Laser periodontal therapy, or laser-assisted new attachment procedure
Laser Gum Treatment
Laser periodontal therapy, or laser-assisted new attachment procedure (LANAP), is a surgical procedure for the treatment of periodontitis, intended to achieve success through regeneration rather than resection. It has been used successfully in dental practices for three decades. Laser periodontal therapy potentially offers a more comfortable procedure option for treatments involving hard or soft tissue compared to traditional or conventional alternatives.
LASER stands for “light amplification by the stimulated emission of radiation.” The instrument will generate energy in an extremely narrow and focused beam. This beam then produces a reaction when it hits tissue, allowing it to either reshape or remove the tissue focused on.
Traynor Periodontics & Implants provides a variety of surgical and non-surgical services for the treatment of periodontal issues. We are well-known for our excellent communication style and warm presence. We are extremely effective with all clinical practices due to our consistent engagement with the innovative, technological improvements in the dental industry. We pride ourselves on the fact that we are very conservative in our treatment recommendations and limit surgery to the areas where it is absolutely necessary. Call Traynor Periodontics & Implants at 203-661-5885 with any questions or to make an appointment for a possible laser gum treatment.
As gum disease progressively gets worse, your gums begin to separate from your teeth, and pockets start to form where bacteria can now flourish. Without any proper intervention, you will experience considerable damage to your gum tissue, bone degeneration, and tooth loss. The trained experts at Traynor Periodontics & Implants will use a laser to remove diseased tissue without damaging the healthy tissue. Following your laser periodontal therapy, the gum tissue regenerates and reattaches to the tooth to deliver a strong, healthy, and comfortable smile once again.
Lasers are quickly making dental treatments more efficient, comfortable, and cost effective. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved laser periodontal therapy as a viable treatment option.
Delivering energy in the form of light
How Does Laser Periodontal Therapy Work?
All lasers perform by delivering energy in the form of light. When used in laser gum treatment, the laser acts as a cutting instrument or a vaporizer of the damaged soft tissue that it focuses on.
Laser gum treatment is an extremely efficient way to re-shape or re-contour gum tissue. Excess gum tissue or an uneven gum line can negatively affect your self-confidence. Teeth that appear uneven, misshapen, too long, or too short, can affect the perception of your smile. Laser energy removes the tissue quickly and painlessly and allows Traynor Periodontics & Implants to pinpoint specific tissue precisely without resulting in excessive bleeding. The laser also cauterizes as it works, reducing bleeding and sterilizing the area during the procedure. Common laser gum treatment procedures include:
