What Is LANAP?
LANAP is a laser-based treatment, also called laser gum surgery, specifically designed to target and eliminate the bacteria causing gum disease. Unlike traditional methods that involve cutting and stitching, LANAP uses a specialized laser to gently remove diseased tissue while preserving healthy gum tissue. This means less pain, faster recovery, and a lower risk of infection.
How Is LANAP Performed?
Here’s a step-by-step look at how Dr. Trujillo performs LANAP:
- Assessment: The process begins with a thorough assessment of your gums. Dr. Trujillo will measure the depth of your gum pockets to understand the severity of the disease.
- Laser Application: Using the PerioLase MVP-7 laser, Dr. Trujillo will carefully target and remove the infected tissue from your gum pockets. This laser is precise, ensuring that only the diseased tissue is removed.
- Tartar Removal: Once the infected tissue is removed, the laser helps to decontaminate the area, and any tartar buildup on the teeth is removed using ultrasonic scalers.
- Blood Clot Formation: The laser helps to form a stable blood clot, which seals the gum pocket and promotes healing. This step also encourages the regeneration of healthy tissue and bone.
- Healing: The body’s natural healing processes take over, with the laser treatment stimulating the regeneration of connective tissues and bone.
Benefits of LANAP
LANAP offers numerous advantages over traditional gum surgery:
- Fast Recovery Time: Because LANAP is minimally invasive, patients experience quicker healing times. You can return to your normal activities much sooner than with traditional surgery.
- Less Pain: The laser’s precision means less trauma to your gums, resulting in significantly less pain and discomfort both during and after the procedure.
- Lower Risk of Infection: The laser sterilizes the treated area, reducing the risk of infection. This is a significant benefit, especially for patients with compromised immune systems.
- Gum Disease Reversion: LANAP not only removes the diseased tissue but also promotes the regeneration of healthy tissue. This can lead to the reattachment of the gums to the teeth, effectively reversing the effects of gum disease.
- Availability to Most Patients: LANAP is suitable for a wide range of patients, including those with health conditions that might make traditional surgery risky.
