Minimally invasive dental implant treatment using 3D technology
Dr. Young uses advanced 3D imaging technology to provide you with state-of-the-art implant treatment.
Dr. Young uses the latest in 3D imaging technology to make your dental implant treatment minimally invasive, efficient and accurate. To plan your implant treatment, he first arranges a 3D CT scan for you at a dental imaging lab. The scan produces a detailed 360 degree view of your teeth and jaw which is sent to Dr. Young’s office.
He then uses special implant planning software to map out the precise position and angle for implant placement. He will place the implant through a surgical guide created from the 3D placement model, which makes the procedure very efficient and accurate.

Laser gum treatment for maximum comfort and results
For most patients with mild to advanced periodontitis, Dr. Young effectively eliminates their gum disease with the highly advanced laser gum disease treatment known as LANAP® (Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure). The LANAP procedure uses a special dental laser that removes bacteria and diseased tissue without affecting healthy tissue.
LANAP treatment eliminates the need for scalpels or sutures. Treatment is faster compared to traditional gum surgery, there is less discomfort and you can resume normal activity within 24 hours. LANAP therapy also accomplishes better and longer lasting results than conventional surgery.
