Gum disease, or periodontal disease, can make everyday life uncomfortable. From swollen, bleeding gums to persistent bad breath, the symptoms can lead to embarrassment and pain. If left untreated, gum disease can worsen over time, destroying the tissue and bone that support your teeth.
In the long term, this could result in tooth loss, and studies have shown links between gum disease and severe conditions like heart disease and diabetes. The key to avoiding these serious complications is early gum disease treatment. Diamond District Dental Cosmetic and Implant Dentistry in New York, NY, offers an advanced LANAP solution. This laser-assisted gum disease treatment targets infected gum tissue while promoting natural healing.
Traditional gum surgery involves cutting away diseased tissue and often requires stitches. This invasive procedure can lead to a lengthy and painful recovery. On the other hand, LANAP is a minimally invasive periodontal disease treatment that uses a laser to remove infected tissue without needing scalpels or sutures.
While traditional surgery may result in significant gum recession, LANAP preserves healthy tissue, maintaining the natural appearance of your gums. Recovery from LANAP is typically faster, allowing you to return to your daily routine sooner. LANAP is a modern alternative to consider for patients seeking a less painful and more effective treatment for gum disease.
The LANAP gingivitis treatment begins with a thorough evaluation. After identifying the areas of gum disease, we will use a specialized laser to gently remove the infected tissue. The laser also helps stimulate bone regeneration, promoting the healing of the supporting structures around the teeth.
Since LANAP periodontitis treatment is minimally invasive, the treatment causes less discomfort and bleeding than traditional gum surgery. Patients typically experience a quicker recovery and can resume their normal activities shortly after the procedure. LANAP is a highly effective gum disease treatment for both gingivitis and periodontitis, offering long-term benefits for oral health.
