LANAP is one of the coolest procedures that we offer at Dental by Design. LANAP stands for Laser-assisted new attachment procedure and is a noninvasive procedure that we offer to help target and treat gum disease.
How Does LANAP Work?
Here’s how the LANAP procedure works:
- First, we perform an exam to determine the level of treatment that you need. This helps us determine which areas are infected and need to be targeted.
- We use an ultrasonic laser to remove the plaque-causing bacteria. These areas are impossible to reach with traditional methods of oral hygiene like brushing and flossing.
- Next, we use ultrasonic scalers to eliminate the tartar that has built up and causes gum disease deep within the pockets of your gums.
- When this is finished, we will use the laser to reconnect your gum tissue to the roots of your teeth. This will build a strong foundation for your future oral health so you can say goodbye to gum disease for good.
- We will answer any questions and provide recommendations for you to keep your gums and teeth healthy. This usually includes a proper oral hygiene routine and patient education. We want you to maintain a future filled with pristine oral health!
Benefits of LANAP at Dental by Design
There are plenty of benefits that come from choosing LANAP over traditional gum disease treatment. These are some of the noteworthy things you can expect during your procedure:
- We use advanced dental technology that is precise and delivers accurate results faster than traditional methods of gum disease treatment. No scalpels or incisions are required during your procedure.
- The LANAP procedure is significantly less invasive than traditional gum disease treatment. This means less pain and a faster recovery time.
- The LANAP procedure is comfortable and efficient. Patients often require no sedation and experience no pain during the procedure.
- A faster recovery time means that your mouth will be less sensitive and you can return to eating your normal food and performing daily activities faster after you leave our office.
There aren’t enough amazing things that we can say about this groundbreaking procedure. LANAP is efficient and provides incredible results when treating infected areas for patients experiencing gum disease.
What is LAPT?
LAPT is another type of laser dentistry treatment we do here at Dental by Design. Laser-assisted periodontal treatment (LAPT) is a modern and innovative approach to treating gum disease. It involves using a dental laser to remove the infected tissue and bacteria that cause periodontitis.
This treatment is less invasive than traditional gum surgery and has a shorter recovery time. LAPT is also known to promote faster healing and less discomfort for patients. It is an effective way to restore oral health for individuals suffering from gum disease.
Why LAPT or LANAP Instead of Traditional Surgery or Deep Cleaning?
LANAP is a much faster procedure than traditional surgery or deep cleaning. Our precise ultrasonic scalers make it possible to remove tartar thoroughly in just over an hour. We also use the laser to reconnect your gum tissue to your tooth root. Most patients can have the entire procedure completed in just one to two visits.
Deep cleaning provides many of the same results, but the process is more arduous and requires more visits to our office and a longer recovery time. We use LANAP and advanced dental technology to make your gum disease treatment as convenient as possible.
Are LAPT And LANAP Painful?
The best part about LANAP therapy is that it is precise. Traditional treatment for advanced gum disease is invasive and involves gum surgery and incisions. LANAP is noninvasive and we don’t have to make any incisions.
Occasionally, LANAP requires the use of dental sedation, but often the procedure is entirely painless and patients experience no discomfort. In other words, there is no reason to feel anxious or feel nervous about visiting our office to have a LANAP procedure performed.
