Why Choose a LANAP Laser Treatment?
Valencia Periodontics is one of the first in the area to offer the FDA-cleared laser treatment called the LANAP protocol. LANAP provides a less painful, more successful treatment alternative to conventional surgery to treat periodontal (gum) disease and saves many teeth that were previously considered hopeless. Unlike traditional surgery that requires cutting and stitches, a laser light is used to gently remove harmful bacteria and diseased tissue from the gum pocket. This allows the body to heal naturally so that gum pockets improve and the teeth become more stable.
What is LANAP Laser Treatment?
LANAP Laser Treatment is the only scientifically, research-proven methodology that results in true periodontal regeneration, which means new bone growth and gum tissue reattachment. This treatment is one of the most successful protocols in treating gum disease because it can target the source of the inflammation without hurting or removing any healthy gum tissue, slow or stop attachment loss, and allow the body to recover from the chronic infection without the need for scalpel or sutures.
What Are the Benefits of LANAP Laser Treatment?
The LANAP protocol is the only laser gum disease treatment FDA cleared for True Regeneration. Simply put, the LANAP protocol can re-grow the tissues and bone lost to gum disease. Fear of periodontal treatment also tends to vanish when patients find out no scalpel or sutures will be used. Further patient benefits are as follows:
- Less pain
- Less bleeding
- Less sensitivity
- Less gum loss
- Less swelling
- Minimal downtime after treatment
- Less Post-op infections
- Promotes regeneration of supporting gum tissues
- Healing is perceived to be faster and more comfortable than conventional surgery
Does LANAP Laser Treatment Hurt?
Although the procedure can be virtually painless, the doctor may anesthetize the area for the patient’s comfort. In this way, he can precisely direct the laser for treatment. Post-procedure discomfort is typically minimal and of short duration.
