Advanced Gum Disease? LANAP Can Save Your Smile
A few weeks ago, we reminded you to floss regularly to help prevent gum disease. But what if you’re already dealing with advanced periodontitis? At that stage, good oral hygiene alone may not be enough to stop the progression of the disease—and you might feel like you’re on a path toward tooth loss and dentures.
The Good News: Advanced Technology Can Help You Keep Your Natural Teeth
At Dental Partners of Boston, we’re proud to offer a breakthrough solution for treating advanced gum disease: LANAP® (Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure). This innovative laser treatment allows us to remove infection with greater precision and significantly less discomfort than traditional surgery. You might think your only option is traditional surgery—or even losing teeth. But thanks to LANAP treatment in Boston, MA, you have a minimally invasive, highly effective alternative that can help save your smile.
Why LANAP Is a Game-Changer for Gum Disease
LANAP is revolutionizing how we treat severe gum disease. Here’s why more and more patients are turning to this advanced procedure:
- Minimally Invasive, No Cutting or Stitches
Unlike traditional gum surgery, LANAP uses a specialized laser to gently target diseased tissue and bacteria without the need for scalpels or sutures. - Faster Healing Time
Because LANAP is less invasive, your body can heal more quickly. Many patients return to their normal activities the very next day. - Preserves Healthy Gum Tissue
The laser is precise enough to remove only infected tissue, helping to save as much of your healthy gums as possible. - Promotes Natural Regeneration
LANAP doesn’t just stop gum disease—it encourages your body to regenerate bone and connective tissue, potentially reversing some of the damage caused by periodontitis. - Reduced Risk of Gum Recession
Since there’s no cutting, there’s also a lower chance of experiencing gum recession, which can affect both your oral health and the look of your smile. - Less Pain, Less Swelling
Patients typically experience much less post-operative discomfort compared to traditional surgery.
