Why Technology Matters in Your Care
Modern dental technology isn’t just about using the latest tools—it’s about improving your experience and results. At North Shore Periodontics and Implantology, we believe that advanced technology plays a vital role in providing high-quality care. From detailed imaging to minimally invasive treatments, our tools help us deliver excellent outcomes while making your visit as stress-free as possible.
CBCT and 3D Imaging
One of the most important tools we use is CBCT. This imaging technology provides detailed, 3D views of your teeth, gums, and jawbone. Unlike traditional X-rays, CBCT scans give us a complete picture of your oral structures, helping us identify issues that may not be visible otherwise.
This advanced imaging is especially helpful when planning procedures like dental implants. With CBCT, we can measure your bone density and determine the best placement for the implant to ensure long-term success. The 3D images also help us spot potential problems early, allowing us to address them before they become serious. For patients, CBCT means safer, more efficient treatments with fewer surprises.
LANAP: A Modern Solution for Gum Disease
Gum disease affects many adults, and untreated gum disease can lead to tooth loss and other serious health issues. At North Shore Periodontics and Implantology, we use LANAP (Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure) to treat gum disease in a minimally invasive way.
LANAP uses a specialized laser to remove harmful bacteria and damaged gum tissue. Unlike traditional gum surgery, which involves cutting and sutures, LANAP is much gentler. The laser targets infected tissue without harming healthy gums, reducing discomfort and speeding up recovery. LANAP also encourages your gums to heal and regenerate, giving you healthier gums and a better chance of keeping your natural teeth.
Laser Dentistry for Precise Treatments
In addition to LANAP, we use lasers for other dental procedures, such as crown lengthening and soft tissue surgery. Crown lengthening is a procedure where we reshape the gum tissue to expose more of a tooth’s surface. This is often necessary when placing a crown or to improve the appearance of a “gummy” smile.
Lasers allow us to perform these procedures with incredible precision, ensuring the best possible outcomes. Because laser dentistry is so precise, it typically results in less bleeding, less swelling, and faster recovery times compared to traditional methods. Patients often find laser treatments to be more comfortable both during and after the procedure.
When you choose us, you can feel confident knowing that we are committed to staying at the forefront of dental technology. Our goal is to provide effective, personalized care that supports your oral health and overall well-being.
