What Should I Know About LANAP Treatment in Ft. Lauderdale?

People who have been diagnosed gum disease (or believe they are suffering from the effects of gum disease) will likely hear about a solution called LANAP or LANAP Surgery. Perhaps they’ll hear about it from their dentist or periodontist – or maybe they’ve done some research online.

But let’s start with some of the basics.

What is LANAP?

LANAP is the acronym for Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure. This approach, while not terribly new any longer, has been and is revolutionizing today’s treatment of periodontal disease.

What’s the Benefit of LANAP Treatment?

Very simply, LANAP therapy provides significantly less pain, recession, bleeding and root sensitivity after treatment. Patients also see minimal swelling and downtime which allows their mouth to ‘get back to normal’ more quickly.

Treatment of gum disease with lasers is, overall, just better than previous surgical methods.

How Long does Lanap Treatment take?

For most patients, gum disease treatment with LANAP can often be accomplished in just one visit – great news for patients who are not overly excited about visiting the periodontist!

Is LANAP right for me?

LANAP or Laser Therapy can be a great solution for many people. It’s best to speak with our office or your dentist to determine how LANAP can be used to treat specific dental issues you may be experiencing.
