Laser Gum Disease Treatment vs. Traditional Surgery

Traditional gum disease treatments frequently involve surgery to remove infected tissue and deposits under the gums. While these techniques can be very effective, they increase risks for infections and complications like gum recession and require a long, uncomfortable healing process.

LANAP completely eliminates bacteria and diseased tissue without damaging healthy cells, providing a fast and comfortable recovery process with almost no downtime. Because it also stimulates your body’s natural healing capabilities, LANAP is proven to regenerate bone and healthy attachment without the risks of traditional gum surgery or the need for bone grafts. The treatment is more predictable and comfortable and ensures you can return to living your life to the fullest with a strong, healthy smile.

What You Can Expect from the LANAP Procedure

Evaluating Your Gums and Helping You Stay Comfortable

The LANAP process starts with a comprehensive evaluation of your gum health to determine which sites need laser treatment and which can be addressed with other types of gingivitis treatment.

If LANAP is right for you, we’ll ensure you’re comfortable throughout the process with the right pain control for your needs. Usually, a little local anesthetic is all it takes.

Eliminating Bacteria and Cleaning the Pocket

When you’re comfortable, we’ll insert a tiny laser tip (about the width of three human hairs) into the space between the gums and the tooth roots.

This first laser application selectively targets bacterial cells and damaged tissue while bouncing harmlessly off your healthy gum cells. Next, we’ll use an ultrasonic scaler to remove hardened deposits and clean the area.

Ensuring a Healthy Healing Process

Finally, we’ll apply the laser a second time using a setting that stimulates your healthy bone, ligament, and gum tissue. This step also creates sticky compounds that seal the pocket, providing a sterile environment for a smooth healing process.

Over the next several months, your body will naturally regenerate healthy bone tissue and attachments, stabilizing affected teeth and reversing your gum disease for a lifetime of better oral health.
