What is LANAP® Laser Treatment?

Millions of Americans are diagnosed with gum disease at some point in their lives but only some get the treatment they need. Research shows a link between gum disease and health problems such as heart disease, cancer, and diabetes. Until recently, the only option for treating periodontal disease involved cutting the gum tissue and suturing the tissue back together. Patients undergoing the LANAP® laser protocol enjoy fast recovery times because the laser kills bacteria and eradicates diseased tissue while leaving healthy tissue untouched.

Benefits of the LANAP® Protocol

Some of the key benefits of LANAP® laser treatment include:

• Speedy recovery
  This is a minimally invasive procedure that allows the body to heal quickly.
• Minimal or no discomfort
  The laser causes little to no discomfort. Most patients only report a heating sensation.
• Less downtime
  Most patients can return to regular activities the same day.
• Little to no gum recession
  Laser gum surgery does not lower the gum line, as often seen with traditional gum surgery.
• Reduced inflammation
  The procedure can remove up to 90% of inflammation in a single treatment.
• Minimal
  Patients experience less bleeding than with traditional gum surgery.
• Saves teeth
  The procedure helps to save natural teeth.
• Bone regeneration
  Laser gum disease treatment can regenerate bone tissue around the tooth structure.
• Zero contraindications
  The procedure is considered to be safe and effective for most patients.
