Advanced Gum Disease Treatment and Laser Dentistry

Periodontal disease can progress even when symptoms are mild. Signs such as gum bleeding during brushing or flossing, tenderness or swelling, ongoing bad breath, gum recession, or increasing tooth mobility may point to a periodontal problem. Gingivitis is limited to inflammation of the gums, whereas periodontitis can damage the supporting tissues and bone around the teeth.

Patients seeking gum disease treatment in Lexington are evaluated for inflammation, periodontal pocket depths, bone levels, and individual risk factors. Depending on the findings, treatment may involve scaling and root planing, another nonsurgical approach, laser-assisted therapy, or periodontal surgery.

LANAP laser treatment in Lexington, MA may be incorporated into care for selected periodontal cases. LANAP® combines laser application with mechanical removal of deposits from tooth-root surfaces as part of a structured treatment protocol. Suitability, anticipated discomfort, and recovery considerations vary by patient.

LAPIP® may be considered when peri-implant disease affects the tissues around an existing dental implant. For selected dental implant procedures, the team may also use BLAST technology when clinically appropriate. Lexington residents can discuss these options directly at their local office, although laser-assisted treatment is not necessary or appropriate for every patient.
