WHY IS LPT better?

LPT^TM is about as easy as erasing a blackboard — there’s no cutting and no suturing.

There's much less discomfort with LASER PERIODONTAL THERAPY^TM than with standard surgery -- during and after the procedure.

It takes less time than traditional surgery. All it takes is two 2-hour visits to the dentist and two follow up visits. Traditional surgery requires four sessions of about one hour each, with subsequent visits for suture removal and additional check-ups.

LPT^TM gives better, longer-lasting results. In fact, 98% of LPT^TM treated patients remain stable after five years, while only 5% reportedly remain stable after surgery.

Your dentist will probably recommend a soft diet for a day or two, and common sense should prevail, but in most cases, patients feel good enough to eat anything they want right after the procedure.

Following traditional surgery, recovery can take between to 2-4 weeks during which patients can experience considerable pain and swelling, where they may be restricted to liquid or soft diets.

There's less than 24 hour recovery period, so you won't lose time from work.

LASER PERIODONTAL THERAPY^TM is safe for patients with health concerns such as diabetes, HIV, hemophilia, or those taking medications such as Coumadin or Cyclosporin.
