Revolutionary Gum Disease Treatment
Gum disease is a silent epidemic affecting millions of Americans, with consequences that extend far beyond oral health. This condition can lead to serious health complications, including increased risks of heart disease, potential links to pancreatic cancer, diabetes management challenges, and even impacts on pregnancy. Most alarmingly, it’s responsible for the majority of adult tooth loss before age 35, making early detection and treatment critical.
The LANAP® Protocol: A Breakthrough in Gum Disease Treatment
At Northern Virginia Periodontics, our laser dentistry specialists offer a groundbreaking solution to this widespread health challenge: the Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure (LANAP®). This revolutionary treatment represents a minimally invasive alternative to traditional osseous surgery, providing patients with a cutting-edge approach to managing and treating gum disease. Unlike conventional methods, LANAP® utilizes advanced laser technology to precisely target diseased gum tissue while preserving healthy structures, minimizing pain, and reducing recovery time.
What is LANAP®?
At Northern Virginia Periodontics, our Falls Church and Alexandria laser dentistry specialists understand the critical nature of periodontal health.
Traditional gum disease treatments were once invasive and painful, often requiring extensive surgical procedures or tooth extraction.
Today, revolutionary advances in dental technology have transformed our approach, offering patients a precise, minimally invasive solution.
Our practice proudly offers the Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure (LANAP®), a groundbreaking treatment using the PerioLase® MVP-7™ laser.
This innovative approach represents a quantum leap in periodontal care, providing patients with a scientifically advanced alternative to traditional surgical methods.
How LANAP® Works:
- Precisely targets and eliminates harmful bacteria
- Removes damaged gum tissue with exceptional accuracy
- Reattaches healthy tissue to the tooth’s root surface
- Minimizes pain and discomfort
- Eliminates the risk of gum line recession
- Reduces post-treatment sensitivity
What Sets LANAP® Apart:
The LANAP® protocol is the first and only FDA-cleared laser treatment for periodontitis, backed by extensive domestic and international scientific research. Unlike traditional treatments, LANAP® offers remarkable benefits:
- Saves teeth that might otherwise require extraction
- Promotes bone regeneration
- Reduces pocket depth
- Achieves optimal periodontal health
Benefits of LANAP®
Faster Healing
Most patients can return to their daily routine immediately. This means you won’t have to miss out on any important life events or activities while your gums recover and stay healthy.
Reduction in Gum Inflammation and Bleeding
LANAP® can remove up to 90% of oral inflammation in one visit. The PerioLase® MVP-7™ targets inflammatory bacteria without injuring healthy tissue.
Less Discomfort
By stimulating biological repair mechanisms, the PerioLase® MVP-7™ dramatically reduces healing time and minimizes patient discomfort, making pain medication unnecessary in most cases.
Minimal Recovery Time
Most patients can return to their daily routine immediately.
Little to No Gum Recession
The procedure removes only damaged tissue, gum line recession is very minimal; the aesthetic appearance of the smile is maintained.
Saving of Teeth
Patients can save their natural teeth, even when the teeth have been untreatable with traditional treatments.
Regeneration of Bone
There is evidence to suggest that LANAP can promote the healing of the bone around teeth by creating an optimal environment for the natural healing processes of the bone and surrounding tissues. This might result in some reattachment and improved bone levels in certain patients.
The Complexity of Periodontal Treatment
Every patient’s oral health is unique, requiring a nuanced and sophisticated approach to gum disease management. While traditional surgical methods and advanced laser treatments each have their place, the key to successful periodontal care lies in expert assessment and personalized treatment planning.
