Parkersburg, WV -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/11/2014 -- Dr. Richard Newhart is now accepting patients for Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure (LANAP). One of the most trusted gum treatment dentists in Parkersburg, Dr. Newhart keeps up to date with the latest and most effective dental surgery practices, and offers them to his patients as soon as he learns them.

LANAP has been shown to have numerous benefits over traditional surgical procedures. This revolutionary technique greatly reduces the discomfort the patient feels both during and after the procedure. Because the procedure requires no cutting or suturing, it is much easier to heal from LANAP.

LANAP is also more efficient than its predecessors because it takes less time to complete and requires fewer follow-up visits. While those with periodontal disease should continue their regular check-ups and clearings to prevent the return of an infection, their recovery from surgery will take much less time than the traditional four 1-hour follow-up sessions.

Many patients will recover in less than 24 hours and won't even have to miss a day of work. And because there is no cutting involved, the treatment is safe for patients who have diabetes, HIV, and hemophilia. Results have been shown to remain stable even after 5 years in 95% of patients.

Rather than relying on incisions and resection, LANAP uses regeneration techniques to restore tissue damaged by periodontal disease. By selectively removing diseased or infected pocket epithelium from underlying connective tissue, dentists in Parkersburg who use LANAP treatment effectively eliminate the problem tissue and have a minimal impact on the area.

Parkersburg, WV -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/12/2014 -- Dr. Richard Newhart, The Gum Dr., has announced the addition of Pinhole Surgical Technique to treat receding gums at his office serving Marietta and Parkersburg. This gentle treatment for gum recession was developed by world renowned dentist Dr. John Chao in an attempt to create a faster and less painful method for reversing receding gums.

Known for offering highly effective gum disease treatment in Parkersburg, Dr. Newhart acted quickly to get in on the ground floor with the new procedure of treating gum recession. Dr. Newhart recently attended one of Dr. Chao's surgical training seminars where Dr. Chao teaches the procedure to doctors from around the country and the world to reverse gum recession.

In Pinhole Surgical Technique, the Dr. Newhart creates a small pinhole in the gums with a needle and places specially designed instruments through it. He then uses the instruments to gently loosen the gum tissue, gliding it over to cover the receded part of the tooth again. The procedure is simple for experienced dentists in Parkersburg to learn, and takes only 1 to 2 hours to complete. There is no scalpel cutting or stitching necessary, and patients will experience minimal pain, swelling, and bleeding, and notice instant cosmetic improvement. Patients can expect to go back to work after gum recession surgery and get on with their lives the very next day.

Dr. Newhart is the first of all the gum specialists in West Virginia to offer this Pinhole recession treatment! Dr. Newhart invites patients with receding gums to come experience the difference with Pinhole Surgical Technique today.

Parkersburg, WV -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/19/2014 -- Dr. Richard Newhart is now offering laser frenectomy services for summer 2014. His office specializes in a laser based procedure that is far superior to past methods which required shots, stitches, and sutures, putting patients through a painful surgery and long recovery. Don't go to a doctor who is still using these archaic practices. This exciting new technology is here and is safely correcting patients' oversized frenal muscles every day.

A frenal muscle that is too large or is pulling on the gums can cause recession or gaps when teeth cannot come together. During a frenectomy, the doctor removes the frenal muscle or surgically releases it from the gum, thus allowing teeth to come together properly. A frenectomy is considered preventative periodontal gum disease treatment in Parkersburg, because, if left untreated, an oversized frenal muscle can cause periodontal disease later in life.

Traditional frenectomy methods used sharp metal tools that caused the patient much more pain. This type of old fashioned technique could be one of the reasons people have feared the dentist for so long. Lasers cut much more cleanly, drastically reducing the amount of bleeding during surgery. This cuts down on operating time and recovery time. Lasers allow for rapid postoperative hemostasis, reducing the need for anesthetics and sutures. Patients can look forward to a quick, comfortable healing process. Laser frenectomy is an especially popular choice for young patients who may have a lower pain tolerance.

Parkersburg, WV -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/01/2014 -- Dr. Richard Newhart is now offering laser gum disease treatment in Parkersburg. In severe cases of gum disease or periodontal disease, patients may not be able to keep their symptoms in check with antibiotics alone. When even root planning and scaling have failed, it may be wise to seek more advanced care. Dr. Richard Newhart is a pioneer in Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure (LANAP), a revolutionary new form of laser treatment that allows gums to regenerate as opposed to just relying on resection.

Using the laser, the doctor selectively removed diseased and infected pocket epithelium from connective tissue. Instead of creating a pocket seal as in traditional methods, this leaves the healthy tissue unscathed, allowing healing and regeneration.

A gingivectomy is performed when the gum tissue has gotten so thick and large it actually covers the surface of the teeth, making them look shorter. In addition to inflammation from gum disease, this condition can also be caused by certain medications and bone that extends too close to the surface of the teeth. The doctor anesthetizes the area and removes the excess gum tissue with the laser as described above. This procedure usually doesn't require any stitching and pain is minimal. Slight soreness for 24-48 hours can be treated with pain medication, and after a week follow-up, patients are on their way with the smile they've always wanted.

There is no cure for periodontal disease, but this treatment has proven very effective in treating symptoms and keeping the disease in remission. For more information on laser treatment for periodontal disease in Parkersburg, West Virginia, visit Dr. Richard Newhart online or call 877-840-4867.

Parkersburg, WV -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/04/2014 -- The most exciting periodontal disease treatment in Parkersburg and Marietta, LANAP is a method of treating gum tissue without painful scraping, scalpel cutting of the tissue, or sutures. Using laser energy, Dr. Newhart selectively removes tartar and infected pocket epithelium from underlying connective tissue. This process is beneficial because it spares the gum tissue, allowing the area to heal and regenerate naturally. Patients have experienced significantly less pain, less bleeding, less swelling, and quicker recovery time with LANAP than they have with traditional surgical techniques.

The procedure may cause new attachment of cementum periodontal ligament to the root surface. This may help reverse moderate to severe bone loss by regrowing bone in some cases. LANAP can stimulate existing stem cells to form new root surface coating and new connective tissue on tooth roots and new bone. This is not possible with traditional scaling and root planing or scraping of the root surface.

LANAP has been FDA-approved since 2004 for advanced gum disease treatment for Parkersburg and Marietta. Dr. Newhart started using the LANAP laser in his office in 2008. The LANAP procedure targets the bad bacteria that causes bone loss rather than cutting away the gum tissue, favoring regeneration of tissue rather than removal or amputation.

For more information on LANAP visit Dr. Richard Newhart online at www.thegumdr.com or call 304-422-4867.
