Key Benefits of LANAP Gum Disease Treatment
Periodontal disease is the leading cause of premature tooth loss among adults in the U.S. today. In its advanced stage, this gum infection can be devastating, causing symptoms such as swelling, bleeding gums, painful chewing, and bone loss, leading to the loss of most or all of your teeth. Prompt gum disease treatment is key to avoiding the aftermath of periodontal disease. At Avanti Dentistry in Tysons, Virginia, Dr. Farshad Farhoumand and associates take a modern approach to treating gum disease by using LANAP laser periodontal therapy. LANAP periodontal treatment halts the advancement of periodontal disease, safeguarding the health of your smile.
Benefits of LANAP Periodontal Treatment
People with gum disease develop expanding periodontal pockets around their teeth, causing the gums to swell and recede. As the gums recede and detach from the teeth, they can result in loose teeth that may eventually fall out. LANAP lasers clean periodontal pockets and eliminate diseased gum tissues, preparing the gums for healing. We will numb your mouth for LANAP treatment to avoid pain and discomfort during your procedure.
LANAP lasers simplify periodontal treatment by eliminating scalpels, sutures, and other aspects of oral surgery. LANAP offers an alternative to surgical gum disease procedures, which can be time-consuming and invasive. With LANAP, you also benefit from:
Greater comfort: Many patients find LANAP treatments more comfortable than other periodontal procedures. There’s only one tool involved—a hand-held laser—which is also less intimidating.LANAP treatment does not involve incisions or sutures that could cause discomfort post-treatment. There’s also less downtime, enabling you to return to your regular routine quicker.
Minimal bleeding: LANAP lasers target only infectious gum tissues, not healthy ones. In destroying the bacterial infection, the laser cauterizes surrounding blood vessels to minimize bleeding.

Preserving gum tissue: LANAP laser periodontal therapy can preserve healthy gum tissue to eliminate the need for grafting. Saving gum tissues helps to maintain your smile’s natural appearance. What’s more, LANAP treatments promote gum tissue regeneration to repair the damage quicker and restore your gum health. By taking good care of your teeth in the future, you stand less chance of experiencing a recurrence of periodontal disease.
Reattachment of loose teeth: LANAP helps save loose teeth by promoting quicker healing and reattachment of gum tissue to the teeth, keeping them from falling out.
Fewer side effects: LANAP treatment has fewer side effects. Most of our patients experience less pain, inflammation, gum sensitivity, or undue loss of healthy gum tissue with LANAP.
Through LANAP laser periodontal therapy, Dr. Farhoumand and associates can make greater headway in treating advanced periodontal disease to keep your smile intact.
