Some of the laser therapy options available at Baton Rouge Periodontics & Implants include:
LANAP treatments use a laser to remove diseased tissues and stimulate your body’s natural ability to heal itself and regenerate new gum tissue.
During LAPIP procedures, the laser can treat failing dental implants. The laser creates an environment better suited for regenerating tissues around teeth lost due to periodontal disease (gum disease). It regenerates ligaments, cementum, gum tissues, and bone.
Crown lengthening uses a laser to remove excess gum tissue, increase the length of exposed teeth, and improve the appearance of your gumline.
After you undergo laser therapy, it’s important to follow your Baton Rouge Periodontics & Implants provider’s instructions to ensure proper healing.
They may recommend you use antimicrobial rinses or antibiotic medicines to reduce the risk of infection. You can expect little to no discomfort following laser treatment, but you might take over-the-counter pain-reducing medicines or rinse your mouth with warm salt water as directed.
Avoid brushing, flossing, or placing pressure on the treatment area until given the OK. Begin following a liquid diet, followed by a soft food diet, during the healing process. Avoid crunchy, hard, and spicy foods until your mouth heals, and drink plenty of fluids.
You might notice tissue changes, slight swelling, mild bleeding, tenderness, tooth sensitivity, or a medicinal taste temporarily after laser therapy.
Call the Baton Rouge Periodontics & Implants office if you have concerns or questions while healing from laser therapy, and attend follow-up visits as needed.
