In addition to keeping your pearly whites clean, regular dental check ups help preserve your natural teeth as long as possible ‒ and save money by identifying any issues early. Don’t make the mistake of waiting to schedule a dental appointment until you think something is wrong.

Laser Treatments
Laser treatments are an addition to the periodontal treatments received at POD. These treatments promote quicker healing of inflammation in the gums, and are minimally invasive.
The treatment is completed with a fine-tipped instrument that is placed into the pocket.
Laser Bacterial reduction
During laser bacterial reduction, dental soft tissue lasers are used to destroy harmful bacteria in the oral cavity that cause inflammation and periodontal pocketing.
Best used during:
Laser Degranulation
Treats areas of significant inflammation and diseased tissue. With the goal of reducing pocket measurements, this procedure removes necrotic tissue from the sulcus and stimulates healthy tissue to reform.
