Benefits of LANAP: A Modern Approach for Treating Gum Disease

The LANAP procedure is a modern laser-assisted treatment that offers numerous benefits for managing periodontal diseases. It has transformed the way we approach gum disease treatment. It is an effective treatment option for gum disease and increases patient satisfaction due to its minimally invasive nature. In this detailed explanation, we will delve into the primary advantages provided by LANAP.

  • Minimally Invasive Technology: LANAP Technology is minimally invasive. It is precise and can remove unhealthy tissue without damaging healthy tissues. This technique minimizes trauma to the gums, compared to traditional gum surgery which involves cutting and peeling off gum tissue.
  • Less Pain and Discomfort: The procedure is performed without stitching or incisions, which means less pain during and after the treatment. Most patients only experience mild discomfort, which can be treated by over-the-counter medications. It reduces the requirement for prescription medications.
  • Faster Recovery Time: Lasers can quickly stimulate the gums and result in a faster recovery time, allowing for the procedure to be completed in a single day, unlike traditional surgeries that require extended recovery periods.
  • Less Blood Loss: The laser used in LANAP helps reduce blood loss by coagulating the blood on contact. Patients with bleeding disorders or blood thinners will benefit from this treatment.
  • Improved Dental Health: The LANAP procedure removes bacteria, and diseased tissue and encourages healthy gums to attach to teeth. It decreases the depth and chances of losing natural teeth due to periodontal disease.
  • Increased Accuracy: By focusing only on the affected area of the gum and bone, more healthy tissue is preserved. It is vital to maintain the health and integrity of the dental structure.
  • Reduced Infection Risk: Laser sterilization can reduce the risk of infection. This creates a safer and cleaner healing environment.
  • Long-Term Benefits to Dental Health: The treatment of gum disease with LANAP can lead to an improvement in overall oral health. It is essential for the protection and maintenance of natural teeth. Healthy gums improve chewing, comfort, and aesthetics.
  • Improved Well-being: The treatment of periodontal disease with LANAP can have positive effects on overall health. Gum health is beneficial to overall health. It can reduce inflammation, and lower the risk of heart disease and diabetes.

These advantages show why LANAP is a popular option amongst patients and doctors. It is less invasive but highly effective at treating gum disease. Central Dental Associates' team is highly trained in this advanced technology and to achieve optimal results and ensure our patients receive quality care.

What to Expect Following Treatment

LANAP, a new laser-assisted procedure, is the beginning of a new chapter in your oral health. This innovative treatment not only addresses periodontal issues immediately but also lays the foundation for long-term gum health and overall wellness. What can you expect after LANAP treatment?

  • Immediate Post-Procedure Care

    After the LANAP procedure, you may experience some tenderness or swelling. It is normal and usually has mild symptoms because the procedure is minimally invasive. We recommend the steps following your procedure:

    • Soft Diet: Stick to a soft diet for the first few days. Smoothies, yogurts, and soups are excellent choices.
    • Maintain Oral Hygiene: Oral hygiene is essential. Avoid brushing the treated area for a few days. Brush the other areas as normal. You will be given specific instructions about how to use special mouthwash during this period.
    • Avoid Smoking: Smoking can harm the healing process. After the LANAP procedure, it is best to avoid smoking.

  • Healing and Recovery

    Healing is typically much quicker with LANAP than with traditional gum surgery. You may see a difference within the first couple of weeks.

    • Less Gum Bleeding: You will notice less bleeding from your gums when you brush or floss.
    • Reduced Pain and Swelling: The initial swelling or discomfort should subside after a week.

  • Long-Term Maintenance and Benefits

    The results of LANAP can last a long time, but as with any dental procedure, its durability is dependent on how you care for yourself after treatment and what lifestyle choices you make.

    • After-Care: It's important to make regular follow-up visits at CDA to monitor healing and prevent future periodontal issues. These appointments are scheduled according to the individual needs of every patient.
    • Oral Hygiene: Maintaining good oral hygiene is important. Use of recommended oral care products, regular brushing, and flossing, as well as using the products as directed will help maintain gum health.
    • Routine Dental Cleanings: Routine dental cleanings are important to prevent periodontal disease and maintain good oral health.

  • Health and Lifestyle Improvements

    The LANAP program will improve your health, and can even improve the quality of your life.

    • Confidence and a Better Smile: A healthy smile and healthy gums will improve your social interactions and boost your confidence.
