Exceptional LANAP Laser Gum Surgery for Patients in the Greater Mesa, AZ, Area
LANAP (Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure) is a cutting-edge dental treatment offered by Alluring Smiles in the Mesa, Arizona, metro area. LANAP utilizes laser technology to effectively address gum disease, offering numerous benefits compared to traditional gum surgery methods. Approved by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration), LANAP has emerged as a revolutionary approach in periodontal care, resembling the transformative impact that LASIK has had on vision correction.
How Does LANAP Laser Gum Surgery Work?
LANAP involves the use of a specific laser, the PerioLase MVP-7, which targets and eliminates diseased gum tissue and bacteria without causing harm to healthy tissue. The procedure is minimally invasive and significantly less traumatic compared to traditional gum surgery techniques.
Laser Precision
The laser used in LANAP surgery is highly precise, allowing dental professionals to selectively target and remove infected tissue while leaving surrounding healthy tissue intact. This precision promotes quicker healing and reduces post-operative discomfort for patients.
Regeneration and Healing
Following the removal of diseased tissue, the laser stimulates the body’s natural healing process. It helps in the formation of blood clots, seals the treated area, and encourages the regeneration of gum tissue, bone, and ligaments that support the teeth.
What Are the Benefits of LANAP Laser Gum Surgery?
LANAP boasts a wide range of advantages for patients including:
Minimally Invasive
LANAP is less invasive than traditional surgery, preserving healthy gum tissue and reducing discomfort during and after the procedure. Patients often experience less bleeding and swelling.
Faster Recovery
Compared to conventional gum surgery, LANAP typically results in a quicker recovery period. Many patients can resume normal activities within a day or two after the procedure.
Reduced Discomfort
The laser’s precision and minimally invasive nature contribute to reduced discomfort during and after the surgery. Patients usually require less pain medication post-treatment.
Promotes Regeneration
LANAP doesn’t just remove diseased tissue; it also stimulates the body’s natural healing mechanisms, aiding in the regeneration of supportive tissues around the teeth.
Preserves Healthy Tissue
The targeted nature of the laser ensures that healthy tissue remains unharmed, preserving gum health and aesthetics.
FDA Approval and Comparison to LASIK
Similar to LASIK for vision correction, LANAP has gained FDA approval as an advanced and effective treatment for gum disease. Its minimally invasive approach, precise targeting of affected areas, and promotion of tissue regeneration are akin to the transformative effects that LASIK has had in vision correction surgery. Both procedures have revolutionized their respective fields by offering patients safer, more comfortable, and faster recovery options compared to traditional methods.
