Revolutionary LANAP® Laser Gum Disease Treatment

Did you know that almost half of the population has some form of gum disease? Gum disease, also known as periodontitis, isn't commonly discussed, but when left untreated, this condition can have a major negative impact on your health and quality of life.

Key Facts About Gum Disease:

• Nearly 50% of American adults have gum disease
• Gum disease is linked to serious health problems including heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and pre-term low birth weight
• Only a small percentage of affected adults receive the treatment they need

Traditional gum disease treatments often involve cutting gum tissue or extracting teeth. The LANAP® protocol offers a breakthrough alternative, using the specialized PerioLase® MVP-7™ dental laser to vaporize bacteria deep within gum pockets while leaving healthy tissue completely intact.

The Connection Between Oral Health and Overall Wellness

The mouth truly is the window to the body. People with periodontal disease are significantly more likely to suffer from other inflammatory conditions. Beyond the physical health risks, patients with gum disease often feel less confident about themselves and live with the constant fear of losing their teeth.

Our office is certified in advanced laser treatments: LANAP for treating gum infections and LAPIP for treating implant infections.

How LANAP® Works

The LANAP® protocol utilizes the revolutionary PerioLase® MVP-7™ dental laser. During treatment, a tiny fiber—just the width of three human hairs—is gently inserted between your gum tissue and teeth. This precise fiber targets and destroys harmful bacteria deep within gum pockets without affecting any healthy tissue.

Because of the gentle nature of this procedure, patients typically see immediate improvements, including less bleeding when brushing and fresher breath. Recovery is dramatically easier than traditional surgery. After LANAP® treatment, you can drive yourself home, return to work, and resume your normal routine quickly.

Don't let gum disease interfere with living your life anymore!
