Gum Disease is the most common infectious disease in the world. It also the leading contributor of tooth loss in adults across America. Today, with laser dentistry, periodontal disease treatment is a gentle, conservative and non-invasive procedure.
Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure (LANAP™) is revolutionizing treatment by combining the most effective and established methods of gum disease treatment with the precision of a special laser. Dr. Martha Cortés is one of only 100 Dentists across the United States to be fully qualified in LANAP™
Benefits of LANAP™ laser periodontal gum surgery include:
- Enables nearly all of the gum tissue to be saved
- There is no cutting or suturing involved with this method
- No cutting and suturing means virtually no pain or bleeding
- There is almost no recovery time needed – so no time needed off work or other activities
- Decreased inflammation in your mouth and also elimination of the infection associated with gum disease
- It is safe for patients with health concerns such as diabetes, HIV, haemophilia, or those taking medications.
During your treatment, the LANAP™ laser works on a specific wavelength – enabling the unhealthy diseased gum tissue to be removed while leaving the healthy gum tissue intact. This means there is much less post-operative stress to the mouth.
