Don't let gum disease rob you of your natural teeth. As a disease that affects about 50% of American adults, it's not a condition that should go without treatment. Our advanced LANAP laser surgery in Denver offers a minimally invasive solution to regenerate your soft tissue and bone, and save your natural teeth. This treatment is not only less invasive, but often the less intimidating alternative to gum surgery. If you suspect that you have periodontal disease, contact our team to schedule a consultation to learn about your treatment options.
Traditional gum disease treatment involves needles, stitches, and a long recovery time, and it's not for everyone. Since leaving your gums to fend for themselves is also not a wise choice, we sought to bring our patients a less invasive treatment to help their gum health. Laser therapy offers a gentler, more effective solution that uses a precise beam of light to target and eliminate harmful bacteria and stimulate your gums to heal faster. No cutting, no bleeding, and minimal discomfort!
During your LANAP laser therapy sessions, we use the PerioLase MVP-7 laser to remove diseased gum tissue to restore your teeth and encourage the growth of new periodontal ligaments and bone. After a thorough oral exam, we will also use a small laser fiber to clear away infected gum tissue without needing to use a scalpel or cut your gums. Then, we use the laser to clean your tooth roots to remove tartar and plaque from the entire gum line. Generally, we aim to clean half of your mouth is treated during each session, so you’ll visit us again for another appointment to complete your procedure.
