In recent years, advancements in dental technology have transformed the landscape of periodontal care, offering patients less invasive and more effective treatment options. One such breakthrough is LANAP, or Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure, a game-changer in the field of periodontics, now offered at Pacific Coast Periodontics.
LANAP is a minimally invasive laser gum surgery that utilizes laser technology to target and eliminate diseased gum tissue while preserving healthy tissue. This revolutionary approach not only ensures a more comfortable experience for patients but also promotes faster healing and reduced recovery times, making it a hallmark of the comprehensive care provided at Pacific Coast Periodontics.
Minimally Invasive: Traditional gum surgeries often involve cutting and suturing, leading to discomfort and extended recovery periods. LANAP at Pacific Coast Periodontics, however, requires no incisions or stitches, making it a less invasive and more patient-friendly option.
Faster Healing: The precision of laser technology results in minimal trauma to surrounding tissues, allowing for quicker healing. Patients can expect reduced pain and inflammation, contributing to a faster return to their daily routines.
Preservation of Healthy Tissue: LANAP selectively targets diseased tissue while leaving healthy gum intact. This not only enhances the effectiveness of the procedure but also contributes to the long-term health of the gums.
Less Discomfort: With LANAP, patients experience less bleeding, swelling, and post-operative pain compared to traditional surgical methods. This makes it an attractive choice for those seeking a more comfortable periodontal treatment journey.
The LANAP procedure involves the use of a specialized laser that selectively targets and removes bacteria and diseased tissue from the gum pocket. The laser also stimulates the regeneration of supporting tissues, promoting the reattachment of the gum to the tooth surface.
