If left untreated, gum disease can cause significant damage to people’s oral and overall health.

The Top Benefits Of Laser Assisted Periodontal Treatments
Gum disease can occur for many reasons, including genetics and not properly performing oral hygiene. Traditionally, gum disease treatment has included the need to cut into the patient’s gum tissue to remove the harmful bacteria that causes gum disease. This invasive gum disease treatment would also require sutures and other materials to be used to stop the bleeding that occurs with it.
Fortunately, the LANAP laser gum surgery protocol has revolutionized and modernized the approach to treating gum disease in an innovative and minimally invasive way. When used by a quality periodontist, the key benefits of a LANAP laser gum surgery in Monroe, CT for a laser assisted periodontal treatment include:
- No need for cuts or sutures
- Faster healing time
- Faster recovery time because there is no need for stitches
- Patients are able to get back to their daily activities faster
- People will be able to smile, laugh, and even speak with ease and no restrictions
- Lasers target gum disease while keeping healthy gums intact and safe
- No need to stop blood thinner medications
- Minimizes or completely eliminates the need for osseous surgery
Additionally, the LANAP protocol is the only laser gum disease treatment that is FDA-approved and proven to promote gum tissue regeneration. Simply put, LANAP is a minimally invasive way to regenerate gum tissue after gum disease. When the LANAP protocol is used with regular treatments and a customized plan based on the patient’s dental health, systemic effects of gum disease (cancer, high blood pressure, strokes, and diabetes) can be avoided.
The PerioLase® MVP-7™ laser gum surgery is another laser assisted periodontal treatment that is used to deep clean the periodontal pockets that have formed between the teeth and gums.
