In recent years, laser dentistry has superseded many traditional dentistry practices, making treatments more precise and less painful. This newer style of dentistry utilizes intense beams of light projected by a dental laser. Dental lasers can be used to perform a wide variety of treatments, including Periodontal treatment, soft tissue shaping and soft tissue removal.
Periodontal Treatment (LANAP) - LANAP, Laser Assisted New Attachment Protocol, is the only FDA approved laser based treatment for Periodontal Disease. Traditional Periodontal surgery included cutting of the gums, grinding of bone, and sutures. Our office uses Millenium Dental's Periolase for LANAP proceedures.
