LANAP® Laser Gum Disease Treatment in Poway, CA
LANAP®
At Pomerado Family Dental in Poway near near Ramona, Rancho Bernardo, Scripps Ranch, 4S Ranch, and Mira Mesa, LANAP®, or Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure, is utilized as an advanced method of treatment for gum disease, enabling certain periodontal procedures to be performed in a safer, more precise, and less invasive manner than with traditional surgical methods. Using LANAP, cases of periodontitis can be addressed without the pain, gum line recession, or increased tooth sensitivity that is often associated with other treatments used at this stage of periodontal disease.
How LANAP® Works
The LANAP® Procedure utilizes the PerioLase® MVP-7TM laser to target and vaporize inflamed and diseased tissue beneath the gum line, specifically within periodontal pockets. Unlike traditional methods, LANAP® selectively removes unhealthy tissue while preserving the integrity of surrounding healthy tissue. Additionally, the laser technology effectively eliminates bacteria responsible for gum disease and aids in the reattachment of supportive tissues to the tooth’s surface.
Benefits of LANAP®
- Reduced Discomfort: LANAP® minimizes pain, gum line recession, and tooth sensitivity often associated with other periodontal treatments.
- Preservation of Tooth Structure: By reducing the depth of periodontal pockets and promoting bone regeneration, LANAP® can help save teeth with compromised prognosis.
- Minimally Invasive: Patients experience less discomfort, bleeding, and faster recovery times compared to traditional surgical methods.
- Enhanced Healing: LANAP® accelerates healing at the treatment site, allowing patients to resume normal activities sooner.
