If you’re suffering from periodontal disease and worried about treatment, you’re not alone because gum disease and dental anxiety are common. The good news is that with a scalpel- and suture-free LANAP® laser gum disease treatment, you no longer have to fear periodontal disease treatment.
Suppose you’re experiencing symptoms of gum disease, such as bleeding or swollen gums. In that case, we encourage you to schedule a visit as soon as possible with our skilled and compassionate periodontist, Dr. Graig Fischgrund, for minimally invasive gingivitis treatment or periodontitis treatment in Hicksville & Plainview, NY, leveraging the regenerative powers of LANAP.
A good analogy is that LANAP is to gum surgery what LASIK is to eye surgery–a minimally invasive method to correct an underlying problem. The revolutionary LANAP PerioLase® MVP-7™ laser features a laser fiber the width of three human hairs. This enables our periodontist to perform more precise precision gum laser surgery that reduces bacteria and promotes stem cell-induced regeneration of healthy gum and bone—without impacting healthy tissue.
Studies report less tooth loss and gum disease recurrence after laser surgery than traditional osseous surgery. In addition, when you get LANAP gum surgery at Max Dental Group from our periodontist, you can resume a home oral hygiene routine sooner than traditional gum surgery because healing is faster and less painful.
During the procedure, the laser is placed between your teeth and gums into the periodontal pocket to remove only diseased tissue and kill bacteria carefully. Then, the tooth roots are cleaned with an ultrasonic device.
During the last step, our periodontist uses the laser to seal and protect the area around your treated teeth. Mild soreness in the treated areas is normal and can usually be alleviated with over-the-counter pain relievers. Before you leave Max Dental Group, our periodontist will recommend follow-up care to ensure a quick, comfortable, and complication-free recovery.
