If your gums are in bad shape due to the affects of gum disease you might be seeking treatment. In our Ft. Lauderdale office, we treat our patients using LANAP Therapy and have been doing so for the last number of years.

Our patients very much appreciate this option as the advancement of laser technology has greatly improved the patient experience, making the treatment of gum disease much less painful and worry-free.

What is LANAP exactly?

LANAP is a treatment for gum disease, specifically when infected tissue needs to be addressed. Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure (LANAP) uses a fine laser to eliminate diseased or dead tissue. LANAP offers many benefits over the traditional way of combating infected tissue which is to use surgical procedures involving cutting away of bad tissue. The surgical procedures require cutting, suturing of stitches and extended recovery time.

What are the Benefits of LANAP?

• Significantly less pain from the procedure
• Less bleeding
• Less root sensitivity
• Minimal swelling and downtime after the procedure
