For many patients, the thought of traditional gum surgery involving scalpels and sutures can be intimidating. At Novo Care Dental and Orthodontic Clinic, we utilize advanced Laser Gum Therapy (often referred to as LANAP or laser decontamination) to provide a minimally invasive alternative that significantly improves patient comfort and recovery times.
How Laser Therapy Works
Laser therapy uses a highly concentrated beam of light energy to target and eliminate bacteria deep within periodontal pockets. Unlike traditional methods, the laser is “selective”—it can distinguish between diseased, infected tissue and healthy gum tissue.
- Precision Removal: The laser vaporizes bacteria and infected tissue without damaging the healthy gums around it.
- Sterilization: The heat from the laser sterilizes the area, reducing the risk of post-operative infection.
- Clotting and Healing: The laser promotes natural blood clotting and stimulates the body’s healing response, often leading to faster tissue regeneration.
Why Choose Laser Treatment?
The primary benefit for our patients is the lack of downtime. Because there are no incisions and no stitches, there is minimal bleeding and almost zero swelling. Most patients can return to their normal daily routine immediately after the procedure. It is an ideal solution for those with dental anxiety or patients who require a more gentle approach to treating advanced.
