Advantages of Laser Therapy at Great Lakes Periodontics

There is no better way to welcome spring than by restoring and enhancing your beautiful smile at Great Lakes Periodontics. Based in West Michigan, our team is dedicated to ensuring our clients’ utmost comfort and satisfaction. In this blog, we aim to shed light on the groundbreaking Laser Therapy treatment available here, championed by our very own, Dr. James C. Papp.

Introduction to Laser Therapy

For those unfamiliar with the term ‘Laser Therapy‘, it’s a modern and minimally invasive procedure aimed at helping maintain and improve oral health. At Great Lakes Periodontics, we utilize advanced LAPT (laser-assisted periodontal therapy) treatments to provide a gentler and more precise treatment that is aimed at conserving healthy tissue while minimizing any pain or discomfort that may be expected from other treatments.

Unique Advantages of Laser Therapy

At Great Lakes Periodontics, we take immense pride in our laser therapy procedure and the array of benefits it provides. Here are some reasons why it’s worth considering:

  • Precision: Using a laser ensures accuracy and precision, eliminating the chance of damaging any healthy tissues surrounding the treatment area.
  • Faster healing: Laser Therapy is gentler on your body, promoting quicker recovery than traditional surgical procedures.
  • Less discomfort: Post-treatment discomfort is significantly lessened, making the process comfortable and encouraging quicker return to normal diet and routine.
  • Reduced Risk of Infection: The laser’s antibacterial properties help to disinfect treated areas, lowering the risk of postoperative infections.
  • Patient-Friendly: Patients experience less anxiety and discomfort during procedures involving lasers compared to traditional methods.

Laser Therapy with Waterlase MD

LAPT treatment at Great Lakes Periodontics uses the Waterlase MD laser. This unique system combines the use of laser technology and water for a gentle yet precise treatment. A small laser fiber targets the diseased gum tissue, effectively disintegrating the bacteria and diseased tissue without disturbing the surrounding healthy tissues. Once the disease’s tissue is removed, your remaining gums and bones will be given the opportunity to improve. Waterlase MD can also be used for cosmetic treatments like gum recontouring.

Laser Therapy with Biolase Diode Lasers

Biolase diode lasers are a type of dental laser that utilizes specific wavelengths of light to perform a variety of dental procedures. Known for their precision and versatility, these lasers are increasingly used in periodontal therapy. At the practice of Dr. James C. Papp, Biolase diode lasers are expertly employed by registered dental hygienists for bacterial reduction and degranulation removal during periodontal maintenance appointments.
