Following the successful opening of Laser Periodontics & Dental Implants (LPDI) office in the Myrtle Beach area, Dr. Neda Azadivatan is now making her mark in North Mount Pleasant with her new office.

Located at 3070 N. Highway 17, LPDI officially opened its doors to the public on Oct. 29 during a meet-and-greet event culminating in a celebratory ribbon-cutting ceremony.

With members of Mount Pleasant Town Council and Mount Pleasant Chamber of Commerce reps in attendance, Azadivatan and staff walked guests through their newly-renovated dental center, featuring four exam rooms, digital X-rays and Cone Beam CT Imaging.

The cutting edge technology in use at LPDI is largely laser-based and non-invasive, said Azadivatan, a 20-year dental periodontist, author and married mother of four.

While many patients with gum disease often had negative experiences with their treatments in the past, LPDI laser therapy replaces old, painful cutting and stitching methods.

"Nowadays, there's a lot more ways to get them comfortable," Azadivatan assured. In fact, the medical venue offers anxious and/or reluctant clients sedation via monitored anesthesia care.

What's more, the office's official therapy dog, Cooper, also comforts apprehensive individuals checking in for a surgical procedure.

"Afterwards, their recovery has less downtime," she continued while pointing out that patients are generally better educated about the significance of caring for the whole body.

"Oral health ties into their own systemic health, whereas in the past it was like your teeth and then your body. Nowadays, it's all in one. So, a lot of your patients have diabetes or are immunocompromised, or they have issues with Alzheimer's or with COVID. This is a bacterial infection, so it affects the whole body," explained the Iran-born physician who formerly ran her first office in Upstate New York's Saratoga area.

A major part of healing all forms of periodontal ailments, according to Azadivatan, lies in dutiful maintenance in light of the fact that there isn't yet a cure for gum disease.

Any newly-treated patient, in fact, will see oral bacteria reemerge after 90 days, which makes regular cleanings not only beneficial, but essential.

"We can kind of control it. So, we tell patients to get a cleaning every three months," she stated.
