Gum disease surgery often requires cutting and stitching, which can lead to a longer and more uncomfortable recovery. While it’s an effective periodontitis treatment, many patients are hesitant due to how invasive it is and how much time recovery takes.
LANAP laser gum disease treatment offers a modern alternative, using laser technology to precisely target diseased tissue while preserving healthy gums. This means less pain, quicker healing, and a more predictable approach.
Laser Pocket Disinfection (LPD) is a dental procedure provided by Bosque Dental is designed to target and eliminate harmful bacteria residing in these gum pockets, inaccessible through standard cleaning methods. Typically performed as an adjunct to regular dental cleanings, LPD utilizes a specialized dental laser, such as the FDA-cleared LANAP protocol, to safely pass through healthy tissue and eradicate bacteria and their toxins. This procedure, lasting only 10 to 15 minutes, is painless and requires no anesthesia, offering immediate effects without any downtime. By effectively removing harmful bacteria and disrupting their biofilm, Laser Pocket Disinfection promotes healthier gums and aids in preserving teeth that might otherwise be lost.
LPD specifically targets bacteria causing gum disease without affecting healthy structures, unlike other dental lasers used for different purposes.
By reducing inflammation and eliminating bacteria, LPD creates an environment conducive to natural healing.
LPD can help reverse symptoms of gingivitis and is suitable for patients on a perio-maintenance program.
LPD is quick and painless, with the option of using a topical anesthetic for sensitive individuals.
LPD has no known side effects over 25 years of therapy, ensuring safety around dental fixtures like crowns and implants.
LPD reduces harmful bacteria, potentially benefiting patients scheduled for surgery by minimizing oral bacteria entering the bloodstream.
Treating gingivitis is crucial as gum disease is linked to serious health issues, and early intervention can prevent its progression.
LPD complements Laser Periodontal Surgery by reducing bacteria post-surgery during routine hygiene visits.
