If you are diagnosed with gum disease, our dentists may recommend LANAP® therapy to help improve your oral health. LANAP (Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure) is a patented laser gum treatment which uses a soft tissue laser to eliminate diseased tissue and bacteria in your mouth. After this diseased tissue has been removed, our dentists can then remove calculus and plaque from the tooth roots to eliminate the source of harmful bacteria, beginning the healing process so that you can enjoy better oral health.
LANAP gum treatment offers many benefits, including greater comfort during your procedure, a faster treatment time, a quicker recovery and better long-term results. Laser dentistry is also safer to perform, giving our dentists greater control. As minimally invasive as it is, it is also highly precise, involves no cutting or suturing, and works to minimize bleeding both during and after treatment. Laser treatment is also more hygienic and reduces your risk of infection following your procedure.
In addition to LANAP therapy, our dentists may also use soft tissue lasers in procedures such as:
- Crown lengthening
- Frenectomy
- Cold and canker sore treatment
- Impacted teeth treatment
- Gum line recontouring
- Lesion removal
- Oral tissue biopsies
- Damaged gum tissue removal
- And more!
