Laser Bacterial Reduction (LBR) Therapy

Periodontal diseases are the biggest oral health concern. It affects the tooth surrounding tissues such as gums, bones, and supporting structures. Oral bacteria are the primary causes of gums inflammation, bad breath, or even tooth mobility in later stages. Conventional dental approaches like scaling and curettage can remove the dental bacteria and hard deposits from the tooth surfaces. These interventions required a long treatment time and multiple visits. Likewise, a new emerging dental technology, laser bacterial reduction (LBR) therapy is used to treat periodontal diseases. The advantages or benefits of LBR render it superior to other traditional dental approaches. Brookline Dentist professionally utilizes the LBR for periodontal diseases and bacterial reduction.

The Benefits of LBR for Periodontal Therapy

Non-invasive Treatment

Scaling and curettage are procedures that and remove the bacteria from the infected tissues. These are quite invasive procedures that can cause some discomfort during and in the post-healing phase. While Laser Bacterial Reduction Therapy is a non-invasive, friendly procedure without any discomfort or pain.

Rapid Healing

The post healing time for LBR is significantly shorter than other treatment modalities. Since Laser Bacterial Reduction Therapy did not remove the healthy oral tissues, fast healing and dental attachment are possible after few days. The patients do not need any additional care after a periodontal disease treatment or bacterial elimination.

Few Dental Visits

Laser Bacterial Reduction Therapy required only a few dental visits and a short setting time. Time-saving is another benefit of LBR. Brookline Dentist employs specialist dentists and staff to conduct the LBR safely and with less chairside time. No anesthesia and patient preparation are necessary before the Laser Bacterial Reduction Therapy.

Patient Acceptance

Laser Bacterial Reduction Therapy is a patient-friendly approach. Most patients show reluctance for scaling and curettage, but they feel more comfortable with LBR. Because it’s a pain-free and rapid technique for perinodal disease. It gently removes the infected bacterial tissues and debris.

Effective for Full Mouth

The LBR is equally effective for selective teeth segments or entire mouth therapy. It is beneficial in both generalized and localized periodontitis or gingivitis. Laser Bacterial Reduction Therapy can remove the supragingival and subgingival calculus that is not apparent in the oral cavity. It is also useful for treating other dental problems such as oral ulcers, bleeding gums, calculus, and tooth mobility.

I drive over an hour from Cape Cod for all my dental work because Dr. Kovtun is one of the few Biological dentists around. Not only is he a master at dentistry but he offers a healthier holistic approach to oral health that is so important to me. Often times, conventional dentists overlook at the importance or how oral health effects the entire body. He and his staff are super nice and I'm glad I found them!! Read More

Have been a patient here for quite a while now. It was hard to find a dentist that I trusted in the area, but I've really enjoyed this practice. They tend to be conservative with their assessment, which I really value - no unnecessary treatments, and my teeth feel and look great. Read More

Dr. Kovtun is great. I chipped my 7-year molar, and he was able to fit me in the very next morning! He safely, quickly, and painlessly removed my old amalgam filling and prepped my tooth with a temporary fix while I wait for a beautiful new permanent one. He is knowledgeable, informative, and accomodating. The staff is super-competent and friendly. I will definitely be scheduling other dental procedures here. Excellent, excellent, excellent!!
