Essential Gum Care for Optimal Oral Health
Laser Dentistry
Laser dentistry is known to be the latest technological
advancement in dentistry. It is used for soft tissue surgery, cutting, and
sterilizing with the benefit of no anesthetic needed. Laser dentistry
helps to make dental treatments more comfortable, reduces bleeding during gum
line and periodontal disease surgeries and assists to decrease swelling,
infection and post treatment pain. The laser is used to apply a small
amount of light energy between the gum and tooth in the affected area. The
laser energy removes the diseased tissue on the inside of the pocket and helps
reduce bacteria. Finally, the laser initiates a healing process, resulting
in regenerative new attachment and optimal healing and repair.
Dr. Cherkas has established an excellent periodontal program that has helped
many patients avoid tooth loss and maintain healthier bone levels. He offers
gentle, comprehensive nonsurgical gum care and a soft-tissue program that has
