LANAP® therapy, or Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure, represents a modern approach to treating periodontal disease, employing the specialized PerioLase® soft tissue laser to precisely target and remove diseased tissue and bacteria from the mouth. Our skilled dentists utilize this innovative technique to meticulously cleanse the tooth roots of calculus and plaque, the primary culprits behind harmful bacterial growth. Following this, the laser is adeptly used to sterilize and clean the periodontal pockets, ensuring a thorough disinfection. The procedure concludes with the repositioning of the connective gum tissue over the treated areas, setting the stage for natural and efficient healing.
