A periodontal specialist like Dr. Lauer has advanced education and experience treating health and cosmetic issues related to the gums.

Creating a high-definition image of your teeth, gums, and oral structures is one of the first steps in the dental implants process and its also the most important one. When it comes to missing teeth replacement with dental implants, Dr. Lauer is committed to giving patients the most accurate and precise results.

Amazing welcoming team with a professional high-tech facility. Dr. Lauer and his assistants do a fantastic job explaining things that made me very comfortable to be in their care. I highly recommend this Dr and his team.

Digital x-ray technology, also known as Computerized Digital Radiography, is a safer and more precise way to take pictures of your teeth and gums.

Plus, digital x-rays offer superior picture quality so that Dr. Lauer and his team can precisely identify any problems going on with your teeth and gums.

There is a very strong connection between the health of your mouth and the health of your body. Study after study has drawn a relationship between increased risks of a number of severe health conditions and poor dental and periodontal health. Our board-certified periodontist, Dr. Daniel Lauer, is committed to advanced procedures that can help patients renew the strength of their gums and reduce risks to their overall systemic health. Dr. Lauer is also known for his emphasis on successful diagnosis and treatment of oral cancer and other oral pathologies, and offers routine screenings to identify any irregularities.

Dr. Lauer is a board-certified periodontist who has been specialty-trained in laser gum treatment. Although many general dentists offer a range of periodontal care options, a periodontal specialist dedicates his entire career to treating conditions of the gums and combines advanced treatment techniques with years of experience in this particular area of expertise.

Gum disease, rather than cavities, is more responsible for tooth loss in adults over the age of 35. In fact, a large majority of Americans will be affected by some form of periodontal disease at some point in their lives. Even with the strictest brushing and flossing routines, periodontal disease can develop. Typically characterized by red or inflamed gums, gums that bleed easily, chronic bad breath, gum recession, looseness of the teeth, and other symptoms, gum disease must be treated as soon as possible or much more damage may occur. Untreated periodontal disease has consistently been linked to an increased risk of major health conditions, including:

If you have diabetes, particularly if it is uncontrolled diabetes, you have a higher risk of oral bacterial infection and gum disease. These infections can disrupt your ability to process insulin and lead to more difficulty controlling your blood sugar. This makes it even more important for you to have very good daily brushing and flossing routines, in addition to making regular trips to the dentist for professional teeth cleanings and oral evaluations. You should be sure to let your dentist or periodontist know of your medical history and your current condition. Maintaining good control of your blood sugar levels can also help stave off periodontal infection and improve the outcome of any periodontal therapy.

Research has linked the presence of gum disease to a higher risk of developing Alzheimers disease. More recent studies suggest that one of the bacteria that causes gum disease could lead to a buildup of toxic proteins in the brain associated with Alzheimers disease. While more research is needed to determine if treating gum disease actually reduces the risk of dementia, the growing amount of evidence that the two are linked further emphasizes the importance of managing gum disease. This is especially crucial for older patients and those who are predisposed to Alzheimers. By practicing good oral hygiene and getting regular cleanings and exams from a dental professional, you could potentially protect your brain health, as well.

Oral cancer is a life-threatening health risk, and it is critically important to have regular oral cancer screenings to identify any problems as early as possible. With early diagnosis and treatment, patients with oral cancer can significantly reduce the risks that this condition can pose. It is estimated that you can increase your chances of survival by 80 to 90 percent with early treatment.

Dr. Lauer offers painless oral cancer screenings here at Precision Periodontics & Implant Dentistry. In fact, Dr. Lauer is often referred to by oncologists in the area for oral cancer treatment, and has routinely performed successful procedures for patients who have been diagnosed with oral cancer.

Early-stage oral cancer does not often display noticeable symptoms, making it even more important to have regular screenings for the condition. Areas that can be affected are the gum tissue, tongue, cheeks, palate, lips, and even the face and/or neck. Note that you may not feel pain with symptoms, and in some cases, you may not associate the pain you feel with the fact that it may be oral cancer. Thats why its important to see a doctor at the first sign of any kind of oral or facial pain. Its also important to do oral cancer self-examinations on a monthly basis, and never ignore anything you might deem irregular.

Not only did Dr. Lauer address the problem, but he was thorough in his explanation, gentle in his dental work and exceptional in his dental manner. His staff is friendly, gracious and knowledgeable. I would give Dr. Lauer and his staff a 5 star rating!

For patients who are currently undergoing chemotherapy treatment for cancer, it is not uncommon to experience oral health changes as a side effect. Dr. Lauer is a board-certified periodontal specialist who is often referred to by other doctors throughout the community to help patients with excessive bleeding in the gums and other conditions sometimes caused by chemotherapy. Many routine dental treatments can be complicated due to chemotherapeutics, and Dr. Lauer works closely with your oncologist to enhance your oral health during cancer treatments.
