Services
Laser Periodontal Therapy
Laser Periodontal Therapy (LANAP) treats gum disease using advanced laser technology to remove infected tissue and regenerate bone. This minimally invasive procedure promotes faster healing, reduces discomfort, and preserves healthy tissue. Ideal for patients seeking alternatives to traditional surgery, it restores oral health with precision and lasting results.
Periodontal Disease Treatment
Our periodontal treatments address bacterial infections affecting gums and supporting tooth structures. Services include scaling and root planing, pocket depth reduction, and regenerative therapies. We focus on halting disease progression, preventing tooth loss, and improving overall systemic health through comprehensive oral care.
Dental Implants
Dental implants provide permanent solutions for missing teeth, combining titanium posts with natural-looking crowns. This service restores chewing function, prevents bone loss, and enhances smiles. Our approach ensures long-term success through precise placement and integration with existing oral structures.
Biologic Testing
Biologic testing identifies specific periodontal pathogens to guide targeted treatment. Using DNA technology, we assess infection levels and tailor antibiotic therapies. This diagnostic tool improves treatment accuracy, monitors healing, and prevents reinfection by addressing the root cause of gum disease.
Pocket Depth Reduction
Pocket depth reduction eliminates deep gum pockets caused by periodontitis. By removing bacteria and reshaping tissue, we restore gum health and prevent further bone loss. This procedure reduces infection risks and supports long-term dental stability through improved oral hygiene access.

Questions
What is LANAP, and how does it treat gum disease?
LANAP (Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure) uses laser technology to remove infected gum tissue and regenerate bone without cutting or sutures. It offers faster healing, less discomfort, and proven long-term stability compared to traditional surgery.
Is periodontal disease contagious?
Research indicates periodontal bacteria can spread through saliva. The American Academy of Periodontology recommends family-wide screenings if one member is diagnosed to prevent transmission and ensure early intervention.
What happens during a first visit?
Your initial visit includes a comprehensive medical history review, oral exam, periodontal pocket measurements, and X-rays to assess bone health. Dr. Boretsky would develop a personalized treatment plan based on these findings.
How can I maintain results after treatment?
Regular dental cleanings, proper home care, and follow-up visits are critical. We provide tailored hygiene instructions and monitor progress to prevent reinfection and sustain long-term oral health.
Are financing options available?
Financing details were not specified in the provided text. We recommend contacting local providers or exploring third-party payment plans to support access to necessary periodontal care.
