Key Differences between Traditional Gum Surgery and LANAP® Laser Treatment

• Recession: Traditional surgery requires cutting of healthy gum tissue with a scalpel. Some healthy tissue is removed to get rid of the infection. This can cause unsightly recession and thus tooth sensitivity for the patient. With LANAP® treatment, the laser targets and removes ONLY the infected tissue, leaving healthy tissue intact.
• Pain: Traditional surgery can be uncomfortable and require pain medication and extensive recovery time. Many patients opt out of treatment due to these factors. Patients who receive the LANAP® protocol experience minimal pain and can usually return to their daily activities almost immediately.
• Healing time: With LANAP® treatment, the PerioLase® MVP-7™ kills all of the bacteria and reduces inflammation and bleeding, allowing your body to heal itself naturally.
• Long term results: Traditional gum surgery has been shown to be successful. However, with LANAP® laser treatment, we have more predictable results of bone regeneration and pocket reduction with reattachment of tissue. We can often save teeth that were once thought to be hopeless.
