Honolulu Periodontal Laser Treatment

One of the significant advances in modern dentistry has been the development of dental laser technology.

PerioLase machine

This advanced system of care operates by generating focused light energy to safely, gently, and precisely shape as well as remove targeted amounts of tissue without affecting any adjacent areas.
Dental lasers have multiple applications and can be used to perform several periodontal procedures, including the reduction of gingival pockets, the treatment of periodontitis, and the management of peri-implantitis. When employed to treat gum disease, dental lasers selectively vaporize the inflamed and diseased tissue inside of a periodontal pocket, while leaving the healthy tissue intact. Additionally, the LANAP Protocol is actually capable of regenerating new bone!
Lasers also target and kill the bacteria that cause gum disease and help to facilitate the healthy reattachment of supporting tissues to the surface of the tooth’s root. In addition to all of these applications, a dental laser can be used to remove and re-contour gingival tissues for cosmetic purposes.

Minimally Invasive Periodontic Procedures

Among the many benefits offered by laser technology is the elimination of the usual discomfort associated with procedures performed with a surgical scalpel. In this respect, dental lasers minimize the need for dental anesthesia. In addition to offering more comfortable and stress-free care, lasers also cauterize tissue as they go, reducing bleeding during periodontal procedures. As a result, healing and recovery times are quicker with less post-operative swelling as well as scarring.

LANAP® Periodontal Care

LANAP®, or Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure, is an advanced method of treatment for gum disease that enables certain periodontal procedures to be performed in a safer, more precise and less invasive manner than with traditional surgical methods. Using LANAP, cases of periodontitis can be addressed without the pain, gum line recession, or increased tooth sensitivity that is often associated with other treatments that are used at this stage of periodontal disease.

01. Laser gum therapy

A LANAP Procedure, employs a PerioLase® MVP-7TM laser to selectively vaporize the inflamed and diseased tissue beneath the gum line that is inside of a periodontal pocket, while leaving the healthy tissue intact.

02. Kills bacteria & heals

This advanced laser technology also targets and kills the bacteria that cause gum disease and helps to facilitate the healthy reattachment of supporting tissues to the surface of the tooth’s root.

03. pockets REDUCTIOn & BONE regeneratION

Since treatment with LANAP effectively reduces the depth of periodontal pockets and promotes the regeneration of bone around a tooth, it may also be helpful in saving a periodontally involved tooth that might otherwise have an unfavorable prognosis.

04. Minimally invasive & faster recovery

Furthermore, as LANAP is a minimally invasive method, the patient experiences less discomfort and less bleeding both during and after treatment. In addition, recovery time from the procedure and healing at the site of treatment are quicker.
