How Laser Tools Address Periodontal Issues

For some patients, the right care will include work that removes unhealthy tissues along with bacteria in order to encourage the growth of disease-free gums. Park Cities Periodontics And Implant Dentistry can provide this service while using advanced laser tools. The PerioLase tool is used for this Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure (LANAP). In using this approach, we make work on your tissues more conservative.

This service is just one of several approaches we can take to help patients struggling with more advanced gum problems. Remember that the longer you wait to pursue this kind of care, the more likely you are to experience complications.
