Just as Dr. Gore and Dr. Svans have embraced many other leading edge technologies due to the benefits that advanced technology brings to patients, many patients come to the practice of Dr. Gore and Dr. Svans for Laser Periodontal Therapy in Scottsdale Arizona and from surrounding areas, such as, Phoenix, Paradise Valley, Chandler, and Mesa Arizona.
 
Laser Periodontal Therapy offers a less invasive approach when compared to traditional gum surgery for gum disease, also known as, periodontal disease. The treatment is often prescribed following the diagnosis of gingivitis (precursor to gum disease) or gum disease in which the gums may have seemed to separate from one or more teeth and bacteria may have filled in a pocket between the gums and one or more teeth. 

How It Works

Laser periodontal therapy is a wonderful option for people with gum disease, offering means to seal the gums to affected teeth without discomfort and with a speedier healing time. Antibiotics are placed in the pocket(s) prior to sealing in order to get to the core of the bacteria for deep cleansing treatment.
 
Laser periodontal therapy is also a highly technique driven procedure that only a select number of dentists across the country perform.  Due to the technology’s advantages, it is suspected to become mainstream technology at some point in time as the standard for care for people with gum disease. In the meantime, patients of Dr. Gore and Dr. Svans can benefit from the advantages that laser periodontal therapy has to offer.    
There is no cure for gum disease, but gum disease can be successfully managed to forestall its progression. If left untreated, gum disease may lead to tooth loss and has been linked to other diseases, such as, stroke and heart attack.  So, it is wise to take a proactive approach to gum disease.
