This non-invasive laser therapy represents one of the most groundbreaking advancements in the field of periodontology. By using precise laser technology, this innovative treatment provides a virtually painless and minimally invasive alternative to many traditional surgical procedures commonly associated with periodontal and implant care. With laser therapy, patients experience faster recovery times, reduced discomfort, and often better overall outcomes.

Frequently Asked Questions Regarding Laser Therapy

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF LASER THERAPY?

The main goal of laser therapy is to stimulate regeneration of your connective tissue and the bone between your gums and your teeth. LANAP™ is also an excellent option if you want to improve the esthetics of your gum-line with treatments like cosmetic crown lengthening and tissue re-contouring. Other benefits include less painful treatment without cutting or stitches, less risk of infection, shorter appointment times, and a fast, easy recovery.

WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT DURING AND AFTER LASER TREATMENT?

Before treatment, you will be given a local anesthetic to eliminate any possible discomfort. A tiny laser fiber, with a thickness of about three hairs, will be inserted between your teeth and gums during the procedure. This will clear away infection, reduce inflammation and trigger an immediate healing response in your tissue. You’ll most likely feel well enough to return to work right after treatment is complete. If necessary, Dr. Nevins will prescribe an oral antibiotic to protect against infection. It’s best to stick to a soft diet for a day or two after treatment, but most patients report eating anything they want without any pain. Best of all, your recovery time will likely be less than 24 hours.
