What Is LANAP Laser Gum Therapy?

LANAP laser therapy involves using a laser instead of a scalpel to cut away diseased gum tissue and reduce the depth of the pockets where plaque and bacteria live. 

Here are some of the benefits of LANAP laser therapy.

  • Minimally invasive option
  • The laser kills existing bacteria, disinfecting as it treats
  • Gum regeneration
  • Precision to cut and treat diseased gum tissue
  • Much more comfortable than other treatments
  • Less pain both during and after LANAP treatment
  • Stimulates healthy bone growth and renewal, which reduces the need for future extractions 

Moreover, LANAP is the only periodontal regeneration therapy backed by research and proven to work to treat gum disease.

What to Expect During the LANAP Procedure

Patients are treated with LANAP laser therapy in the comfort of Dr. Cho’s dental practice, Claire Cho, DDS in Aliso Viejo, California. The first step is measuring the depth of the pockets where the bacteria and plaque currently live in your gums. The second step involves a pulsed laser light used to kill the bacteria causing the gum disease. 

LANAP laser therapy only treats the infected gum tissues and leaves the surrounding healthy tissues unharmed. Next, Dr. Claire Cho removes any calculus that has built up beneath the gum line. To do this, she uses an ultrasonic scaler. Last, the team will check your bite and adjust it as needed so that there won’t be excessive pressure placed on the affected areas of the mouth.
