Precision Laser Provides
No-Fear Gum Disease Treatment

Treat Your Gums to Gentler and
More Effective Laser Dentistry

Periodontal disease is extremely common, impacting more than 47% of Americans—or nearly 65 million people. What many people don’t realize is that gum disease is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults. Although early periodontal disease treatment from a periodontist is crucial for preventing serious oral and general health repercussions, many patients worry about standard treatment because it can be invasive and somewhat painful. LANAP, Assisted New Attachment Procedure has revolutionized the treatment of periodontal disease.

It’s designed to treat gum disease effectively and gently through the regeneration of soft tissue, without removing diseased gum tissue surgically. If you’re experiencing symptoms of gum disease such as bleeding or swollen gums, we encourage you to schedule a visit as soon as possible with our skilled board-certified periodontist Dr. Alex Loeb for minimally invasive gingivitis treatment or periodontitis disease treatment in Yonkers, NY. At Geller Family Dental we believe in offering advanced technologies that result in a far better patient experience and outcomes—and LANAP is one of these!

How LANAP Laser Gum Disease Treatment Works

The innovative PerioLase® MVP-7™ laser features a laser fiber the width of three human hairs. This groundbreaking technology enables performing precision laser gum surgery in Yonkers, NY to reduce bacteria and promote stem cell-induced regeneration of healthy gum and bone—without impacting healthy tissue. Studies report less tooth loss and recurrence of gum disease after laser surgery compared to traditional osseous surgery. More recently, this successful gum disease protocol has been modified into LAPIP™, a laser approach to treat peri-implantitis, a serious postsurgical inflammatory condition that can threaten the integrity of dental implants.

What to Expect with the LANAP Procedure

With LANAP, Dr. Loeb inserts the tiny laser fiber between your teeth and gum tissue to eliminate the infection without any cutting or stitching of the gums. Your tooth roots are thoroughly cleaned of tartar and plaque. Then the laser is used on a different setting to create a fibrin clot between your teeth and gums, thereby sealing the pocket and initiating the reattachment of gum tissue. When you get LANAP gum surgery at Geller Family Dental from our periodontist, it’s possible to resume a home oral hygiene routine sooner than traditional gum surgery because healing is far faster and less painful.
