Is gum disease treatment making you anxious about discomfort and recovery? The PerioLase (LANAP®) laser system offers a revolutionary alternative to traditional periodontal procedures. This advanced protocol uses precise laser energy to remove diseased gum tissue while preserving healthy structures, resulting in minimal bleeding, reduced discomfort, and significantly shorter healing times. The PerioLase (LANAP®) represents the most sophisticated approach available for treating periodontal disease, offering both immediate relief and long-term gum health benefits.
At Enso Dental Arts, Dr. Maria Hiruma and periodontist Dr. Kevin Chen have embraced this FDA-approved technology because it aligns perfectly with our commitment to exceptional, relationship-based dental care. Our practice philosophy centers on creating a supportive environment where periodontal treatment addresses both clinical results and personal comfort. By incorporating the PerioLase (LANAP®) into our therapy options, our team combines advanced technology with compassionate care to provide effective gum disease treatment while minimizing disruption to your daily life.
The PerioLase (LANAP®) laser we use at Enso Dental Arts is specifically designed for soft tissue applications. This advanced technology operates by emitting a concentrated beam of light energy that precisely targets affected areas without damaging surrounding healthy tissue.
The PerioLase (LANAP®) laser offers several significant advantages over traditional dental instruments for periodontal treatment.
These benefits make the PerioLase (LANAP®) an excellent option for patients concerned about traditional gum surgery.
The first dental laser was approved by the FDA in 1990, and was a soft tissue laser primarily used for periodontal (gum) treatment.
The PerioLase (LANAP®) represents a revolutionary approach to treating periodontal disease. As a less invasive alternative to traditional gum surgery, PerioLase (LANAP®) targets infected areas with remarkable precision.
The procedure accomplishes several critical objectives for gum health restoration:
PerioLase (LANAP®) is performed by Dr. Kevin Chen, our in-house periodontist, offering patients a comfortable, effective treatment option with significantly reduced recovery time compared to conventional methods.
For patients with moderate gum disease, showing 4-5mm pockets and bleeding on probing (BOP), Dr. Hiruma offers Laser Pocket Disinfection (LPD). This procedure uses our dental laser at a lower setting to address early to moderate periodontal concerns.
The LPD procedure provides several therapeutic benefits for patients with moderate gum disease:
LPD is an excellent intermediate treatment for patients who don’t require full PerioLase (LANAP®) therapy but need more than standard cleaning to address their gum health concerns.
Beyond periodontal treatments, our dental laser enhances several other procedures that benefit from its precision and healing properties.
Our PerioLase (LANAP®) technology offers effective treatment for inflammation and infection around dental implants, helping preserve your investment and maintain oral health.
Quick PerioLase (LANAP®) treatment of cold sores can dramatically reduce healing time and discomfort, providing immediate relief to patients suffering from these painful lesions.
Following tooth extraction, our PerioLase (LANAP®) effectively sterilizes the socket before implant placement, reducing the risk of infection and promoting optimal healing.
