LANAP

LANAP treatments can help to eliminate damaged tissue caused by gum disease, regeneration of bone and soft tissue, and improve one’s bite.

More About LANAP Treatments

LANAP or Laser Assisted New Attachment Protocol is a laser therapy that treats gum disease, including periodontitis. Periodontitis is an inflammatory condition where the gums are sore, swollen and red. LANAP can help treat this condition by removing infected tissue and helping regenerate new bone and gum tissue.

The LANAP Procedure

TREATMENT

A very small laser is inserted between the gums and teeth and the infected tissue is removed. The laser simultaneously removes tissue as it cauterizes the wound, leaving only healthy tissue behind.

Once complete, the gums begin to heal themselves in addition to new bone regeneration.

RECOVERY

Because the laser used for LANAP is so small and precise, healing from treatment generally takes no longer than 48 hours! In the days that follow, tenderness and soreness can occur, but any discomfort is usually manageable.

Although you will not be able to brush and floss normally for 10 days, your prescribed mouthwash will serve to clean your mouth and teeth until you can resume a normal routine.

Generally, we recommend cleanings every 90 days following the procedure to ensure proper rehabilitation of bones and tissue and to prevent reoccurring problems.
