Introducing the LANAP® Protocol
More than half of adults in America are affected by gum disease, an infection that occurs below the gum line. This condition can lead to various health issues such as heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and premature birth. Sadly, only a small number of these adults receive the necessary treatment, largely because the treatments for gum disease often involve cutting the gum tissue or removing teeth.
Gum Disease Triggers Fear and Loss of Self-Confidence
Gum disease is a topic that is not often discussed, yet it can greatly affect your quality of life. Those dealing with gum disease may experience decreased self-confidence and a fear of tooth loss. Schiff & Moniz specializes in a cutting-edge laser treatment for gum disease known as the LANAP protocol.
What is the LANAP protocol?
The LANAP® protocol utilizes the advanced dental laser known as the “PerioLase® MVP-7™”. This state-of-the-art laser, which is as thin as three human hairs, is carefully inserted between the gum tissue and teeth. It effectively eliminates bacteria deep within the gum pockets without causing harm to the surrounding healthy tissue. Additionally, it is safe for patients who are taking blood thinners.
There is No Downtime
Patients who undergo LANAP® treatment can expect to see immediate benefits, including less bleeding while brushing and improved breath. The minimally invasive procedure also allows you to quickly return to your normal activities, such as driving, working, or any other tasks you enjoy.
