At Nevada Dental Esthetics, we offer not only cosmetic dentistry to our Las Vegas patients but general dentistry services as well. Many people develop periodontal (gum) disease and don’t discover it until they have a dental check-up. This is one of the most important reasons to have check-ups every six months.
Gum disease is an infection of the tissues surrounding and supporting the teeth and is most often caused by plaque. Gingivitis is the beginning stage of gum disease, where the gums become red and swollen and have a tendency to bleed. In the more advanced stages, the gums and jawbone may suffer serious damage and teeth may be lost.
If you suspect you have periodontal disease, seek gum treatment in Las Vegas at Nevada Dental Esthetics right away. Call to schedule an appointment with Dr. Jorge Paez.
If you notice any of the following signs of gum disease, make an appointment in Las Vegas with Dr. Paez immediately:
Although some people may require surgery to correct problem gums, Dr. Paez always considers the less invasive alternatives first and one of those is a soft-tissue laser treatment.
The soft-tissue laser quickly vaporizes decayed tissue and bacterial toxins, and weakens tartar so that it can be easily removed. The extreme precision of the laser allows healthy tissue to remain and regenerate itself.
Laser treatment is especially suited for gum disease because the small size and flexibility of the fiber optic delivery system gives Dr. Paez access even to the smallest bacterial hideouts. The use of lasers in dentistry is far-reaching and touches just about every aspect of dentistry.
Lasers are much more accurate than traditional use of a scalpel or drill in dental surgery. Dental lasers provide:
“Dr. Paez is the kindest and most gentle dentist I have ever been to in my life. The office staff has always been very nice to me too. I have been a patient for may years and hope to remain a patient for may years to come.”
Don’t delay a trip to the dentist if you notice signs of periodontal disease. Please contact our Las Vegas office immediately if you need periodontal therapy for gum disease, by calling or emailing us to schedule an appointment. If left untreated, gum disease can cause further damage and serious dental problems, such as the loss of your teeth. At Nevada Dental Esthetics, we help patients in Summerlin, Spring Valley and other nearby communities in the Las Vegas area avoid that fate!
