Gum Disease Treatment in Louisville Promotes Faster Healing than Traditional Surgery with the Laser Gum Disease Surgery Alternative Offered by Dr. Reid A. Nelson
Louisville, KY (PRWEB) July 19, 2013 -- The Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure (LANAP) is a new non-invasive gum disease surgery alternative offered by Dr. Reid A. Nelson to Louisville gum disease patients. Gum disease is an extremely common condition among Americans over 30. Starting as seemingly mild gingivitis, this bacterial infection of the gum tissue can turn into advanced periodontal disease, which can lead to larger health issues. Gum disease can also result in the loss of teeth. Patients can now receive this cutting edge gum disease treatment in Louisville to potentially save their natural teeth.
In the past, the removal of damaged gum tissue required a scalpel. A dental professional would cut a patient’s gums, scrape away damaged tissue and then reposition and suture the gums. However, Dr. Nelson is now offering a cutting edge gum disease surgery alternative that is minimally invasive because it uses a laser to effectively remove damaged tissue. The laser leaves healthy connective tissue untouched, allowing quick healing.
The laser removes disease and stimulates healthy growth of bone tissue to stabilize teeth that may otherwise need to be extracted. For teeth that cannot be saved, Dr. Nelson offers different tooth replacement options such as dental implants.
