Laser Gum Therapy/LANAP
Gum disease is a serious condition, but many patients avoid treatment due to fear and anxiety about conventional gum surgery.
The LANAP® protocol is an alternative to traditional surgery which can restore soft tissue and bone without incisions or sutures.
“7 out of 10 Canadians will develop gum disease at some time in their lives ”
More Comfortable
The LANAP protocol uses the PerioLase laser to treat gum disease without cutting or stitching the gums. This advanced device provides more comfortable treatment and involves little to no postoperative discomfort.
Quicker Recovery Time
In most cases, patients can return to their normal daily activities immediately after LANAP. Typically, this treatment requires less than 24 hours of downtime. In contrast, recovery can take two to four weeks after traditional surgery with a scalpel.
Healthier Gums
With LANAP, the laser simply seals the treatment area, meaning the tissues stay completely intact. Unlike conventional surgery, the laser also prompts the body’s natural healing response, encouraging the renewal of both bone and soft tissue for a healthier smile.
Before LANAP
After LANAP
The LANAP protocol is a laser-based treatment for gum disease. There is no cutting and suturing with the LANAP protocol. Because of this, patients typically report less pain and discomfort during and after the procedure, compared to traditional gum surgery. This helps you get gums and teeth healthy again comfortably, without fear. Generally, the LANAP procedure is less invasive than traditional surgery.
The laser operates at a specific wavelength that attacks the bacteria that contributes to gum disease while leaving healthy tissue intact.Post-surgical recession and tooth sensitivity, which can be significant following traditional gum surgery, are also greatly reduced.
