Dr. Neal Patel Extends Services, Now Offers Columbus, OH Residents a Less Invasive Option for Treating Receding Gums

Saturday, April 25th, 2015


Columbus, OH (PRWEB) April 06, 2015

Dr. Neal Patel of Infinite Smiles is excited to announce that he is expanding his practice in order to deliver treatment for receding gums, near Columbus, OH. Advanced recession is a common cause of tooth loss in Columbus because the condition does not heal without dental intervention. However, with the help of recession treatment, patients can be rid of their gum problems and can keep their teeth healthy. Chao Pinhole® Surgical Technique (PST) is a new procedure that guides the gums back into a position where they properly cover the exposed tooth roots. Treatment yields immediate results and following the procedure, healing is rapid and involves only minimal discomfort.

It is human nature to assume that the body is healthy as long as there is no pain. Unfortunately, serious dental conditions, such as receding gums in Columbus, OH, are often painless until their late stages. The best way to catch this and other oral problems early is through regular checkups. Diseases are easier to treat before they become complex. Those who seek early care for receding gums near Columbus, OH, find that the treatment is straight-forward and results are positive. In order to perform the technique, Dr. Patel first numbs the patient to ensure that the appointment is comfortable. He then inserts a tiny hole in the gum, through which he eases the tissue away into correct positioning. They gums slide into place so that they again cover the roots and treatment is complete.

Chao Pinhole® Surgical Technique is gentle on gums because no incisions or sutures are necessary. There is almost no bleeding and the tiny access hole heals completely within a matter of days. Patients leave their appointments without the inflammation and swelling that is typically present following surgeries and generally feel well enough to immediately go back to their normal activities.

Dr. Timothy S. Davis Expands Patient Base in South Florida, Provides More Patients Access to Minimally Invasive Laser Gum Surgery

Monday, December 29th, 2014


Naples, FL (PRWEB) December 15, 2014

Periodontist Dr. Timothy S. Davis continues to expand his patient base in order to provide patients throughout South Florida with easier access to a minimally invasive alternative for treating gum disease. The LANAP® protocol employs sophisticated laser technology to reduce periodontal infection without cutting or suturing.

Dr. Davis belongs to a select group of dental professionals who have completed the training required to perform LANAP®. Since only one percent of dentists in the country currently offer the procedure, many people do not live in close proximity to a LANAP® certified provider. Although Dr. Davis still provides traditional periodontal disease treatments like scaling and root planing as well as osseous surgery, he has found LANAP® to be more comprehensive in nature during the four years he has performed the procedure. Because of the laser’s ability to target and vaporize only the diseased tissue and bacteria, Dr. Davis is able to preserve more of the soft tissue and bone while eliminating/minimizing the bacterial load.

While laser gum surgery achieves similar results to flap and osseous surgery, LANAP® offers several advantages over those traditional procedures. Since the procedure is minimally invasive and does not require incisions or sutures, patients experience significantly less pain, bleeding, and swelling. Unlike traditional surgery, which can create recession, a laser gum surgery procedure does not result in gum recession. In addition to increased sensitivity, receding gums also pose a cosmetic concern due to the lowered gum line.

In order to determine a patient’s eligibility for LANAP®, Dr. Davis first conducts a comprehensive examination and reviews all treatment options and their accompanying pros and cons. Dr. Davis bases his recommendation on the unique needs of each individual. In some cases, patients may be medically compromised and their primary care physician has advised against invasive surgery that would require them to discontinue medications like blood thinners. Some patients have multiple units of crown and bridgework and do not want to risk exposing the crown margins with the recession most often associated with flap and osseous surgery. For others, the issue might be the fear of pain surrounding an invasive procedure like traditional osseous surgery. Dr. Davis takes all these concerns into consideration when evaluating a patient’s candidacy for laser gum surgery.

As periodontal disease reaches epidemic proportions in the United States and increasingly more evidence reveals a correlation between periodontitis and systemic diseases like heart disease, stroke, and diabetes, patient education is more critical than ever before. Periodontal therapy not only improves gingival health, but can improve the patient’s systemic health.

According to Dr. Davis, dental professionals need to be prepared to address patient concerns and provide them with information about all the treatment options available, including laser gum surgery.

Clinical research supporting the benefits of laser gum surgery and the LANAP® protocol continues to mount. Although each patient is different, Dr. Davis has found that his results confirm the findings in Dr. Marc Nevins’s study, A Prospective 9-Month Human Clinical Evaluation of Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure (LANAP) Therapy, which reported evidence of bone regeneration and new connective attachment after six months utilizing the LANAP® protocol.

For more information about LANAP® and other periodontal procedures, please call 239-330-4996 to schedule a consultation with Dr. Davis.

In Honor of Self-Improvement Month, Wayne, NJ Dentist Dr. Laurence C. Breiterman Educates Patients on a Less Invasive Gum Disease Treatment Option

Monday, September 29th, 2014

Wayne, NJ (PRWEB) September 23, 2014

September is Self-improvement Month, and a leading Wayne, NJ dentist takes this opportunity to introduce a safe and effective gum disease treatment that works without cutting or stitching of the delicate gum tissue. Dr. Laurence C. Breiterman explains to his patients that a truly healthy body requires a fully healthy mouth. Problems of oral health can contribute to overall health issues in surprising ways. But with LANAP® laser surgery, he is able to eliminate infected tissue caused by gum disease for his patients in as little as one simple office visit.

The FDA cleared LANAP® protocol involves a laser that Dr. Breiterman uses to target the diseased and damaged tissue that results from ongoing gum infection. Most patients report only mild discomfort and slight bleeding from the minimally invasive laser gum surgery. Now that there is a Wayne, NJ dentist able to perform the quick and effective procedure, area patients need not avoid gum disease treatment out of fear of a painful and invasive gum surgery experience.

For Self-improvement Month, Dr. Breiterman recommends that his patients consider treating gum disease as a good step toward overall health. Many recent studies have shown links between untreated periodontal disease and other health problems, such as increased risks of some types of cancers and heart disease. Even memory may be improved when active infection is eliminated from the mouth.

Researchers believe the infection that causes gum disease can potentially travel through the bloodstream to other parts of the body, where the bacteria can do different kinds of damage to bodily organs and systems. The best defense against the threat of damage from gum disease is to eliminate the infection, which Dr. Breiterman can do with the LANAP® protocol, and then keep the gums and teeth healthy with ongoing oral hygiene and regular dental care.

There is no time like Self-improvement Month to celebrate a healthy mouth and the contribution it can make to a healthy body. Learn more about Dr. Breiterman, the Wayne, NJ dentist who uses laser technology in gum disease treatment, on the web at http://www.newjerseygumsurgery.com or by phone at (973) 694-2835.
