Gum Disease Treatment is Now Available Using Laser Gum Surgery in Austin, TX with Dr. David Baker of Westlake Family Dental Care
Austin, TX (PRWEB) October 19, 2013 -- The Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure (LANAP), a noninvasive gum disease treatment alternative, is now available at Dr. David Baker’s Austin, TX dental practice. Prior to LANAP, removing advanced periodontitis required invasive traditional surgery where dentists cut into the gum tissue to remove the infection. Since many people associate pain and inconvenience with traditional surgical procedures, they often postpone seeking gum disease treatment and increase their risk of other health complications.
Due to the present pervasiveness of gum disease in the United States, missing teeth in adults is also on the rise. During the first stage of gum disease (gingivitis), the infection can usually be eradicated with professional dental cleanings and stricter adherence to daily brushing and flossing. However, when gum disease progresses into the moderate and advanced states of periodontitis, bone deterioration begins to occur. The subsequent instability of the bone holding the teeth frequently causes tooth loss. Laser gum surgery is the only gum disease treatment capable of stimulating bone regeneration, which in many cases enables Dr. Baker to save patients’ natural teeth.
For more information on LANAP and Austin, TX gum disease treatment options, please call (512) 782-8422 to schedule a consultation with Dr. Baker.
