5 Ways LANAP Restores Your Gum Health

Are your gums swollen, tender, and painful? Do they bleed when you brush your teeth? These are telltale symptoms of gum disease. For years, gum disease treatment entailed invasive surgery to eliminate the infection and restore gum health. We use LANAP laser surgery at Garazi Periodontics & Dental Implants in Miami, Florida, to treat this condition. LANAP treatment is less invasive and less painful than traditional gum surgery and has a quicker recovery.  

In this post, Drs. Isaac and David Garazi explore five ways LANAP laser surgery can restore gum health.

1. Removal of Diseased Tissues

Traditional gum surgery often entails removing both diseased and healthy gum tissues to curtail the spread of gum disease. Healthy tissues may be removed when cleansing periodontal pockets and bacterial infection under the gumline of your teeth. In contrast, the precision of LANAP allows Dr. Garazi to target only diseased tissues to eliminate the bacterial infection, keeping healthy tissues intact. By causing less trauma to your gum tissues, LANAP helps expedite your recovery.

2. Prevention of Post-Op Infection  

In eliminating periodontal infections, LANAP lasers sterilize the areas treated to reduce inflammation and protect you from post-op infection during recovery. Dental lasers effectively kill bacteria that can lead to further infection, promote quicker healing, and ensure a successful recovery.

3. Tissue Regeneration

Tissue regeneration is another area in which LANAP excels as a gum disease treatment. Laser energy triggers the process of natural healing, which prompts regeneration of your gum tissues. As healthy gum tissues grow, they reattach to your tooth roots to stabilize your teeth, keeping them from coming loose. Through tissue regeneration, LANAP helps restore a healthy gumline and improves oral health. 

4. Bone Regeneration

One of the dangers of periodontal disease is deterioration of the bone tissue that supports your teeth, causing them to weaken and eventually fall out. In addition to gum tissue regeneration, LANAP helps regenerate bone tissue to counter the damage caused by gum disease. Given bone support, your teeth are less likely to fall out. Through LANAP treatment, Dr. Garazi can help prevent tooth loss and maintain the integrity of your smile. 

5. Quicker Healing & Recovery  

Traditional gum surgery entails cutting and suturing gum tissues to treat gum disease. This can lead to a lengthy recovery. In contrast, LANAP uses laser energy to eliminate the infection and restore gum health. This minimally invasive process minimizes inflammation, bleeding, and pain. LANAP surgery causes less trauma to your gums, which helps you heal quicker. You can look forward to a smoother, easier recovery that allows you to return to your normal life and schedule sooner.
