Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure (LANAP) is a cutting-edge, minimally invasive treatment for gum disease. This procedure utilizes laser technology to target and remove diseased tissue and bacteria from gum pockets, promoting the healing and regeneration of healthy gum tissue. LANAP is known for its effectiveness in treating periodontal disease while minimizing discomfort and reducing recovery time compared to traditional surgical approaches. Patients experience improved gum health and reduced inflammation following LANAP treatment.
The BLAST technique is a cutting-edge protocol designed to enhance dental implants’ success and longevity. This approach accelerates healing by stimulating collagen formation, reduces the risk of complications such as infection, and enhances implant integration into the bone. The BLAST protocol minimizes bleeding risks while decontaminating the implant site for optimal healing and improves overall patient outcomes. We also include an implant maintenance protocol to ensure the longevity of your investment in a healthy, functional smile.
By utilizing guided implant surgery, laser technology, surgical guides, CBCT scans, and 3D printers, BLAST creates a more precise and comfortable patient-friendly approach to implant surgery.
Our gum/soft tissue grafting procedure utilizes the Pat Allen technique, which creates a tiny “tunnel” in the gums where the recession has occurred and inserts the grafted tissue into this space. This method eliminates the need to cut or harvest tissue, making the surgery minimally invasive and more comfortable.
The technique improves blood flow near the teeth’s roots, promoting faster healing and reducing discomfort for a smoother recovery process. We tailor each treatment to meet the unique needs of every patient, ensuring personalized care and optimal results with minimal disruption to daily life.
Air polishing is an advanced dental technique that utilizes a combination of air, water, and fine powder particles to effectively remove plaque, stains, and biofilm from teeth. This gentler alternative to traditional scaling and polishing is particularly beneficial for anxious patients who find dental cleanings uncomfortable or stressful.
The air polishing procedure is quick and efficient, significantly reducing the time spent in the dental chair and minimizing discomfort. Patients often describe the sensation of air polishing as less invasive, which helps alleviate anxiety and fosters a more relaxed and comfortable dental experience for those who are nervous about their appointments.
