Periodontal Dentist in San Bruno, California

Are you looking for comfortable, non-invasive treatment for periodontal problems?

Dr. Parker treats periodontal infections with advanced, innovative treatments for gum disease.

Periodontal disease (often called gum disease) is an infection of the gum and surrounding tissue. Throughout the day, plaque forms on your teeth and gums—plaque is a sticky film of bacteria and sugars. Eventually plaque can calcify into tartar, which sits on the teeth. Only a professional dental cleaning can effectively remove tartar buildup. So without proper daily home-care combined with professional dental cleanings, gum tissue can become infected with bacteria.

In time, this infection can spread to surrounding tissue, and affect bone and tooth health. Severe infections escalate to cause bone deterioration and tooth loss. Additionally, gum disease is a frequent cause of bad breath. Periodontal problems are especially problematic because the bacteria associated with gum disease can negatively affect other parts of your body. Gum disease increases your risk of heart disease and diabetes.

Our office treats gum disease using LANAP (Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure) from the doctors of Ameridontics. LANAP offers a patient friendly alternative to gum surgery. This revolutionary treatment utilizes the latest laser technology to gently treat gum disease. LANAP is a patented FDA cleared technology that produces results!

With LANAP you can effectively treat periodontal problems with:

no surgical cutting, no stitches, and no fear!

a much shorter recovery time!

Plus LANAP is less expensive than traditional periodontal procedures, and covered under most dental insurance plans.
