LANAP® (Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure) represents a revolutionary approach to treating advanced gum disease without the discomfort and recovery time associated with traditional periodontal surgery. This FDA-approved laser therapy offers Albertson residents a minimally invasive solution for treating periodontal disease while preserving healthy tissue and promoting natural healing and regeneration. If you’re struggling with bleeding gums, a receding gumline, or other symptoms of gum disease, LANAP® might be the gentle yet effective solution you’ve been looking for.
At Enso Dental Arts in Albertson, NY, our team provides this state-of-the-art laser treatment as part of our comprehensive periodontal care services. Led by Dr. Maria Hiruma, a Diplomate of the International Congress of Oral Implantologists with expertise in periodontics, and Dr. Kevin Chen, who has advanced training in periodontology, our practice offers specialized care for patients suffering from all stages of gum disease. Our modern approach focuses on patient comfort while delivering exceptional clinical outcomes.
LANAP® utilizes the Periolase MVP-7 laser, a specialized dental laser designed specifically for treating periodontal disease. Unlike traditional gum surgery, that requires cutting and suturing of gum tissue, LANAP® works by selectively targeting and eliminating bacteria and infected tissue while leaving healthy tissue intact. This revolutionary approach enables the treatment of advanced gum disease without the trauma associated with conventional surgical methods.
During the procedure, the laser’s precise wavelength targets only the diseased tissue and harmful bacteria hiding deep in periodontal pockets. The laser energy effectively eliminates the infection while simultaneously stimulating the body’s natural healing processes. This stimulation is a crucial component that helps regenerate bone tissue and create the conditions necessary for reattachment of healthy gum tissue to the tooth surface, potentially saving teeth that might otherwise be compromised.
The LANAP® protocol follows a carefully sequenced process that typically takes just one or two appointments to complete. Your treatment at Enso Dental Arts begins with a comprehensive periodontal assessment to determine if you’re an appropriate candidate for the procedure. Once confirmed, the actual LANAP® treatment proceeds through several phases.
First, our dentists measure the depth of your periodontal pockets to establish a baseline for treatment. Then, the Periolase MVP-7 laser is used to target and eliminate bacteria and diseased tissue from these pockets. Following laser treatment, specialized instruments gently remove tartar from the root surfaces. The laser is then applied a second time to create a stable blood clot and seal the area, creating an ideal environment for healing. This blood clot acts as a protective barrier, allowing new attachment to form without the interference of unwanted tissue.
LANAP® offers significant advantages over traditional periodontal surgery for patients in Albertson suffering from gum disease. The procedure results in minimal discomfort both during and after treatment, with most patients reporting they return to their normal activities within 24 hours. There’s typically less bleeding, swelling, and sensitivity compared to conventional surgery.
The laser’s precision means healthy tissue remains untouched, promoting faster healing and reducing the risk of gum recession. This targeted approach preserves more of your natural teeth and gum structure. Additionally, LANAP® has been shown to stimulate bone regeneration in the jaw, potentially reversing some of the damage caused by periodontal disease and helping to stabilize teeth that might otherwise be lost.
The recovery period following LANAP® treatment is remarkably shorter than with traditional periodontal surgery. Most patients experience minimal downtime, often returning to their normal activities the day after surgery. While some minor sensitivity may occur, it’s typically manageable with over-the-counter pain relievers and subsides quickly.
After your LANAP® procedure at Enso Dental Arts, we’ll provide you with detailed instructions for post-treatment care. This typically includes following a soft food diet for a short period and maintaining meticulous oral hygiene practices. Regular follow-up appointments will be scheduled to monitor your healing progress and ensure optimal results. Long-term success depends on continuing with a consistent periodontal maintenance program, which we’ll customize to your specific needs.
