How Does LANAP In Monroe, CT Solve My Gum Disease Issues?
Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is typically caused by bacteria getting into the gum pockets, causing irritation and discomfort. If left untreated, gum disease can lead to increased risk of diabetes, heart disease, stroke, or complete tooth loss. Traditional treatment methods for gum disease include gum grafting, or removal, of the infected gums or bone.
These traditional gum disease treatment procedures are often quite painful, and the gums can take a while to heal. Fortunately, at a skilled and trusted periodontist’s practice, people’s gum disease can be treated with LANAP (Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure).
LANAP is proven to promote gum tissue regeneration. It is a safe, suture and cutting free procedure that can help patients achieve several gum disease treatment goals at once.
Traditionally, severe symptoms associated with gum disease require the surgical removal of diseased or infected gum tissue. This can take several weeks to heal and can even require antibiotics throughout the healing process to avoid any potential sickness or illness while the patient’s immune system may be impacted.
With LANAP, patients can expect:
- Their recovery time to be significantly decreased
- New gum tissue is regenerated
- Reduced or eliminated need for additional surgical procedures.
When used by a skilled periodontist, along with advanced and modern technology, such as the PerioLase® MVP-7™ variable-pulse handheld laser, the LANAP protocol is a fast and reliable method to deep clean the periodontal pockets that form between the teeth and gums. With LANAP, the soft tissues are sanitized and can regenerate in a way that deeply cleans and sanitizes the area of treatment.
This improves the regeneration of new gum tissue and it alters the depth of periodontal pockets for an extended period of time. This way, symptoms associated with gum disease are resolved and the health of the patient’s smile and gums are restored.
