Gum Disease Treatment
Gentle Treatment for Gum Disease
Technology allows us to help you treat gum disease without the pain and discomfort associated with traditional treatments. LANAP (Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure) is a minimally invasive dental procedure that uses a laser to treat gum disease. It’s a gentle alternative to traditional surgical procedures that use scalpels or drills.
Why have LANAP treatment?
⦁ The laser vaporizes diseased tissue and creates a fibrin clot in the pockets around the teeth
⦁ The healthy gum tissue heals and regenerates over time
Benefits from this treatment
⦁ LANAP can help save healthy teeth by promoting bone regeneration
⦁ It can help reduce pocket depth and seal out plaque and tartar buildup
⦁ It can help avoid painful surgical procedures
When do you need LANAP
⦁ LANAP can be used to treat periodontitis or infections around dental implants
⦁ Symptoms include red, tender gums, discharge, swelling, gum color changes, or bleeding
What is involved
⦁ LANAP usually involves two 2-hour visits, all performed in our office
⦁ The specialist works on one side of the mouth at each visit
