Now there is a less traumatic treatment for periodontal disease. The LANAP (Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure) protocol utilizes safe and proven laser technology to gently remove harmful bacteria and disease tissue from the gums.
As with periodontal surgery, this removal of bacteria allows the body to heal naturally so the gum pockets improve, and the teeth become more stable. But there’s less pain. And since the gum tissue is not cut with a scalpel, there is minimal bleeding, no stitches, and a quicker, much easier recovery.
