Florence, KY Periodontist, Dr. Ryan P. Estes, Improves Oral Health by Providing Laser Gum Disease Treatment Before Placing Dental Implants
Florence, KY (PRWEB) August 08, 2014
As a leading periodontist in Florence, KY, Dr. Ryan P. Estes of Perio-Implant Care brings to adults new chances for the successful placement of dental implants to fill gaps left by lost teeth with a minimally invasive gum disease treatment. The LANAP® protocol leverages laser technology to effectively treat gum disease quickly and with minimal discomfort, providing a healthy and stable support system for long term implant benefits.
Dental implants, like natural teeth, require a sufficient amount of healthy bone to hold them securely in place. Periodontal infection can cause severe bone loss which is one contributing factor to the ultimate loss of teeth, thereby lowering the chances of successful implant placement as well. This is just one of the reasons that people with periodontal disease should seek gum disease treatment. Dr. Estes, a periodontist in Florence, KY understands the challenges associated with traditional gum surgeries and has chosen to embrace the LANAP® treatment option in large part due to its ability to address those challenges. The PerioLase® MVP-7™ laser eliminates the need for scalpel incisions and sutures. The recovery period is a fraction of the time as compared to standard methods.
There are many options available to replace missing teeth but implants are generally considered the most desired choice. This is because of both their aesthetic, functional, and medical benefits. Implants offer a highly natural tooth like appearance and also allow patients to eat and speak without interference or problems. Additionally, implants function most like natural teeth with the titanium posts providing jaw bone stimulation just as the teeth roots before them did. This prevents the eventual loss of bone density that can occur when teeth are missing for extended periods of time. Understanding this highlights the many benefits of gum disease treatment.
