I have PERIODONTAL DISEASE!
Wait! don’t panic, it is not as bad as you think but it could be if untreated.Now you may not be as lucky as i was, that’s because i was medically examined and treated by Dr Scott K. McGavin D.M.D West Jordan Family Dentistry.
I don’t know why they call the dentistry “family dentistry” but one thing remains incontrovertible, Dr McGavin and the entire team sure treats you as FAMILY. This may not mean much to you, but as an immigrant from Nigeria, West Africa, being treated as FAMILY at West Jordan Family Dentistry was indeed unprecedented and it means everything to me and my family.
Thank you Dr Scott McGavin for all the very detailed examinations, treatments and professional insight towards helping us prioritize our oral health.

How Laser Gum Therapy Enhances Your Gum Health
Laser Gum Therapy utilizes focused light energy to precisely target bacterial infections and reduce inflammation in gum tissues. This state-of-the-art approach not only addresses gum disease but also promotes the reattachment of gum tissue, a crucial factor in recovery. By minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue, laser treatment aids in quicker recovery times, allowing patients to return to their daily lives sooner. For those suffering from periodontal issues, this treatment provides a viable alternative to traditional surgical methods. Laser gum therapy may offer a less invasive alternative to traditional surgical methods, often resulting in reduced discomfort and faster healing times.
What to Expect from Laser Gum Treatment
During your laser gum treatment session at our West Jordan office, you can expect a thorough examination of your gum health. Using advanced laser technology, we will target diseased tissue with precision, often resulting in little to no discomfort. Patients report a significantly reduced recovery time compared to conventional methods, with optimal results seen within days. Our lead dentist, Dr. Parker B. DeMille, DMD, a recognized professional in laser treatments, ensures that you feel informed and comfortable as we walk you through every step of the procedure.
Exploring Laser Periodontal Therapy Benefits
Laser periodontal therapy offers numerous benefits, including:
- Minimized gum impact during treatment
- Reduced need for invasive surgical procedures
- Effective gum pocket reduction
- Enhanced bone regrowth and gum tissue reattachment
- Quick recovery times, often within just 24 hours
For residents of West Jordan and neighboring communities, this advanced therapy represents a step forward in periodontal care, allowing for better oral hygiene and long-term gum health. Integrating laser gum therapy into periodontal treatment plans can lead to improved patient outcomes and satisfaction due to its precision and minimally invasive nature.
The Role of LANAP in Gum Disease Management
A standout technique within the scope of Laser Gum Therapy is LANAP, or Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure. This specialized method not only eliminates harmful bacteria but also stimulates new bone growth, addressing one of the major concerns in gum disease management: bone loss. By integrating LANAP into your treatment plan, we aim to create an environment conducive to healing and regeneration of gum tissues. With training in advanced laser techniques, Dr. DeMille provides personalized care tailored to your needs.
Comparing Laser Treatment to Traditional Approaches
When contrasting laser therapy with traditional treatments like scaling, root planing, and deep cleaning, the benefits of laser methods become evident:
- Less discomfort and swelling
- Minimal recovery time
- Precision targeting of diseased tissues
- Lower risk of infection
- Improved overall results with fewer dental visits
Our commitment to utilizing the latest technology aligns with a patient-focused philosophy, making laser treatments a preferred choice for many.

Following your laser gum treatment, maintaining optimal oral hygiene is vital for achieving lasting results. Our West Jordan team will provide personalized care instructions tailored to your specific needs. Regular follow-ups may include professional cleanings and monitoring healing progress to ensure your gums continue to thrive.
