Oral Examination
Your appointment at our laser dental clinic will start with a thorough oral examination. Your laser dentist will use advanced diagnostic tools, such as intraoral scanners and digital x-rays to visualize the internal anatomy of your mouth. This will allow the dentist to identify the earliest traces of gum disease, inflammation, and periodontitis. Based on an assessment of your oral health, the dentist will curate a personalized treatment plan. The oral tests are usually extremely short.
05.
Treatment Planning
Our laser dentist believes in curating personalized treatment plans according to your unique goals and requirements. The dentist will also review your medical history and discuss your concerns to curate a treatment plan. We generally provide the LANAP laser gum disease treatment for most patients, but we calibrate the laser device according to your concerns. The dentist adjusts the wavelengths to target the diseased gum tissues without affecting healthy gum tissues.
06.
The LANAP Procedure
The LANAP surgery is an FDA-cleared laser gum treatment for gingivitis and periodontitis. It’s currently the most effective and least invasive solution to gum disease, allowing patients to resume their daily activities within 24 hours. During the LANAP procedure, the laser dentist channels highly calibrated wavelengths of laser energy into the gingival tissues to sterilize the region and target the root cause of inflammation. Furthermore, the LANAP procedure also facilitates tissue regeneration, reversing the damage caused by gingivitis.

Do I Have Gum Disease?
Gum disease is an extremely common chronic condition that affects over 80% of all adults in the United States to various degrees. However, only 3% of all individuals accept treatment for moderate to severe gum disease, either because they don’t notice the symptoms until it’s too late or they’re scared of traditional gingivectomy with scalpels. Avoiding gum treatment may lead to the loss of teeth, diabetes, pregnancy complications, strokes, and more. Below, we highlight the signs and symptoms of gum disease.
Symptoms of Gum Disease:
- Bleeding gums
- Swollen gums
- Reddened gums
- Gum recession
- Halitosis, i.e., persistent bad breath
- Dental abscess, i.e., cyst formation in gums
- Loose or shifting teeth
- Bite misalignment
- Pain and discomfort while chewing
- No symptoms (in early gum disease)
