Dr. Lei Jingxiang of Danville Lei Jingxiang Dental Clinic in East Bay is a leader among Chinese dentists in the Bay Area. He had 7 years of experience as a dental laboratory technician before he obtained a dental degree from the University of the Pacific in San Francisco in 1986. After practicing as a general dentist for many years, Dr. Lei completed advanced implant residency training at the Blue Road Hospital in Brooklyn, New York City, and advanced prosthesis specialist training at the University of Illinois at Chicago.
After accumulating rich dental experience, Dr. Lei was not satisfied with the status quo and actively participated in advanced dental technology learning and exchanges in the United States and even the world. He also actively participated in community and organizational activities such as the American Academy of Prosthodontics, the American Dental Association, the California Dental Association, the Regional Dental Association, the American Society of Implant Dentistry, the International Association of Oral Implant Specialists, and the American Society of Plastic Dentistry.
In his nearly 30 years of practice, he has been striving for excellence in technology, personally treating dental diseases and implant processes, striving to achieve the best results, and relieving the pain of dental diseases for many patients.
Dental disease is an inflammation of the tooth tissue and bone surrounding the teeth. If not treated promptly, the disease may cause gum contraction, bone loss, and ultimately tooth loss.
Gum contraction is caused by many factors, including the degree of daily cleaning of the teeth and gums, dietary factors, and genetic factors. Once bone is lost, it is difficult or impossible to regrow the bone to its original level.
Therefore, the focus of treatment is to maintain the bone at its current level by keeping the mouth clean. This can be accomplished through regular periodontal restoration cleaning, deep cleaning, and dental surgery for 3 months.
Lei Jingxiang Dental Clinic is a well-known dental clinic in the Bay Area and even Northern California. In order to improve the quality and effectiveness of dental treatment, the dental clinic has introduced a new technology for the treatment of tooth and implant diseases – LANAP (Laser Assisted New Program). This is a relatively new treatment for gum contraction that uses NdYAG lasers under specific high-energy pulses to destroy bacteria buried in the tissue without damaging healthy tissue.
Gum surgery involves cutting the gums, smoothing the bone, and moving the gums lower on the teeth, reducing the pocket depth (measured between the top of the tooth and the bone) so that the area is easier to clean. However, this procedure can be painful and often creates a triangular space between the teeth that is more likely to harbor dirt and is unsightly.
In fact, not all lasers are the same. There is only one laser and protocol that is currently FDA-approved for re-implanting teeth, and the company that pioneered the technology protects it with a patent.
Other uses for the technology include treating bone loss around implants LAPIP (Laser Assisted Peri-Implant Protocol), reducing bacteria before placing therapeutic implants, biostimulating the area to improve healing of both implants, and reducing pain during extractions and other surgical sites, relieving painful injection sites, treating TMJ (mandibular joint) pain, and many other uses*.
How it is done: Because bacteria is found in the mouth, LANAP periodontal surgery is a full-mouth procedure that is usually completed in 2 hours. One side of the mouth is completed in the first surgery, and the other side is completed in the second surgery, which is usually scheduled within a week. Patients can generally return to work or other activities quickly after surgery. As for the amount of tissue regeneration, it will depend on many other factors.
Not only does this technology eliminate pathogens, but there is a lot of scientific evidence that there is a biostimulation effect that can greatly improve healing, reattach the structure that attaches the bone to the tooth, and regenerate bone with little to no cutting, suturing, and little or no pain.
