PerioLase® LANAP
PerioLase LANAP
Safe and Effective Gum Tissue Restoration
If you’re suffering from gum disease, you’re likely not alone. Millions of people battle gum disease, which is often caused by a bacterial infection inside your gum pockets (the space between your gums and teeth). Left untreated, gum disease can lead to the loss of natural teeth or dental implants.
Traditional gum surgery treatments may leave you with gum recession and temperature sensitivity. Fortunately, Laser dental treatment for gums, such as PerioLase LANAP (laser assisted new attachment procedure), offers a more effective solution. This cutting-edge, non-invasive laser treatment targets diseased gum tissue and restores gum health without the discomfort and recovery time associated with traditional surgery.
What is PerioLase LANAP?
The LANAP laser is a small fiber optic light that emits a specific wavelength which targets bacteria inside your gums, while leaving healthy gum tissue unharmed. It also stimulates blood inside your gums to congeal around your teeth, which in turn promotes your gums to reattach to your teeth and regain bone loss from damage that was caused by gum disease. There is no cutting or stitches involved in this advanced laser dental treatment for gums.
Why choose LANAP?
- Faster and less painful recovery
- Less risk of developing hypersensitivity. We don’t want you to miss out on your favorite ice-cream and a cup of coffee in the morning.
- Less risk of gum recession
- Regeneration of bone around your teeth
FAQ:
Is laser gum surgery painful? Laser gum surgery is not painful. Laser gum surgery is one of the most comfortable procedures presently offered at a dental practice. It is a non-invasive technique that does not require sutures or any incision in your gum. Our doctors may administer a small amount of anesthetic, since a warm feeling will be generated from the laser tip.
Do gums grow back after laser surgery? Yes, your gums will grow back after laser surgery. While they may look different during the healing process, you will notice less puffiness and redness. After healing, your gums will have a pink tone with healthy architecture re-established after your laser treatment.
