LANAP Laser Treatment
LANAP (Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure) is a less painful, more efficient laser treatment procedure that provides an alternative to traditional periodontal surgery. This treatment allows Dr. Wayne Zipperlen to effectively reduce the number of bacteria within your gums and create healthier gum tissue for your teeth. LANAP is proven to result in periodontal regeneration, new bone growth, and gum tissue reattachment.
How This Treatment Works
While this laser treatment effectively and virtually painlessly removes harmful bacteria from a patient’s gums, it also helps to restore healthy gums. As the laser removes the bacteria and damaged gum tissue, it will also help to regenerate new, healthy gum tissue. The healthy gums act as an anchor to your teeth, creating more stability and reducing tooth loss.
Because this is laser surgery, there is significantly less pain and healing time compared to conventional periodontal surgery. LANAP is a revolutionary treatment that can save patients time and pain, leading to healthier gums and teeth.
Why Choose LANAP Over Traditional Periodontal Surgery?
Our team is fully committed to providing our patients with a variety of skilled treatments and procedures to help them achieve a healthy mouth. That’s why we are proud to offer such an amazing alternative to traditional periodontal surgery that helps our patients to achieve healthy and strong gums while reducing pain and healing time.
Conventional periodontal surgery requires more removal of diseased tissue and reshaping of the bone–leading to more pain and healing time for patients. Although there are cases in which traditional surgery must be completed, LANAP is an efficient and effective treatment for most patients.
LANAP utilizes a revolutionary laser that precisely targets and treats the bacteria-ridden gum tissue, effectively removing the bacteria and allowing for the regeneration of healthy gum tissue to take place. The patient will also experience much less healing time and pain associated with the LANAP procedure, compared to conventional surgery.
