- Dr. Joseph R. Nemeth & Associates: A Healthy Body Starts With a Healthy Smile
- Periodontics is a specialty within the field of dentistry that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of periodontal (gum) diseases. It is a specialty that meets a widespread need. Periodontal disease strikes three out of four people and causes 70 percent of all adult tooth loss. Frequently painless, it is a disease that can often be detected only by a dentist or dental hygienist.

Did you know that fewer than 50% of all people in the U.S. see a dentist regularly?
Most people who avoid the dentist do so out of fear. To help fearful patients overcome their anxiety, sedation dentistry is available at Dr. Nemeth's practice.
Conscious sedation dentistry allows Drs. Nemeth, Becker and Katranji to perform the work you need while you relax. They can accomplish in one visit what might otherwise have taken several appointments. Gum treatment, implant placement, smile enhancement, and other procedures can be completed while you relax comfortably.
Laser Technology Gives Periodontal Patients in Michigan Another Treatment Option
Dr. Nemeth & Associates acquires the Millenium Periolase Laser
Recently we acquired the Millennium PerioLase laser. This is our latest generation of the Nd:YAG laser and is designed specifically to treat periodontal (gum) disease. Like LASIK surgery for the eyes, this patented and FDA-approved laser therapy allows us to treat the disease in a minimally invasive procedure, in some cases eliminating the need for conventional periodontal cut and suture surgery.
In 1990, Dr. Nemeth became one of the first periodontists in the nation to use lasers. In fact, the first dental laser was invented by a Birmingham Michigan company. While the early dental lasers were very limited in what they could do, dental lasers such as the state-of-the-art Millenium PerioLase can now be used effectively to reach down into the pockets to help eliminate inflammed tissue and destroy bacteria.
Also like LASIK eye surgeons who need more than one laser to treat different eye problems, we have several other lasers for treatment. Each has its own distinct wavelength, and each is particularly suited for certain procedures.
Laser surgery provides another treatment option when scaling and root planing is not enough and patients either do not want or are not good candidates for conventional surgery. Now we can often save teeth that we would have extracted in the past. For many patients, laser surgery may provide a realistic alternative with comparable results.
The patient benefits of laser therapy can include less pain, recession, bleeding, and root sensitivity, as well as minimal swelling and downtime after treatment. We can achieve all these benefits in onlyl one visit since the laser therapy usually includes scaling during the same visit. Of course, like conventional treatment, maintenance visits will be necessary following laser treatment.
An additional benefit of laser surgery is the antibacterial effect that helps to disinfect periodontal pockets. The new Millennium PerioLase laser is designed to target the bad, black-pigmented bacteria and is able to vaporize these bacteria and help eliminate them.
For patients who are concerned about conventional surgery for periodontal disease, the new laser treatment can be a life-changing event. Patients can save their teeth, preserve their nateral smiles and avoid some potentially life-threatening systemic effects of bacteria from untreated periodontal disease. Laser treatment gives these patients another option.
If you would like to find out more about using laser therapy to treat periodontal disease Michigan and to help save your teeth and smile, contact our office at 248.357.3100 or through our website at www.drnemeth.com to schedule a consultation apointment.
