FAQs
What is LANAP and how does it differ from traditional gum surgery?
LANAP is a laser-based treatment for gum disease that removes infected tissue and promotes healing without cutting the gums open. Traditional surgery involves scalpels and sutures, which can be more painful and require longer recovery.
Is LANAP painful?
Most patients experience minimal discomfort during and after LANAP. The laser’s precision reduces bleeding and swelling, making recovery smoother than with conventional surgery.
How long does the LANAP procedure take?
The procedure typically takes about one to two hours, depending on the extent of gum disease. Your dentist will provide an estimated time during your consultation.
Am I a good candidate for LANAP?
If you have moderate to advanced gum disease, LANAP might be a great option. However, only a thorough exam at Premier Family Dental can determine if this treatment suits your specific needs.
What should I expect after LANAP treatment?
Most patients notice less pain and faster healing compared to traditional surgery. You may experience some mild tenderness but can usually return to normal activities quickly. Follow-up visits help monitor your gum health.
