Patients in Ft. Lauderdale ask – What is LANAP?

Ok – you’ve heard the term “LANAP” (maybe from your dentist, periodontist or an informed friend) – but what does it really mean?

Is LANAP right for you?

LANAP stands for laser-assisted new attachment procedure.

LANAP – Treating Gum Disease

This procedure, a dental laser, is used to treat your gum disease. And it does so very effectively, efficiently and is more comfortable than other procedures.

LANAP treatment kills the bacteria, removes the infected gum tissue and leaves healthy tissue completely alone. It also “closes” the gums up for a short period of time so your body can heal.

And as your gums heal, they re-attach to your teeth and your gums are much healthier than they were before the treatment.

At the Broward Center for Laser Periodontics and Implants, we provide a number of gum treatments – including LANAP laser therapy – depending on your specific need.
