Laser Gum Disease Therapy

Periodontal disease is the most common reason why patients experience loose teeth in the Irvine, CA region. Dr. Todd E. Miller and Dr. Steven J. Bounds are using state of the art laser therapy to successfully treat gum disease and strengthen the jaw bone so loose teeth are no longer a problem. 

Treating Periodontal Disease and Preventing Loose Teeth

The signs of gum disease may seem subtle at first but can worsen and cause serious damage to the teeth and gums without professional periodontal treatment. Removing the bacteria that causes periodontal disease with daily brushing and flossing is the best way to prevent oral infections, along with regular dental checkups and cleanings.

If you already have periodontal disease, treating it early is key to preventing additional loss of gum tissue, bone, and teeth. Periodontal disease creates a harmful domino effect: once bacteria infect the gums, soft connective tissue starts to pull away from the tooth surfaces and supporting bone is destroyed, which puts teeth in danger of becoming lost. If teeth are lost, further bone loss follows because in order to stay healthy, bone depends on the stimulation that tooth roots provide.

Laser Gum Therapy Kills Bacteria and Saves Teeth

For moderate to severe cases of periodontal disease, Dr. Miller and Dr. Bounds use laser therapy. Laser is an effective way to kill bacteria between the teeth and gums without causing any significant harm to adjacent gum tissue. Laser also reinforces the jaw bone by stimulating new cell growth around existing teeth, greatly reducing the risk of tooth loss.

Dental Implants Replace Missing Teeth and Stop Bone Loss

If teeth do fall out or require an extraction, further bone loss will occur because the roots of the teeth are naturally designed to stimulate and keep the jaw healthy. Using dental implants to replace missing teeth stops bone loss, as they are rooted in the jaw bone and designed to deliver the same stimulation as tooth roots.
