What is LANAP gum therapy, and when would I need it?

Posted By: | Published On: | LANAP

The advanced stages of periodontal disease, sometimes referred to by dental professionals as “periodontitis,” can negatively affect many parts of the smile. This condition, which starts as a simple infection, can flare up into a full-blown problem for patients who do not get an early diagnosis and seek treatment with a dental professional. 

LANAP Therapy in Aliso Viejo CA area

At Claire Cho, DDS in Aliso Viejo, California, Dr. Claire Cho and her team can evaluate patients and provide a definitive diagnosis of their condition. Once diagnosed, restorative treatments are often considered to repair the damage caused by the progressing infection. This may include LANAP gum treatment.

What is LANAP therapy?

LANAP is an acronym for the phrase “Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure.” This is an FDA-approved dental treatment that helps regenerate and repair the gum tissues following periodontitis. It is a standard practice at Claire Cho, DDS in Aliso Viejo, California, because of its many benefits. 

The LANAP procedure:

  • Requires less recovery and healing time
  • Significantly reduces post-operative pain and discomfort
  • Does not require foreign materials or grafting to restore the gum tissues
  • Minimizes the risk of potential gum recession following treatment
  • Is minimally invasive when compared to other techniques
  • Reduces bleeding and other unpleasant side effects
