We treat gum disease in various different kinds of ways, depending on the level of your gum disease. We will treat it with a deep cleaning in one way. If it’s minor, if it’s more in depth, over days we will treat it with a laser. It’s called the Lennop procedure, and it’s a laser that we use that is totally different from surgery. There’s no scalpel used, there’s no suture used. It’s just a laser that goes around the gum and down into around the tooth, and it kills the bacteria. After that, it’s much better post-op healing time as opposed to the surgery, and the results are phenomenal. You get just as good results, if not better, than within the surgery. And when we’ve done that on people, they are really pleased with it because, especially because the post-op is so much less than with surgery, and we’ve had a lot of good outcomes with this surgery.
Show Your Gums Some Love With Laser Treatment
You know that you should brush and floss daily in addition to your routine cleanings and exams. Even so, you can develop a gum infection. This is not something you should ignore. It increases your risk of tooth loss. It also can make you more susceptible to health problems including heart disease, respiratory issues, and diabetes complications, according to the American Academy of Periodontology.
Dr. Kevin Huaman is one of very few general dentists in the nation accredited to provide LANAP® treatments for gum disease. LANAP is an excellent alternative to traditional gum surgery. The LANAP care process offers many benefits:
- It eliminates diseased gum tissue and bacteria, while not harming your healthy tissue. So you’ll retain more of your gums. A laser does this quickly and comfortably.
- Unlike other gum treatments, the FDA-approved process promotes regeneration of gum tissue and bone without grafting procedures. So there is less hassle and expense for you.
