Are you dealing with gum disease or feeling frustrated with traditional treatments that seem to offer only temporary relief? Gum laser surgery, specifically LANAP (Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure), may be the solution you’ve been searching for. At Coral Springs Smiles, we are proud to offer this cutting-edge, minimally invasive treatment that can restore your gum health and give you the smile you deserve.
In this blog, we’ll explore what gum laser surgery is, how it works, and why it might be the right choice for you. Let’s dive in!
What Is Gum Laser Surgery?
Gum laser surgery, also known as LANAP, is a modern treatment for gum disease that uses laser technology to remove infected tissue and promote healing without the need for traditional surgical methods. Unlike older methods that involved cutting the gums, stitches, and a long recovery time, LANAP provides a more comfortable, faster solution with less pain and faster healing.
At Coral Springs Smiles, we use LANAP to treat gum disease effectively while preserving the natural structure of your gums. The procedure uses a specialized laser to target and remove infected tissue while stimulating the growth of healthy tissue. This means you get a more precise treatment with fewer risks and a quicker recovery.
Why Choose LANAP?
You may be wondering, “Why is LANAP better than traditional gum surgery?”
Here are some key reasons why LANAP is the preferred choice for many patients:
- Minimally invasive: LANAP doesn’t require cutting or stitching of the gums, making it much less invasive than traditional surgery.
- Reduced discomfort: Most patients experience minimal pain during and after the procedure, thanks to the precision of the laser.
- Faster recovery: With LANAP, you can return to your normal activities much sooner compared to traditional gum surgery, as the procedure doesn’t involve extensive recovery time.
- Better results: LANAP not only removes infected tissue but also stimulates healthy tissue growth, helping to reattach your gums to the teeth and improve overall gum health.
How Does LANAP Work?
Curious about how LANAP works?
The procedure is relatively simple, and here’s what you can expect:
- Laser Cleaning
The first step involves the laser removing the infected gum tissue. The laser targets the bacteria and diseased tissue, leaving the healthy tissue intact. This allows for precise treatment without damaging the surrounding gums or teeth. - Laser Stimulation
After the infected tissue is removed, the laser is used to stimulate the underlying bone and tissue. This promotes the healing process and encourages the reattachment of the gum tissue to the teeth. - Healing and Recovery
With the infection gone and the gums reattached, the healing process begins. Most patients can recover quickly with minimal pain, swelling, or bleeding. Best of all, the risk of infection is significantly reduced compared to traditional methods.
Benefits of LANAP for Gum Disease
LANAP offers several benefits for individuals suffering from gum disease, including:
- Restores gum health: LANAP helps eliminate bacteria and infection, allowing your gums to heal naturally.
- Prevents further damage: By treating gum disease early, LANAP can prevent more severe problems like tooth loss and bone erosion.
- Less discomfort and pain: Traditional gum surgery can be painful, but LANAP significantly reduces discomfort, so you can get back to your daily life faster.
- Long-term results: LANAP promotes lasting gum health, meaning fewer future visits and long-term care for your smile.
Is LANAP Right for You?
LANAP can be an effective solution for people who are dealing with various stages of gum disease, from mild to severe. If you notice signs like red, swollen gums, bleeding while brushing or flossing, or bad breath that won’t go away, you may have gum disease and could benefit from LANAP treatment.
