What to Expect from LANAP?

Being diagnosed with periodontal disease can be scary, but fortunately, there are treatments that your dentist in Denver can perform to help you feel confident in your smile again, such as the LANAP procedure. Doing some research about this procedure on your own can help you feel comfortable when you go in to have it performed. In order to be prepared, read on to learn what to expect from the LANAP procedure.

The LANAP procedure only uses a local anesthetic, unless you wish for extra comfort. During the treatment, a thin laser will be placed between your teeth and gums to remove inflammation, infection, bacteria, and debris. Once the tissue is open and disinfected, your dentist will clean any build-up or tartar on your teeth. Your procedure will end with a final laser application to promote proper healing. Before you know it, you will be happy with your smile once again.
