At Care One Dental, we offer LANAP® (Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure), a groundbreaking therapy that was approved by the FDA in 2004.
Today, it’s still the only laser gum disease treatment FDA-approved and proven to promote gum tissue regeneration. When you choose LANAP periodontal treatment in Delray Beach and Boynton Beach, FL, our team treats gum disease in a far gentler and more precise manner than traditional gum surgery.
Studies show patients treated with LANAP laser gum disease treatment experience less recurrence of gum disease compared to those treated with osseous surgery.
This advanced laser technology at Care One Dental targets and kills the bacteria responsible for gum disease, helping facilitate the healthy reattachment of supporting tissues to the tooth roots. Because no scalpels or sutures are required, you’ll experience far less downtime than you would with traditional gum surgery.
Catching gum disease in its earliest stages can prevent irreversible damage to your gums, bone, and teeth.
Early treatment is typically simpler, more comfortable, and cost-effective than addressing advanced periodontal issues. Minimally invasive gum surgery in Delray Beach and Boynton Beach, FL, helps reduce the risk of tooth loss and supports better overall health by limiting the spread of inflammation to other parts of your body.
Using the PerioLase® MVP-7™ laser, we selectively vaporize inflamed and diseased tissue beneath your gumline inside periodontal pockets, while healthy tissue remains unharmed. Ultrasonic instruments are used to remove tartar and calculus deposits that form under your gumline.
Then we use the laser again to remove any remaining bacteria and stimulate the clotting process. The blood forms a sticky seal around periodontal pockets, preventing new germs from entering and providing a sanitary environment for healing to begin.
Both before and after undergoing LANAP laser gum surgery in Delray Beach and Boynton Beach, FL, our team will discuss what to expect and provide aftercare guidelines. During the first few days, it’s normal to experience mild soreness or tenderness in the treated areas, but less than with traditional gum surgery.
You should be able to return to work and normal activities within a day or two, but should avoid vigorous exercise or heavy lifting for 24 hours. You’ll need to stick to a liquid diet for 3–7 days, avoid chewing on the treated side, and avoid eating hot and spicy foods. As healing continues for several weeks, as gums reattach to your teeth, you can gradually reintroduce soft, solid foods to your diet.
