Through Dr. Karande’s elite biological periodontal revitalization program, we focus on eliminating harmful bacteria and the pathogens/germs responsible for periodontal disease. This progressive condition is characterized by gingival inflammation, infection, and tissue damage, as it initiates a process whereby the supportive tissues that hold your teeth in place are gradually eroded. As the disease marches on without treatment, your teeth may shift and become loose in their sockets. Advanced gum disease may result in irreversible damage and tooth loss. Dr. Karande also provides gentle, non-invasive techniques and biocompatible/tissue-friendly therapies that address the root causes of periodontal disease and promote natural healing of the gums.

As gum disease progresses, spaces form between the gums and teeth. This process of gum recession can give your smile a “long in the tooth” appearance, as more of the white parts of the teeth are exposed. Nature’s “healer,” ozone, may be introduced to these spaces or periodontal pockets. In doing so, we disinfect the pockets, eliminate bacteria, reduce inflammation, and encourage healing.

Lasers present a conservative, tissue-preserving, and well-tolerated alternative to conventional surgical techniques. Traditionally, these periodontal therapies involved cutting techniques and instruments like scalpels. The more invasive nature of these therapies meant there was a greater risk of side effects and complications (like discomfort and bleeding), as well as a longer recovery time. With lasers, the device never touches any tissue. This makes for a particularly non-invasive process. The energy from the laser is also directed toward the tissues that need the treatment the most, which supports precision therapy and a safe experience.
