LANAP Periodontal Regeneration – What You Need to Know

Gum disease affects millions of people worldwide, jeopardizing not just oral health but overall well-being. Left untreated, periodontal disease can lead to tooth loss, chronic inflammation, and even systemic health problems like heart disease or diabetes. Fortunately, Etesse Holistic & Cosmetic Dentistry offers advanced technology with a minimally invasive solution for treating gum disease effectively—LANAP (Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure). This cutting-edge treatment is revolutionizing periodontal care by promoting gum regeneration and reducing the discomfort of traditional surgery. Here’s everything you need to know. What Is LANAP Periodontal Regeneration? LANAP is an advanced, FDA-approved procedure designed to treat gum disease using a specialized dental laser. The PerioLase® MVP-7 laser targets harmful bacteria deep in the gums while leaving healthy tissue intact. This unique approach helps restore damaged gum and bone tissue, promoting natural regeneration, which traditional surgery cannot achieve. Unlike conventional gum surgery, LANAP does not require scalpels or stitches. This makes it a less invasive and more comfortable option for patients, all while delivering excellent clinical results. By harnessing the precision of laser technology, LANAP represents a significant advancement in periodontal treatment. How Is LANAP Different from Traditional Surgery?

• No scalpels or sutures: Unlike traditional surgery, LANAP avoids cutting or stitching the gums.

• Faster healing: The laser encourages natural tissue regeneration, which speeds up recovery.

• Less gum recession: By preserving healthy tissue, LANAP minimizes changes to your smile.

Key Benefits of LANAP for Patients LANAP isn’t just a technological upgrade—it offers tangible benefits that elevate the patient experience and recovery process.

1. Minimally Invasive Treatment

LANAP doesn’t rely on invasive tools, making it far gentler on your gums. The precision of the laser promotes healing while targeting the disease, ensuring a faster and less painful recovery.

2. Faster Healing

Traditional gum surgery can take weeks to heal, often disrupting daily life. LANAP boasts a quicker recovery timeline, allowing you to resume normal activities sooner.

3. Preservation of Healthy Tissue

The laser targets only the infected areas, preserving healthy gum and bone tissue. This reduces gum recession, maintaining both oral health and your natural smile.

4. Reduced Discomfort and Improved Long-Term Results

LANAP results in less inflammation and swelling post-treatment. Over time, patients experience healthier gums and improved oral function.

5. Safe for High-Risk Patients

LANAP is an excellent option for individuals with underlying health conditions like diabetes or heart disease. Its minimally invasive nature makes it a safe alternative for treating gum disease without increasing health risks. Why Choose LANAP at Etesse Holistic & Cosmetic Dentistry?
