Gum disease affects millions, and the problem is that most don’t even know they have it until much of the damage is already done. Periodontitis or advanced gum disease is the leading cause of tooth loss and also has been linked to heart disease.
At CDIC, we offer laser gum surgery or LANAP, a breakthrough procedure and a more comfortable, efficient alternative to traditional surgery.
Why We Recommend Laser Gum Surgery
Advanced gum disease causes gums to pull away from teeth and form pockets. Bacteria penetrate deeper into the pockets, which can lead to bone loss and even tooth loss.
To eliminate periodontal disease, we must remove the infection and close up the pockets. Laser gum surgery at our dental office is performed using patient-friendly LANAP, which stands for Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure.
Benefits of Laser Gum Surgery
Laser gum surgery detoxifies the mouth by removing the harmful bacteria causing the infection with no cutting, no stitches, and no pain. Since the procedure is so efficient, our periodontist typically treats the entire mouth during a single two-hour appointment.
Benefits of laser gum surgery include:
- A more comfortable procedure
- Shorter treatment times
- Better precision and less damage to healthy tissue
- No scalpels or sutures
- Fewer follow-up visits
- Faster healing
- Longer-lasting results
