased to announce that he is a certified laser aided periodontal provider. Dental lasers have been proven to be highly effective in treating many dental issues more precisely, and are now available at Stephen Conrad, DDS.

Laser assisted periodontal therapy with LANAP (Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure) removes toxins, bacteria and granulation tissue. LANAP is an amazing breakthrough in periodontal treatments that allows Dr. Conrad, Phoenix dentist, to successfully treat periodontal disease.

"It is important that my patients receive the most up-to-date treatments available. This is why I am pleased to be a certified laser aided periodontal provider. Treating periodontal disease has now gotten easier with LANAP, which eliminates patients' fears of receiving treatment for periodontal disease when they find out there is no scalpel or sutures needed," said Dr. Stephen Conrad, dentist in Phoenix.

Periodontal disease is the major cause of tooth loss in adults. It is initiated by bacterial plaque, which is an opaque film that eventually hardens, forming tartar or calculus. These calculus deposits then harbor bacteria, which infect the gums. LANAP is a non-surgical and minimally invasive procedure that can successfully treat periodontal disease.

LANAP allows Dr. Conrad, Phoenix, AZ dentist, to safely perform many soft tissue procedures in a fast, less expensive, gentle, and non-invasive way. The laser used in LANAP cuts and coagulates at the same time, facilitating immediate hemostasis, faster postoperative healing time and fewer post-operative complications, like infection. Depending on the severity of the patient's periodontal disease, treatment may be accomplished in one office visit or in multiple visits. The estimated treatment time will be reviewed with the patient when Dr. Conrad discusses their treatment plan.

The laser probe reaches the base of the periodontal pocket to dramatically reduce healing time and provide a remarkable reduction in pocketing. Years of dental neglect can be transformed into healthy gums when scaling is combined with laser therapy. Laser therapy can also increase blood circulation at the bottom of the disease pockets and helps to regenerate gum attachment.

Patients can experience comfortable gum care with LANAP - laser assisted periodontal therapy. There is no cutting, no sutures and no painful recovery. Being a certified laser aided periodontal provider further showcases Dr. Stephen Conrad's continual commitment to providing patients with exceptional care as dentistry technology continues to advance.
