Periodontitis - Gingivitis Treatment AdvancesNearly all adults have heard or know, first hand, that gum disease for adults is as routine as cavities are for children. In terms of raw statistics, about 70 percent of adults will have gingivitis or periodontitis (advanced stage).
Recognizing it early is difficult (almost symptom free) and getting treatment for it when it is finally diagnosed and recommended is equally... perhaps more difficult for many adults.Gum Therapies We Prefer to AvoidFor years and years, routine gum therapies have typically conjured up images of manual scraping and planing of diseased teeth, roots and gum tissues.If someone has sensitive gums it is not surprising that avoiding treatment that involves the dentist poking around with an explorer (that painful, pointy thing). And then, cleaning off plaque and calculus build up isn't exactly a picnic. 
So.... avoiding this kind of perceived abuse... while actually quite normal for most folks... is primarily the reason gum disease is significant for adults and will eventually lead to deep gum pockets, receding gums, eventual bone loss and ultimately multiple losses of teeth.New Non Invasive Laser TherapiesDr. Scalzitti was one of the first dentists in Austin to incorporate the only dental laser that is designed specifically for making gum treatments a simple, near "non-event" experience.A laser technology that is based on years and years of research conducted by Millennium Dental, Dr. Scalzitti's laser selectively removes diseased tissue while enhancing healthy tissue. Painful. manual cutting of tissues is eliminated. Unexcelled EfficiencyIn most of our severe gum disease treatment programs, treatment of ALL affected tissues are completed in ONE appointment. The patient leaves the office free of diseased tissue with none of the discomfort associated with gum surgeries, suturing or invasive scraping of teeth and root structures.As an established sedation specialist, Dr. Scalzitti assures that each and every patient is comfortable during treatment and is typically unaware of the treatment protocol. Patient Post Operative CommentsOur patients echo the same comments made by other patients, nationwide, who have been treated with the Perio Lase technology: "best gum treatment I have ever had" (patients who had had traditional therapies) or "no discomfort during or after treatment."LANAP ResultsThe patented Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure treatment protocol produces results that vary only in thoroughness... depending upon the treatment need and existing degree of disease.In general terms, although the LANAP protocol faciliates periodontal tissue regeneration and reattachment to bone, the level or height of healthy bone plays a determining role in how stable the new attacments become. Loose Teeth Becoming Firm
Treated early where bone loss is at a minimum, the LANAP procedure can create the regeneration of periodontal ligaments that create firm, solid tooth structures. In cases where bone loss appears to be significant, bone grafting or dental implants may be the best treatment for reaffirming or replacing certain tooth structures. The Next StepDr. Scalzitti's laser expertise and supportive treatment protocols can easily assure that any patient needing or inquiring about gum disease treatments will learn that today's technologies make periodontal disease treatment effortless.Avoidance and "treatment fears" are a thing of the past. Patients who have had ample time to develop a sizeable "dental phobia" will discover that their phobic response will likely not occur within our practice. Questions about our periodontal services or a particular treatment interest not found on our site can be addressed to Dr. Scalzitti during a Complimentary Consultation which can be scheduled on-line or by calling us at (512) 263-3330. Dr. Scalzitti can also be contacted more directly through our on-line Ask The Dentist form. You will receive a reply directly from the doctor.
