A healthy body starts with a healthy mouth. Did you know that research has linked serious health conditions such as heart disease, stroke, diabetes, some forms of cancer and rheumatoid arthritis with gum disease? Don’t let gum disease compromise your overall health for fear of traditional scalpel and suture gum surgery. For many patients, laser gum surgery is an effective, less invasive and more affordable way to treat gum disease.
Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure (LANAP) is an authentic FDA-approved laser treatment of periodontitis or gum disease. LANAP, also known as Laser Periodontal Therapy, is a fast, minimally invasive laser alternative to traditional gum surgery using PerioLase™—the only laser designed specifically for Laser Periodontal Therapy or the treatment of gum disease. This treatment removes diseased or inflamed soft tissue by gently passing a laser between the gums and teeth.
Many patients find LANAP to be patient-friendly because:
- It is virtually painless and requires no cutting or stitches
- It often provides significantly reduced recovery time, patient-friendly clinical results and few post-operative complications.
- It typically requires just one or two visits to complete treatment, compared to the typical four visits (plus additional follow up appointments) for traditional gum surgery.
