What Is PerioLase LANAP?

Periodontitis is a serious condition that can lead to the gum tissues pulling away from the teeth, leaving gaps known as pockets. These spaces offer the perfect environment for harmful bacteria to flourish and continue wreaking havoc on your oral health. As the disease progresses, the pockets become deeper, eventually leading to bone loss, loose teeth, and tooth loss.

LANAP, or Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure, differs greatly from traditional periodontal surgery, creating a sterile and stable environment where bone and tissue can heal and grow back together. The innovative treatment involves the use of the PerioLase laser to gently and precisely remove diseased tissues while promoting the natural healing process and stimulating gum tissue and bone regeneration. PerioLase LANAP provides impressive, long-lasting treatment outcomes, preventing the devastating impacts of periodontal disease on your smile.

What Can You Expect?

During treatment, our experienced periodontist will use the innovative PerioLase laser to clean out diseased tissues in your gingival pockets. The laser eliminates the periodontal disease-causing bacteria without harming any surrounding tissues. It also helps trigger your body's natural healing processes, promoting healing and tissue regeneration.

After treatment, you will experience less swelling, bleeding, or discomfort and a faster recovery time than traditional periodontitis surgery. LANAP produces incredible results without the need for blades or sutures, as with traditional gum surgery. The non-invasive procedure enhances your comfort and overall patient experience, providing a safe and periodontal tissue therapy solution.

What Are the Benefits of LANAP?

LANAP offers numerous benefits over traditional gum surgery, including the following:

Less Discomfort and Bleeding: LANAP offers a minimally invasive alternative to traditional surgery, without the need for incisions or sutures, which results in less pain and bleeding during and after treatment.
Preserves Healthy Tissues: LANAP targets diseased tissue while leaving any healthy tissues intact.
Faster Recovery: Patients can return to normal activities within 24 hours after a LANAP procedure, unlike traditional gum surgery recovery, which can take 2-4 weeks.
Lower Risk of Infection: LANAP destroys harmful oral bacteria and sterilizes the treated area, lowering the risk of infection.
Stimulates Tissue Regeneration: LANAP triggers the body's natural healing processes, promoting gum regeneration and stimulating bone growth.
