Metropolitan Periodontists in Twin Cities Offer No Fear Gum Disease Treatment
Elias Kersten, DDS joins Mark Wilson, DDS; MS as a LANAP clinician, offering a less invasive treatment for gum disease sufferers in the Twin Cities area.
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. (PRWEB) October 27, 2017
Dr. Elias Kersten is now certified in the LANAP® protocol to treat gum disease and LAPIP™ protocol for ailing dental implants. An associate of long-time LANAP clinician Dr. Mark Wilson, Dr. Kersten is at the forefront of the future of dentistry, treating patients with the world's first and only FDA cleared laser treatment to re-grow bone. LANAP surgery is significantly less painful than traditional surgery options.
“Traditional periodontal therapy is effective, but the healing period can be uncomfortable and treatment often results in gum loss around teeth,” states Dr. Kersten. “I value any alternative treatment that is both less invasive and painful but still provides results that my patients and I can be happy with.”
LANAP treatment uses the PerioLase® MVP-7™ dental laser to target the bacteria and endotoxins causing gum disease. The laser energy vaporizes diseased tissue without harming or removing any healthy gum tissue, decreases pocket depth, and allows the body to recover from the chronic infection without the need for scalpel or sutures.
"The growing evidence for laser treatment of periodontal disease is promising and LANAP has led the charge in this field," Dr. Kersten continued. "As a relatively young practitioner, I'm excited to join Dr. Wilson as a LANAP clinician at Metropolitan Periodontists. I've seen Dr. Wilson's fantastic patient results using the protocol and am eager to see them in my own patients."
