Northwood Dental Improves Gum Health with Laser Gum Surgery for Gum Disease Patients Seeking Dental Implants in Clearwater, FL
Clearwater, FL (PRWEB) December 08, 2013 -- Northwood Dental doctors , Jill Hagan, DMD, David Wagner, DDS, and Saravana Karunagaran BDS, MS, FAGD, combine laser gum surgery with dental implants for patients suffering from gum disease and tooth loss in Clearwater, FL.
The Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure (LANAP) can effectively eliminate gum disease, which is an infection in the gum tissue that can affect many other systems in the body. This type of disease can also prevent or complicate the use of dental implants as a treatment option to replace lost teeth.
Dental implants are considered by many professionals as an optimal solution for missing teeth. They have a long life span and also provide the stimulation that jaw bone requires in order to maintain its shape and health over time. Without a tooth or an implant rooted into the jaw, the bone can eventually decay. This process is known as resorption and is not easily reversible. Implants should not be placed if significant gum disease is present, thereby making laser gum surgery a helpful component of the process for filling gaps left by lost teeth.
