Gum Disease can be a slow, but damaging disease effecting the gums and the bones that hold the teeth in place. Most people don't know that they have gum disease, but according to many studies and the World Health Organization, 85% of the adult population has some form of gum disease. This number is staggering, but most people don't know it. Out of that number, the majority don't seek any dental care.
With so many people with gum disease, this should be a much bigger problem. A lot of people don't want to get their gum disease treated since they think that it involves pain and expense. They are wrong!
With new advances in lasers, there are many treatments for gum disease that can be treated with lasers and have little to no pain. Because of the technique, some times the costs can be a savings, not only in the procedure itself, but because the post operative time is so much easier than traditional procedures, getting back to work is much faster.
If you have gum disease and need some treatment, look for specially trained periodontists, experts in gum disease, who have specialized LANAP training. Just because someone has a laser, doesn't mean they can treat gum disease effectively.
We not only are specially trained in LANAP procedures, but many other forms of gum disease treatments. Our areas of expertise are gum disease treatments, gum grafting, laser treatment, bone grafting, dental implants, and bone rebuilding for dental implants. If you have questions, contact Dr. Robin D. Henderson, and Dr. Chris Poore for any concerns about dental implants or gum disease in Oklahoma.
