CHATTANOOGA, Tenn.,
Dec. 13, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ --
Periodontists Drs. Charles Felts and
Elizabeth Felts Randall help
patients suffering from gum disease in Chattanooga, TN receive gentle care through
modern, minimally invasive laser dentistry. By incorporating LANAP®
laser gum disease treatment into their practice, Drs. Felts and
Randall provide effective gum disease care without the need for
scalpels, sutures, or invasive discomfort.
LANAP is revolutionary for treating gum disease with a simple,
gentle laser light that can both eliminate the infection and heal
the gums. There are no painful, anxiety-inducing tools required for
this procedure. Patients who typically fear drills, needles,
scalpels, or dental sounds and smells have been found to have a
much more comfortable experience with LANAP.
Drs. Felts and Randall use the PerioLase® MVP-7™ laser, the only
FDA cleared laser for gum disease treatment. The LANAP treatment
works by removing diseased gum tissue and leaving healthy cells
undisrupted. This allows new and healthy gum tissue to reattach to
the tooth root, reducing the risk of bone and tooth loss. The
technique kills up to 99 percent of disease-causing bacteria
without any cutting or sutures.
"LANAP is effective against the bacteria that causes gum disease
and against inflamed infected tissue," Dr. Felts explains. "This
doesn't remove any of your healthy gum, it removes only the
diseased gum and kills the bacteria that causes gum disease.
Because it is a very small area and is targeted specifically, there
is not nearly as much post-operative discomfort, and the laser
light encourages post-operative healing of the gums."
Gum disease is an infection of the gum tissues by bacteria that
is not cleaned away. These bacteria make the gums red, swollen,
easy to bleed, and cause gums to pull away from the teeth, often
leading to tooth sensitivity and loose teeth. If not properly
cleansed, gum disease can advance to eventually cause complete
tooth loss and can even spread infection to other parts of the
body. Periodontists like Drs. Felts and Randall are experienced and
trained in the diagnosis, management, and treatment of gum disease
in order to save patient smiles and overall health.
In addition to leading periodontal care, Chattanooga
Periodontics and Dental Implants offers patients dental implant
placement, occlusal adjustment, and oral plastic surgery. With
these procedures, Drs. Felts and Randall can help patients rebuild
their mouth to improve both aesthetics and function. Patients who
suffer from dental fear can also receive modern sedation dentistry
to relive pain and dental anxiety. This includes soothing IV
sedation, which both periodontists are certified to administer.
