more than 60% of the population has some degree of gum disease, yet statistics show that less than 3% have treatment. Since fear is one of the factors that prevent patients from having recommended treatment, we want to introduce our Dimed Berylas laser for periodontal treatment , a non-surgical approach to treating gum disease. We and our patients have found that this is a very effective treatment, and it is far less invasive and therefore much more comfortable than traditional periodontal surgery.

Laser Periodontal TreatmentLPT can help eliminate infection and heal diseased gum tissue which, if left untreated, can lead to early tooth loss. Research suggests that dental infections may also be associated with hardening of the arteries, heart attack, stroke and premature births.

Laser periodontal therapy (LPT) is a breakthrough in the treatment of gum disease just as LASIK was for ophthalmology. LPT takes some of the most effectivetreatment modalities that have been used for many years and enhances them with the conservative use of a laser. This very special combination of treatments has proven to be as effective as surgery for the treatment of periodontal disease.

We use this LPT procedure in order to preserve as much of the healthy gum tissue as possible, maintain the height of the gums around the teeth, and minimize the discomfort to the patient.
