Surgical Periodontal Services in Bloomington

Restoring periodontal health sometimes requires surgical treatment. Chronic periodontal (gum) disease can damage the support structures for the teeth, including the gums and jaw bone. This damage can often be repaired or reversed with periodontal treatment. Advancements in technology include dental lasers that are designed to target diseased and damaged tissue with greater accuracy.

• Relief from gum disease symptoms. The biggest benefit of periodontal care is that it treats existing gum disease to eliminate the infection and resulting symptoms.
• Prevention of recurring gum disease. Surgical periodontal care can reduce the risk of gum disease recurrences.
• May save the natural teeth. In many cases surgical periodontal care can save your natural teeth, allowing them to remain in place and fully supported.
• Improved comfort and faster recovery. The use of dental lasers for surgical periodontal procedures improves comfort and accelerates recovery for patients.

• Periodontal Regeneration. Periodontal (gum) tissue may be lost due to gum disease, but regeneration of lost tissue is possible with the right treatment.
  • Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure (LANAPⓇ). This technique uses a dental laser to eliminate damaged tissue and encourage the gums to reattach more firmly to the roots of the teeth. We are considered a Lanap center and Dr. Noraian is a LANAP instructor.
  • Guided Tissue Regeneration. Procedures such as bone grafting can encourage new bone tissue growth to replace what was lost.
  • Growth Factors. Growth factors are naturally occurring substances in the body that stimulate healing and growth. These can be used to regenerate lost periodontal and bone tissue.
• Pocket Reduction Surgery. Gum disease can cause damage to the jaw bone, creating pockets between the tooth and bone. Pocket reduction surgery eliminates these open spaces, preventing plaque bacteria from being able to get under the gums and cause an infection.
