Clearwater FL Periodontist Dr.
Todd Britten, Offers Laser Dental Surgery As a Successful Treatment for
Periodontal Disease
Dr.
Todd Britten is offering patients at Britten Periodontics & Implant
Dentistry surgical treatment utilizing the PerioLase and LANAP® protocol for
treatment of periodontal disease. LANAP, or the Laser Assisted New Attachment
Procedure, is an alternative to traditional periodontal surgery for the
treatment of gum disease. Dr. Britten also offers LAPIP®, the Laser Assisted
Peri-Implantitis Procedure, to treat infected and/or save failing dental
implants.
Dr.
Todd Britten, DMD, M.S. , a board-certified periodontist, provides LANAP
therapy as an option to traditional surgery for patients who suffer from gum or
periodontal disease. Dr. Britten received special training on the procedure,
which uses the PerioLase MVP-7 laser for periodontal disease treatment.
This procedure kills harmful bacteria and removes unhealthy gum tissue without
harming bone or healthy tissue.
At
Britten Periodontics & Implant Dentistry, Dr. Todd Britten and his staff
care about their patients’ total oral and systemic health and are concerned
that nearly half of American adults have some form of gum disease and many
don’t even know it. Gum disease can cause serious oral health problems, and has
been connected to a number of other major health issues, such as heart disease
and Diabetes. The uses a laser instead of scalpel, so it is minimally invasive.
Patients who have undergone this periodontal disease treatment
have reported little, if any, discomfort or pain and a shorter recovery period.
The
laser dental surgery procedure begins with Dr.
Britten using a periodontal probe to determine the depth of the pockets between
the teeth and gums that contain bacteria. He then uses the PerioLase laser to
eliminate those harmful bacteria, tartar and diseased gum tissue in the
pockets. The healthy tissue is compressed and stimulated to attach to the tooth
and bone regeneration may also stimulated by the laser.
The
LANAP procedure is fully cleared by the FDA for periodontal disease treatment
and has been shown to be quite effective. Patients who suffer from gum disease
can now be evaluated to determine whether they are candidates for this new
treatment procedure. For additional information on the LANAP procedure, visit http://www.clearwaterperiodontist.com
