How Does Laser Periodontal Treatment benefit me?

Laser Periodontal Therapy in Long Island offers numerous advantages over traditional periodontal surgery, including:

What is Wavelength Optimized Periodontal Therapy?

WPT™ is Wavelength Optimized Periodontal Therapy, which is a minimally invasive method for treating periodontal disease utilizing Nd:YAG and ER: YAG laser energy. These are two proven wavelengths with extremely different clinical and therapeutic abilities which are used in tangent to achieve new levels of success in the battle against periodontal disease and to protect your health.

How Does Wavelength Optimized Periodontal Therapy Work?

Wavelength Optimized Periodontal Therapy creates the optimal conditions for healing of diseased periodontal pockets by:

The Lightwalker laser periodontics treatment that Dr. Sachs uses is the only dental laser capable of delivering both Nd:YAG and Er:YAG laser energy for the efficient performance of Wavelength Optimized Periodontal Therapy. Utilizing both wavelengths in a periodontal disease treatment protocol makes optimum use of each laser wavelength's unique laser-tissue interaction characteristics. For example, Nd:YAG laser energy is superior for coagulation and deep disinfection and biostimulation, while the Er:YAG is uniquely efficient at ablating (vaporizing) hard and soft tissues (such as tartar removal and removal of bacterial biofilm) and attacking bacteria and pathogens that lack pigmentation. Combined, they can dramatically improve the outcome of laser-assisted treatments, with the ability to achieve impressive clinical results, and with dramatically improved patient comfort. Other lasers used for periodontal therapy have only one wavelength and do not have the comprehensive capability and versatility of the Lightwalker laser.

Will my insurance covers laser periodontal treatment?

Insurance coverage is generally available for periodontal treatment, including laser periodontics treatment. To determine your coverage level, we generally submit a pre-treatment estimate to your insurance company so that you know ahead of time what portion of the fee your insurance company covers and what your co-payments are for laser periodontics treatment.
