LANAP is a Revolutionary Gum Disease Treatment

LANAP allows you to rethink gum disease therapy. As the only laser gum disease treatment FDA-cleared to promote soft tissue and bone tissue regeneration, LANAP is the minimally invasive alternative to gum surgery patients have been looking for.

 

The Importance of Proper Gum Health

If you have red, swollen or bleeding gums, gum recession or persistent bad breath (halitosis) you may have gum disease. Whether you’ve been diagnosed yet or not, you should see a periodontist to be sure. Our periodontists, Dr. Richard Amato and Dr. Michael Kang, specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of periodontal disease. Although proper at-home care can help, professional treatment may be necessary depending on the stage your condition is in. If left untreated, gum disease can lead to receding gums, tooth loss, and systemic health effects like heart disease, certain cancers and high blood pressure.

There’s an Alternative to Osseous Surgery

If you’ve received a gum disease diagnosis in Newtown, CT but are anxious to receive osseous surgery, there’s another alternative. LANAP offers highly effective results through a gentle procedure. In many cases, LANAP can completely replace the need to receive osseous surgery. Combining a specific wavelength of laser light, pulse vibrations and a skilled clinician’s touch, LANAP eradicates gum disease-causing bacteria without cutting the gums or requiring sutures.

Understanding the LANAP Process

Proven to reduce recovery time, treatment time and even encourage proper healing, LANAP is a highly effective and preferred gum surgery solution. Traditional osseous surgery cuts and pulls back gum tissue to gain access to infected tissue deep within periodontal pockets. Using a small dental laser, our team of periodontists are able to avoid removing gum tissue and prevent the use of sutures in order to access regions of hidden infected tissue. Selectively targeting disease-causing bacteria, LANAP offers the leading minimally invasive solution available today!
