The Benefits of the LANAP Procedure

If you have advanced periodontal disease, the LANAP treatment near Denver can get rid of bacteria and damaged tissues that are causing your problems. Keep reading to learn more about the treatment and the benefits it brings:

It Requires No Cutting

LANAP Procedures at Colorado Advanced Dentistry
Other treatments for gum disease require the dentist to cut into the gums to get rid of the bacteria. If you choose the LANAP treatment, though, you do not have to go through a serious oral procedure to get the treatment that you need. You will only need a local anesthetic to numb the area. Most patients experience very little pain throughout the treatment.

It Is a Fast Procedure

The LANAP procedure can be performed in just two hours. When you go to your dentist for this laser treatment, he or she will treat one side of your mouth by focusing pulsed lase light to get rid of the damaged tissue and bacteria that are causing your infection. Since it is not very harsh on the gums, most people feel well enough to return to their normal activities right after the procedure. You will need to return for one more two-hour treatment to finish the other side of your mouth.

It Offers Long-Lasting Results

Since the laser can target the bacteria in the gums, it is able to provide patients with better results than other gum disease treatments. About 98 percent of people who get the LANAP procedure still have healthy gums five years later. If you want to get rid of periodontal disease and maintain a healthy smile, you should talk to your dentist about the LANAP procedure.

It Is Safe for Patients

Some gum disease treatments are not safe for people with other health issues. The LANAP procedure is a completely safe way for a wide range of people to get the periodontal treatment they need. Even patients with diabetes, HIV, and hemophilia can get this procedure. Medications like Plavix or aspirin will not interfere with a person’s ability to get LANAP and improve the health of their gums.
