LANAP Laser Treatment
Effective and More Comfortable Treatment
About half of all adults in the United States have gum disease, but many don’t even know it until they experience late-stage symptoms like gum recession and tooth loss. This is why regular dental checkups and early treatment for gum disease are critical.
Traditional treatment for gum disease involves cutting into the gum tissue and folding it back to remove the plaque and tartar that have built up below the gumline. The LANAP method is an innovative laser surgery that treats gum disease and also regenerates the gum tissue and bone lost due to periodontitis. LANAP is an acronym for Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure and it is a more effective and comfortable treatment used to remove diseased tissue, encourage gum reattachment, and promote healing. Patients who receive LANAP treatment often experience less gum recession, which helps improve the overall appearance of the smile.
