The benefits of LANAP™ (Laser Gum Surgery)

The Benefits of Using Lasers

Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure (LANAP™) is an amazing breakthrough in periodontal treatment.  In appropriately selected cases, these benefits include:

• There is much less discomfort with LANAP™ LASER PERIODONTAL THERAPY than with standard surgical procedures — during and after the procedure. There is no cutting with scalpels or suturing.

• LANAP™ LASER PERIODONTAL THERAPY takes LESS TIME than traditional surgery. All it takes is two 2-hour visits to the office and two follow up visits. Traditional surgery requires four sessions of about one hour each, with subsequent post-op visits and additional check-ups.

• It gives great, long-lasting results. In fact, 95% of treated patients remain stable after five years.

• Many patients find that they have less than a 24 HOUR RECOVERY period, so you won’t lose time from work. Following traditional surgical procedures, recovery can take between 2-4 weeks during which patients can experience pain and swelling and may require a liquid diet.

• Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure (LANAP™) is safe for patients with health concerns such as diabetes, HIV, hemophilia, or those taking medications such as Coumadin, other blood thinners, or Cyclosporin.
