LANAP® Laser Dentistry- Brooklyn, NYC
Experience Advanced Gum Care with Less Pain and a Faster Recovery
LANAP® (Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure) is an advanced gum disease treatment that uses laser technology instead of scalpels or sutures. This minimally invasive procedure removes harmful bacteria and diseased tissue while preserving healthy gums and even stimulating bone regeneration.
With LANAP laser gum disease treatment in Brooklyn, NY, our team at Always Beautiful Smile can restore gum health, reduce infection, and support long-term oral health with less discomfort and downtime compared to traditional surgery.
The first step in restoring your gum health is a comprehensive evaluation with our team. We’ll use detailed measurements and advanced digital diagnostic imaging to identify areas where periodontal disease has damaged the bone sockets supporting your teeth.
You may not need laser gum disease treatment in every area, and we’ll include other types of gingivitis treatment in appropriate areas as part of your oral health plan.
Before beginning your LANAP procedure, we’ll numb the area to keep you completely comfortable throughout the process. Then, we’ll insert a tiny laser fiber, about the width of three human hairs, into the pocket between the tooth and gum tissue.
We’ll slowly walk the laser tip around the pocket, exposing the tissues to a special wavelength of light that vaporizes bacteria and diseased cells while leaving healthy cells intact.
After completely sterilizing the periodontal pocket with the laser, we’ll flush out debris and remove hardened deposits on the root surface. We use ultrasonic instruments that vibrate to gently break up tartar and wash the area clean with flowing water. Depending on your specific situation, we may also slightly reshape or adjust the bone around your tooth during this step to create the best possible conditions for long-term healing.
When the pocket is completely clean, we’ll apply the laser again. The second laser application uses a lower intensity setting that finishes sterilizing the pocket. It also stimulates growth factors that boost gum healing and bone regeneration.
The second laser application stimulates the gum cells to create a sticky clot full of powerful healing compounds. We’ll gently press this clot against the tooth surface, sealing the area.
This will help hold the gums in place while sealing out any bacteria or other contaminants that could compromise your healing. We’ll also adjust your bite to ensure it is balanced and harmonious to prevent excess strain on the tooth or gums during the healing process.
LANAP provides a fast and comfortable healing process compared to surgical periodontitis treatment. Although your teeth and gums may feel sore or tender for the first few days, most people can return to a normal schedule right away.
We’ll provide detailed instructions on how to care for your healing gums over the next weeks and months as true healing occurs. Bone regeneration will slowly rebuild a healthy and stable socket over about one to three years, providing long-term support for your smile.
LANAP is different from traditional gum disease surgery because it completely eradicates harmful bacteria without unnecessary damage to healthy cells. This provides a more comfortable process, reduces risks for many complications, and boosts your body’s natural healing capabilities.
Virtually anyone with moderate to severe gum disease can benefit from LANAP. This approach’s major benefit is that it puts restored oral health within reach for many people who cannot undergo gum surgery.
