Palms West Periodontal Now Offering Fotona Lightwalker Laser Dentistry for Greater Patient Comfort and Faster Healing
(ROYAL PALM BEACH, FL – July 1, 2019) – Dr. Lauren Shack, DDS, is pleased to announce that Palms West Periodontal, located in Royal Palm Beach, is offering Fotona Lightwalker Laser Dentistry to clients. The Fotona Laser offers a broad range of applications including laser periodontal procedures and aesthetic treatments called SmoothLase, LipLase and NightLase. Dr. Shack performs minimally invasive laser procedures, frequently without scalpels or sutures, resulting in reduced pain and swelling and a faster recovery time.
“I want my patients to be as comfortable and relaxed as possible,” explained Dr. Shack, a Diplomate of the American Board of Periodontology, and the owner and founder of Palms West Periodontal. “The Fotona Lightwalker Laser is capable of delivering safe, effective soft tissue periodontal treatments. This exclusive laser is actually two lasers in one, unlike other dental lasers available today. The laser can assist with or even replace traditional periodontal surgical procedures.”
Dr. Shack continued, “It is well documented that inflammation plays a key role in the development of multiple health problems and diseases. Oral inflammation from gum disease can be effectively treated by the Fotona Laser, resulting in a healthy mouth and body.”
SmoothLase is a non-invasive laser treatment for facial lines and wrinkles. It is performed inside the mouth with no anesthetic needed. The laser tightens the tissues and results in a smoother, more youthful appearance.
LipLase is a non-invasive laser lip-plumping procedure that stimulates collagen. Uneven lips may also be treated to make them appear balanced.
Dr. Shack also offers NightLase® therapy. “Snoring and sleep disturbances are often signs of obstructive sleep apnea, a common condition. Patients may be candidates for NightLase® therapy, which is a non-invasive, patient-friendly laser treatment for increasing the quality of your sleep,” said Dr. Shack.
Laser treatments include minimally invasive periodontal therapy to eliminate bacteria from diseased toth roots and implants, tooth extraction assistance, exposure of impacted teeth, frenectomies including Tongue-Tie, oral biopsies, removing excess gum to treat a gummy smile, removal of gum pigmentation and teeth whitening. “Low Light Laser Therapy” is also used at the completion of many procedures to reduce swelling and discomfort, resulting in a faster recovery.
In her state-of-the-art office overlooking the serene waters of Challenger Lake, Dr. Shack offers patients many non-surgical and surgical treatments for a range of periodontal (gum) conditions. Dr. Shack is one of a small number of periodontists trained and certified to perform the Chao Pinhole Surgical Technique® (PST) for receding gums. PST is a minimally invasive procedure to treat gum recession requiring no incisions and no suturing, with little to no discomfort. “The Pinhole Surgical Technique is effective in treating single or multiple receded teeth in one visit,” said Dr. Shack. “Patients are able to resume most normal activities within a day.”
Dr. Shack serves the communities of Royal Palm Beach, Wellington, Acreage, Loxahatchee, Greenacres, Belle Glade, Clewiston, Lake Worth, Boynton Beach, Palm Beach Gardens, and West Palm Beach.
