Gum disease is a common but serious dental health issue affecting millions of Americans. If left untreated, it can lead to tooth loss and other complications. At Poulos & Somers in Denver, we're committed to providing the most effective treatments for gum disease, including the advanced LANAP Laser Therapy.

The Growing Concern of Gum Disease

Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, starts as mild gingivitis but can progress to severe periodontitis if not addressed. It's not just about oral health; gum disease has been linked to systemic health issues like heart disease and diabetes.

Many adults have some form of gum disease, with its prevalence increasing as people age. Despite its widespread occurrence, many people are unaware they have gum disease due to its often painless nature in the early stages.

Why Choose LANAP Laser Therapy?

Traditional treatments for gum disease can be invasive and require significant recovery time. However, LANAP (Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure) offers a minimally invasive alternative. 

  • LANAP utilizes a special laser to remove infected tissue while preserving healthy gums.
  • The procedure is typically less painful and has a quicker recovery time compared to traditional surgery.
  • LANAP can also stimulate bone regeneration, helping to save teeth that might otherwise be lost to gum disease.

At Poulos & Somers, we prioritize patient comfort and care. Our experienced periodontists, Dr. Michael Poulos, Dr. Nicholas Poulos, Dr. Ann Somers, and Dr. Kimberly Marshall, are trained in the LANAP procedure and dedicated to providing the highest quality of care.
