Because gum disease is a whole-body inflammatory condition — and we treat it that way.
At Scottsdale Implants & Periodontics, our approach to care is centered on a simple principle:
healing is a biologic process—and treatment should support it, not disrupt it.
As a periodontal specialty practice led by Dr. Braydon Haskell, we focus on the underlying drivers of gum disease, inflammation, tissue breakdown, and healing.
Many patients searching for a biological dentist in Scottsdale are looking for a more comprehensive, whole-body approach. While we are not a general dentist, our focus on biologic periodontal therapy, minimally invasive techniques, and laser-assisted healing aligns closely with what those patients are seeking.
Rather than relying solely on traditional surgical approaches, we integrate laser therapy, regenerative biologics, and advanced healing technologies to create conditions where the body can heal more predictably—and where results are built to last.
Why Inflammation Matters
Gum disease is not just a structural issue—it is a chronic inflammatory condition.
When inflammation remains active:
- Tissue Breakdown Continues
- Healing Is Compromised
- Outcomes Become Less Predictable
Our approach focuses on:
- Controlling Inflammation
- Improving Tissue Response
- Supporting Long-Term Periodontal Stability
This shift—from simply treating disease to actively supporting healing—is what defines a biologic periodontal approach.
The Role of Laser Therapy in Periodontal Healing
Laser technology plays a central role in how we treat gum disease in Scottsdale.
It allows us to precisely target harmful bacteria while reducing unnecessary trauma to healthy tissue. This helps create a cleaner, less inflamed environment where healing can occur more predictably.
In addition, we utilize MLS MHi-D laser therapy (photobiomodulation, commonly referred to as red light therapy) to further support recovery. This therapy is designed to enhance circulation, reduce post-treatment inflammation, accelerate tissue healing, and improve comfort after procedures.
This allows us to treat disease while simultaneously supporting the body’s natural healing response in a non-invasive way.
Advanced Technology, Used With Purpose
- Our practice utilizes multiple advanced laser and energy-based technologies—each selected for a specific role in treatment and healing.
- Rather than relying on a single system, we use different technologies to reduce bacterial load in periodontal pockets, support minimally invasive treatment techniques, enhance tissue healing and recovery, and improve patient comfort during and after procedures.
- Technology is not the focus by itself. It is one part of a larger biologic approach that allows us to tailor treatment more precisely and support the body’s natural healing response at every stage of care.
Supporting Healing Beyond the Procedure
Healing does not begin and end in the treatment room.
The body’s ability to recover is influenced by:
- Inflammation Levels
- Circulation And Tissue Response
- Nutrition And Metabolic Support
- Overall Systemic Health
For patients who want to take a more comprehensive approach, we provide guidance on therapies and products that may help support healing, recovery, and long-term stability.
This includes access to clinically selected nutritional support through our Vital Body partnership, along with exclusive patient savings.

Why a Specialist Approach Matters
Periodontal disease is not simply about cleaning teeth—it involves managing inflammation, preserving bone, and supporting long-term tissue stability.
A specialist approach allows for a deeper understanding of these factors and more precise treatment planning.
