Overcome Periodontal Disease with Laser Dentistry

Laser Treatment for Periodontal Pockets in Colorado Springs CO Area

During your dental exam, you receive the news from the dentist that you have gum disease. While no one wants to hear they have a gum infection, several treatments are available to restore total health to your gums. Among other gum disease therapies, Mark H. Wright DDS offers laser dentistry to combat periodontal disease.

Understanding Gum Disease

Gum disease starts like a joke. If you neglect your oral health for a few days, food particles mix with bacteria and saliva to form plaque that clings to your teeth. Plaque offers a suitable environment for harmful bacteria to grow and multiply. These bacteria secrete toxic substances that inflame your gums, resulting in swelling and redness.

If plaque isn’t removed, it’s only a matter of time before it hardens into tartar, which causes periodontitis—a more advanced form of gum disease. Periodontitis not only compromises your soft tissues but also penetrates the jawbone, resulting in tooth loss.

Using Lasers to Treat Gum Disease

The standard treatment for mild to moderate gum disease is a deep cleaning, which involves scaling to remove plaque and tartar below and above your gums. Your dentist also smooths your tooth roots to discourage the growth of harmful bacteria. Additionally, dentists and periodontists use surgical options to treat advanced periodontal disease.

Thanks to technological advancements, your dentist can treat gum disease with non-invasive methods. Dentists use periodontal lasers to access and remove the infected tissue while leaving healthy tissues intact. Furthermore, lasers remove deep-seated plaque and tartar in deep gum pockets. After laser treatment, your mouth heals and regenerates to regain its former vibrancy.

  • Safe
  • Minimally invasive
  • Eliminates gum disease-causing bacteria
  • Results in reduced recovery time

COVID-19 Patient Safety Policy

To my valued patients,

After great deliberation, I have made the decision to close the office effective March 19th. We will continue to see patients this week, but as things continue to change rapidly, that date may change. I care deeply about all of you, as well as my team. In order to keep everyone healthy and safe, we will only be seeing patients on an emergency basis. I will always be available, and you may reach me on my cell phone for any emergency. If we had an appointment scheduled for you, and we haven’t been able to make contact, please call our office to reschedule.

You may reach us at dr.wright@markhwrightdds.com or call (719) 635-1622.

Thank you all for your understanding. We will see you as soon as we can.

-Dr. Wright
