How LANAP Therapy Can Help Heal Your Gums Faster

Gum disease can be a significant issue that affects your oral health, comfort, and confidence. If left untreated, it can lead to tooth loss and other health complications. Traditional treatments often involve invasive procedures, but advances in dental technology have paved the way for more effective, minimally invasive options like LANAP therapy. At Palm Beach Center for Periodontics and Implant Dentistry, we are proud to offer LANAP (Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure), a revolutionary laser-based gum treatment that promotes faster healing and better results.

What Is LANAP Therapy?

LANAP therapy is an FDA-cleared laser treatment designed to target and treat periodontal disease without the need for cutting or sutures. Instead of relying on traditional surgical methods to remove infected gum tissue, LANAP uses laser energy to selectively remove harmful bacteria and diseased tissue while preserving healthy gum tissue.
 

This minimally invasive procedure encourages your body’s natural ability to regenerate bone and gum tissue, making it an ideal option for patients looking for faster recovery times and a more comfortable treatment experience.
 

How LANAP Therapy Works

• Assessment and Diagnosis: Our periodontist will carefully assess the extent of your gum disease and determine if LANAP therapy is right for you.




• Laser Treatment: Using a specialized laser, we will gently remove bacteria and diseased tissue from the periodontal pockets.
   

• Clot Formation: The laser creates a stable blood clot to seal the pocket, preventing bacteria from re-entering and promoting healing.
   

• Regeneration: Over time, the treated gums begin to heal, with new attachment forming between the gum tissue and the teeth.
   

Benefits of LANAP Therapy for Faster Healing

• Minimally Invasive: Unlike traditional gum surgery that involves cutting and stitching, LANAP therapy is far less invasive. This means there is less trauma to your gums and surrounding tissue, leading to faster recovery.
   

• Faster Healing Times: Because LANAP promotes natural tissue regeneration and minimizes damage to healthy gum tissue, healing times are significantly reduced compared to traditional surgical methods.
   

• Reduced Discomfort: LANAP therapy is more comfortable both during and after the procedure. Many patients experience minimal discomfort and swelling, allowing them to return to their daily activities sooner.
   

• Promotes Bone and Gum Regeneration: LANAP not only removes infection but also stimulates your body’s natural healing response, encouraging new bone and gum tissue growth.
   

• Preserves Healthy Tissue: The precision of the laser ensures that only the infected tissue is removed while preserving as much healthy gum tissue as possible.
   

• Safe and Effective: LANAP is an FDA-approved procedure that has been clinically proven to provide long-lasting results for patients suffering from moderate to severe gum disease.
   

Is LANAP Right for You?

If you’re experiencing symptoms of gum disease such as bleeding gums, gum recession, or chronic bad breath, LANAP therapy may be the ideal solution. It’s especially beneficial for patients who want to avoid invasive surgery and are looking for a treatment option that prioritizes comfort and quick healing.
