LANAP® Laser Treatment - Redlands, CA
Advanced Laser Treatment for Healthier Gums
At Redlands Family Dental Care, we are proud to offer LANAP in Redlands, CA, an FDA-cleared laser treatment designed to effectively treat advanced gum disease while preserving your natural teeth. If you’ve been diagnosed with periodontal disease, this modern approach provides a less invasive alternative to traditional gum surgery.
LANAP (Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure) uses a specialized dental laser to precisely target and remove infected tissue and harmful bacteria. At the same time, it stimulates healthy tissue regeneration and encourages your body’s natural healing response. The result is a more comfortable procedure, minimal downtime, and a healthier foundation for your smile.
LANAP laser gum care offers significant advantages over conventional surgical techniques, including:
This advanced laser therapy in Redlands, CA, allows us to treat infections while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible.
Your treatment begins with a thorough periodontal exam and detailed measurements of the spaces around your teeth. This allows us to determine the severity of your gum disease and customize your LANAP treatment plan for optimal precision and results.
The laser is used carefully to remove diseased gum tissue and eliminate bacteria in the periodontal pockets. Because the laser energy is attracted to infected tissue, it leaves healthy cells largely unaffected. This selective process disinfects the area while minimizing trauma.
After infected tissue is removed, ultrasonic instruments are used to clear hardened plaque and tartar from the tooth roots. Eliminating these deposits is essential for reducing inflammation and allowing the gums to reattach properly.
The laser is applied again at a different setting to stimulate healthy tissue and encourage clot formation. This natural seal protects the treated area, supports regeneration, and promotes gum reattachment without the need for sutures.
Healing begins quickly following LANAP laser gum surgery. The procedure stimulates the regeneration of connective tissue and bone that may have been lost due to gum disease, helping rebuild the support structure around your teeth over time.
Unlike traditional periodontal surgery, LANAP does not involve cutting the gums or placing stitches. This makes the experience significantly more comfortable and allows for a quicker return to your normal routine.
LANAP in Redlands, CA, may be ideal if you have been diagnosed with moderate to severe periodontal disease and want a less invasive treatment option. It can also be beneficial for patients preparing for dental implants, as healthy gums are essential for implant success.
