Introducing the LANAP® Protocol
Gum disease affects over 50% of adults in the U.S., causing infections below the gum line that can lead to serious health issues such as heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and even premature birth. Despite its prevalence, many adults avoid treatment due to the invasive nature of traditional procedures, which may involve cutting gum tissue or extracting teeth.
Gum Disease Impacts Confidence and Quality of Life
Gum disease is often overlooked but can significantly affect daily life. Individuals with gum disease may experience lower self-esteem and anxiety over potential tooth loss. At The Schiff & Moniz Dental Group, we offer the advanced LANAP® protocol, a laser treatment specifically designed to treat gum disease effectively and comfortably.
What is the LANAP® Protocol?
The LANAP® protocol utilizes the state-of-the-art PerioLase® MVP-7™ dental laser, which is as thin as three human hairs. This precise laser is gently placed between the gum tissue and teeth, targeting harmful bacteria deep within gum pockets while preserving surrounding healthy tissue. LANAP® is also safe for patients on blood thinners.
No Downtime
Patients undergoing LANAP® can expect immediate benefits such as reduced bleeding while brushing and fresher breath. Because it is minimally invasive, most patients can quickly return to everyday activities like driving, working, and enjoying life.
