Lanap and Lapip laser gum treatment is your solution to mend the effects of gum disease. Damaged gums are usually difficult to repair after gum disease has affected the area. Years ago, sutures were used to repair gum and bone tissue. Fortunately, Lanap and Lapip offer quicker results and save more healthy gum and bone tissue.
How does Lanap and Lapip laser gum treatment work?
Lanap and Lapip restore gum and bone tissue. Lanap consists of a laser that removes bacteria and diseased tissue along the gum line. Once the area is clear, new tissue is created and seals naturally. Lapip treats patients with dental implants and is essentially the same process as Lanap but with extra care. Gum disease surrounding dental implants is known as peri-implantitis. This infection can cause dental implant failure which needs to be corrected immediately.
