LANAP for Healthier Gums
LANAP (Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure) is a state-of-the-art gum treatment that uses laser technology to target and remove infected gum tissue caused by periodontal disease. This technique is minimally invasive, meaning it preserves healthy tissue and promotes faster healing with less pain. The procedure creates a thrombus in the treated area, controlling bleeding and reducing the risk of infection. LANAP also eliminates harmful bacteria and plaque, creating a cleaner environment for healing and reattachment of the gums to the teeth. This method is known for its effectiveness, with predictable results and a low risk of recurrence. It’s a modern alternative to traditional gum surgery.

Choose LANAP for Advanced Gum Care
Gum disease, or periodontal disease, is a serious infection of the gums that can lead to tooth loss if left untreated. It typically begins with gingivitis, causing redness, swelling, and bleeding of the gums. If not addressed, it progresses to periodontitis, where the supporting structures of the teeth become damaged. Symptoms include persistent bad breath, gum recession, and loosening teeth. Poor oral hygiene, smoking, and genetic factors are common risk factors. Treating gum disease early is crucial for maintaining healthy teeth and gums. LANAP provides a minimally invasive, effective solution to halt the progression of gum disease and restore oral health. LANAP, the only FDA-approved periodontal treatment promoting bone growth, offers a more comfortable experience without scalpels or sutures.
LANAP is a laser-based treatment for gum disease that uses advanced technology to target infected tissue while preserving healthy tissue. The laser eliminates bacteria, cauterizes the tissue, and helps reattach the gums to the teeth. This method offers a quicker recovery, minimal discomfort, and effective results compared to traditional gum surgery.
LANAP is minimally invasive and designed to minimize pain during and after the procedure. Local anesthesia is used to ensure comfort throughout the treatment. Since it involves a laser, there is less discomfort, less bleeding, and a quicker recovery compared to conventional gum surgery. Most patients experience only mild soreness post-treatment.
Recovery time with LANAP is typically faster than traditional gum surgery. Most patients experience minimal discomfort and are able to return to normal activities within a few days. Full healing may take a few weeks, but the procedure’s precision and minimally invasive nature contribute to a smoother recovery process.
Good candidates for LANAP are individuals suffering from gum disease, including gingivitis and periodontitis. If you have severe gum infections but wish to avoid traditional surgery, LANAP may be an ideal option. Your dentist will evaluate your oral health to determine if LANAP is the right treatment based on the severity of your condition.
