What is Minimally Invasive Periodontal Therapy?
We offer minimally invasive periodontal regeneration, a treatment that involves reversing some of the damage done by gum disease. It involves promoting the regeneration of lost bone, periodontal ligament, and connective tissues. The procedure typically involves very small incisions, with the area of the surgery only focusing on localized, deeper periodontal pockets. We avoid making any unnecessary changes to unhealthy tissue, which can significantly shorten recovery time afterward. This approach is so conservative that some people come out of it feeling like nothing was done at all. Other minimally invasive procedures may be offered based on your needs.
What Can We Treat with Minimally Invasive Periodontal Therapy?
Minimally invasive periodontal therapy is used in cases of gum disease where damage has already been done to the gums as well as the underlying bone. Some cases are more severe than others, so we’ll have to consider how advanced your condition is along with the damage that needs to be repaired. We’ll recommend a minimally invasive approach whenever it’s viable, but there will be cases where more traditional treatments are better suited for your needs.
Benefits of Minimally Invasive Periodontal Therapy
While traditional periodontal surgery is faster, minimally invasive periodontal therapy is more comfortable. You’ll experience less discomfort during the procedure, and your mouth won’t need as much time to heal afterward. There’s also the aesthetic angle to consider, as the results of a minimally invasive treatment generally make it less obvious that you’ve had any treatment performed at all. Furthermore, as a periodontal office that focuses on a whole-body approach, we generally prefer conservative treatments in terms of protecting your overall health.
