EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn.,
May 12, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/
-- Periodontist Dr. Andres
Sanchez participated in the recent University of Michigan School of Dentistry
Microsurgery Webinar Series to improve the efficacy of gum disease
and dental implant treatments available at his practice, PerioWest
in Eden Prairie, MN. The primary
course objective focused on a paradigm shift for periodontal and
implant-related surgeries leveraging the use of loupes or the
operating microscope with micro-instruments. Participants in the
courses learned the fundamental advantages of a minimally invasive
approach for wound healing and were introduced to a variety of
surgical procedures that can be accomplished with an operating
microscope, including intraoral hard- and soft-tissue
regeneration.
Dr. Sanchez participates in ongoing advanced training to enhance
his periodontal skills. As a highly skilled periodontist, Dr.
Sanchez has dedicated his practice in Eden Prairie, MN to placing dental implants
and treating gum disease using state-of-the-art techniques,
including PIEZOSURGERY® and LANAP®. He leverages proven, minimally
invasive techniques when he places dental implants that allow
patients to regain maximum use of their teeth while maintaining jaw
strength, a natural appearance, and restored function.
When it was introduced in 2001, PIEZOSURGERY revolutionized bone
surgery for periodontists and offered a host of benefits to
patients. This technology utilizes a patented, controlled 3D
ultrasonic vibration to precisely cut bone without penetrating
sinus membranes, gingival or soft nerve tissue. PIEZOSURGERY is an
ideal, more precise, and safer approach for treatment including
sinus lifts and alveolar ridge augmentation. "Because the cutting
action is less invasive, collateral tissue damage is minimal,
resulting in reduced postoperative pain and faster healing for our
patients," said Dr. Sanchez.
LANAP is a faster, gentler, non-invasive method for treating
problems associated with periodontal disease that is scalpel- and
suture-free. It is an FDA-approved laser gum disease treatment that
is proven to promote gum tissue regeneration. In the hands of
experienced periodontist Dr. Sanchez, the innovative laser enables
deep cleaning of periodontal pockets that have formed between a
patient's teeth and gums due to gum disease, while sparing healthy
tissue. Studies have shown that several months after LANAP
treatment, up to 99 percent of gum disease-causing bacteria in the
periodontal pockets is eliminated. Most patients see a significant
reduction in the depth of their pockets. The laser is
ultra-precise, which results in very little post-procedural loss of
tooth and bone structure and quicker recovery.
When left untreated, gum disease has many negative consequences
including tooth and bone loss, systemic infection, and an increased
risk of heart disease, diabetes, chronic respiratory disease,
dementia, and pregnancy complications. Some studies suggest
periodontal disease also significantly raises the risk of kidney,
pancreatic, and blood cancers in men. Dr. Sanchez provides quick
and efficient gum disease treatment in Eden Prairie, MN, allowing patients to improve
both their oral and overall health.
Individuals with tooth loss or gum disease in Eden Prairie, MN are encouraged to contact
PerioWest for a consultation with experienced periodontist Dr.
Sanchez to discuss PIEZOSURGERY, LANAP, or dental implants.
