Introducing the LANAP® Protocol
Gum disease affects over 50% of adults in America, causing infections below the gum line that can lead to serious health problems like heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and premature birth. Unfortunately, only a few adults seek treatment due to the invasive nature of gum disease treatments, which may involve cutting gum tissue or extracting teeth.
Gum Disease Triggers Fear and Loss of Self-Confidence
Gum disease is a commonly overlooked issue that can have a significant impact on your daily life. Individuals with gum disease may suffer from lower self-esteem and worry about losing their teeth. Schiff & Moniz offers an advanced laser treatment called the LANAP protocol specifically designed for treating gum disease.
What is the LANAP protocol?
The LANAP® protocol uses the cutting-edge dental laser called the “PerioLase® MVP-7™”. This high-tech laser, as thin as three human hairs, is gently placed between the gum tissue and teeth. It efficiently removes bacteria from deep within the gum pockets without damaging the surrounding healthy tissue. Moreover, it is safe for patients on blood thinners.
There is No Downtime
Patients undergoing LANAP® treatment can anticipate immediate benefits, such as reduced bleeding during brushing and fresher breath. This minimally invasive procedure also enables a swift return to regular activities like driving, working, or engaging in other enjoyable tasks.
