Morro Bay, CA Residents Looking for an Alternative to Gum Surgery Can Now Turn to Dr. Michael Colleran for a Minimally Invasive Gum Disease Treatment Option
Morro Bay, CA (PRWEB) June 20, 2014 -- As a committed and innovative dentist, Dr. Michael Colleran is proud to offer his patients the Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure (LANAP®) for gum disease treatment in Morro Bay are who want both highly effective and minimally invasive options. This gum surgery alternative treats periodontal infection with no cuts, stitches, or painful recovery periods and allows people to regain their gum health in less time than ever before.
As a gum surgery alternative, LANAP® was the first official laser treatment to be allowed for use by the U.S. Federal Drug Administration. The laser, called the PerioLase® MVP-7™, can differentiate between diseased versus healthy gum tissue and then eliminate only the infected areas. This prevents trauma to healthy gums, retains the maximum amount of healthy tissue, and stimulates bone regrowth, which are required for proper tooth support. Laser gum disease treatment in Morro Bay can therefore help patients guard against tooth loss which often occurs as a result of severe gum disease. Tooth loss can lead to additional problems, including further loss of jaw bone density because without teeth in place, the bone does not receive the amount of stimulation it requires to maintain its health.
As with any disease, treating periodontitis in early stages is always optimal. Some of the symptoms patients may notice include gums that are red, swollen, or tender or that may bleed during flossing or at other times. Patients may sometimes be hesitant to seek gum disease treatment in Morro Bay because of fears about lengthy, painful procedures. LANAP® addresses these concerns and provides a gum surgery alternative that treats infection with little to no associated discomfort. The procedure can also be completed in a fraction of the time when compared with traditional periodontal surgeries.
Patients in Morro Bay who are concerned about possible gum disease and its effects are invited to visit Dr. Colleran’s website or to schedule a consultation at his office to learn more about the disease and treatment options. Effective treatment of periodontal infection is an important way of improving not just oral but overall health and wellness.
