Periolase

Periodontitis is a set of inflammatory diseases affecting the tissues that surround and support the teeth. According to the U.S. Surgeon General, it affects 85 percent of American adults aged 18 and older and is a major cause for tooth loss.

New advances have revolutionized the treatment and maintenance of Periodontitis. Laser Periodontal Therapy™ (LPT™), also known as LANAP, is breakthrough technology that replaces conventional scalpel and suture surgery for the treatment of moderate to severe gum disease. The laser energy selectively removes diseased or infected tissue while sparing more healthy tissue. Compared to older techniques, patients experience minimal pain, bleeding, swelling, gum recession and root sensitivity.

Dr. Provines is proud to announce the addition of the advanced PerioLase dental laser to his practice. This is the first and only laser designed specifically for Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedures. ™ With regular three-month periodontal exams and periodontal maintenance cleaning, the LANAP procedure has proven resistant to future periodontal breakdown. Patients are encouraged to improve and maintain standards of oral hygiene to prevent further active periodontitis.
