Laser Gum Surgery in Brooklyn, Bensonhurst, Canarsie

Discover leading-edge technology and treatments at Marine Park Periodontics and Implantology. Millions of Americans suffer from periodontal disease, yet only a small number actually receive gum disease treatment. Periodontal disease has been linked to a variety of health complications including heart disease, pancreatic cancer, diabetes and low birth-weight babies. Periodontal disease is a national epidemic.

Until now the majority of gum disease treatment options included invasive surgery, which involves cutting the gum tissue and suturing it back together, or tooth extraction, dentures or dental implants. But the day has finally arrived when you do not have to fear or put off gum disease treatment! Our leading-edge treatments include:

• LANAP® surgery with Periolase® is the ONLY FDA-cleared protocol for the treatment of periodontitis! Laser gum surgery dramatically reduces pain, bleeding and discomfort while speeding recovery and saving teeth.

• Pinhole Surgical Technique™ (PST) is an incision-free procedure that involves a very small hole and special instruments to loosen gum tissue and move it over areas with gum recession.

• Sinus lift to correct insufficient bone tissue for the secure placement of teeth implants. A sinus lift is necessary to move the sinus where it is meant to be and place additional bone material sufficient to hold tooth implants.

• Sedation dentistry provides a relaxing, calming experience for patients who are afraid of going to the dentist and/or having dental procedures performed. Sedation dentistry includes intravenous (IV) sedation, oral sedation or nitrous oxide (“laughing gas”). This variety gives us the flexibility of three levels of sedation – minimal, moderate, and deep – depending on your level of anxiety.

• Scaling and root planing to remove tartar, plaque and bacteria from places you cannot reach with regular brushing and flossing.

• Tooth extraction

• Periodontal plastic surgery, crown lengthening

• Flap surgery
