Understanding Laser Gum Treatment

LANAP uses the gentle power of laser energy instead of scalpels, drills, or dental scalers. When completed by a certified LANAP periodontist like Dr. Farah, your procedure will be precise and comfortable while minimizing any associated anxiety or pain. Using a dental laser, he will gently vaporize diseased tissue and kill bacteria on contact deep within the periodontal pockets around teeth. Next, the teeth are cleared of tartar and damaged bone is modified. Unique to the specialized PerioLase® MVP-7™ dental laser used for LANAP, Dr. Farah uses the targeted laser energy to create a fibrin clot in the pockets around each tooth and jumpstart the regeneration of new tissues. As the site heals, healthy gums reattach around teeth to reduce pocket depth and seal out future bacterial plaque and tartar buildup.
