LANAP stands for Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure and is a treatment used with the PerioLase laser system. It is a specific protocol that is approved for use in the US, UK, Australia, Europe, and Canada. But these treatments cannot be performed by just anyone.
You must choose a licensed practitioner with the appropriate education and medical training. They must be able to maintain the equipment and use it appropriately, as well as keep up with new advancements in technology. It can be used to treat periodontal disease and is a more non-invasive option than traditional surgery.
LANAP treatment can be easier on the gums, as traditional surgery requires the removal of more gum tissue. It can also help to prevent receding gums and the development of sensitive teeth. Such treatments require no cutting or sutures, which means they’re perfect for people with haemophilia and others. It’s a pain-free procedure, which means little to no discomfort and faster recovery times. In most cases, you’ll only need two appointments for the procedure in a two to four week period, with a few follow-ups to check for healing. There are virtually no risks involved, and your entire mouth is treated, as recommended by many professionals.
At National Periodontics, they are equipped with a PerioLase MVP-7 laser and know how to use it. This therapy option only targets the infected gum tissue and can determine what is healthy and infected. While you will still be required to maintain your oral health at home, it can be an excellent way to stop the damage and sometimes repair it, ensuring a healthier mouth. Plus, it may completely eradicate gum disease in your mouth. The LANAP treatment is an excellent choice for those who don’t want to deal with traditional surgery and still want to treat their gum disease efficiently and quickly.
