If you’ve been told that your only option for gum disease is “cutting and sewing,” you haven’t seen the latest advancements in modern periodontics. The landscape of dental care has shifted from invasive surgery to high-tech, regenerative medicine.
At Chula Vista Periodontics, we stay at the forefront of these breakthroughs. As the most sought-after office in the South Bay, we utilize a combination of lasers and biological growth factors to save teeth that were once considered “hopeless.”
The most significant “new” treatment isn’t a single pill, but a minimally invasive protocol called LANAP® (Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure). This technology has fundamentally changed the patient experience.
1. LANAP® Laser Gum Surgery
Unlike traditional osseous surgery, LANAP® uses a highly specific laser wavelength to target and vaporize only the diseased tissue and bacteria. It leaves your healthy gum tissue completely intact.
No Scalpel, No Sutures: Because there is no cutting, there is significantly less pain and swelling.
True Regeneration: This is the only FDA-cleared treatment proven to actually regenerate the bone around your natural teeth. If you are in the advanced stages of periodontal disease, this can be a life-saver for your smile.
2. Holistic PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) Therapy
We are now using your body’s own healing power to speed up recovery. By taking a small sample of your blood and concentrating the platelets, we create a PRF membrane.
Accelerated Healing: We place this “super-healer” directly into surgical sites or dental implant areas.
Reduced Infection Risk: It provides a natural barrier and a concentrated dose of growth factors. You can learn more about this on our holistic dentistry page.
3. Laser Scaling and Root Planing
Even our “deep cleanings” have received a high-tech upgrade. We now offer Laser Scaling and Root Planing. By using a laser to decontaminate the pockets, we can kill 99% of the bacteria that traditional hand instruments simply can’t reach. This is often the first step in gum disease treatment to stop bone loss in its tracks.
4. Guided Tissue & Bone Regeneration
When bone has already been lost, we no longer just “clean it and hope.” We use advanced guided tissue bone regeneration techniques. This involves using specialized membranes to “guide” your body into growing bone exactly where it’s needed, providing a stable foundation for your teeth or future implants.
