Gum Disease Treatment

LANAP Periodontal Disease Treatment

San Diego Periodontics

In the past, gum disease treatment often meant painful periodontal surgery. Today, thanks to LANAP (Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure), we can offer a non-invasive and effective alternative to traditional surgery. LANAP uses laser technology to selectively remove diseased tissue while preserving healthy gum tissue, allowing it to regenerate naturally.
Dr. Davoudi is certified in LANAP and is proud to offer this advanced treatment at Mesa Family Dental in San Diego. LANAP requires only a local anesthetic and is a comfortable option for patients seeking gum disease treatment.

ARESTIN®: Periodontal Disease Treatment

Periodontal disease, caused by bacterial infection in the gums, can lead to tooth loss and other serious health issues if left untreated. ARESTIN® is an antibiotic treatment used to eliminate harmful bacteria and prevent the progression of gum disease.

ARESTIN® is applied directly to the affected gums, often after procedures like scaling and root planing. This treatment helps reduce the gap between gums and teeth and is particularly effective for patients with moderate gum disease or those who smoke.

ARESTIN® is easy to tolerate, with minimal side effects, and does not require follow-up removal as it is naturally absorbed by the body. Maintaining good oral hygiene and regular dental visits are essential to ensure lasting gum health.

LANAP Success Rate

LANAP is a groundbreaking technique for restoring gum and periodontal tissue with impressive success rates. The laser targets and removes infected cells while sparing healthy tissue, allowing for natural reattachment and bone regeneration.
LANAP offers numerous benefits, including:

Faster healing and minimal discomfort
Less invasive compared to traditional surgery
Reduced bleeding and risk of complications
Preservation of natural teeth
Proven bone regeneration

LANAP’s high success rate and patient satisfaction make it a preferred choice for gum disease treatment.

Laser Gum Surgery

LANAP: Laser Gum Surgery

LANAP is a laser-based treatment for periodontal disease, offering a simpler, faster, and less painful alternative to traditional gum surgery. It requires no scalpels or stitches, leading to quicker recovery and less post-operative discomfort.

The procedure involves using a laser to remove diseased gum tissue and promote bone regeneration. LANAP can save teeth that might otherwise need extraction and improve overall oral health.

The treatment is typically completed in one or two visits, depending on the severity of the gum disease. Benefits of LANAP include:

Quick recovery time
Reduced discomfort
Lower risk of infection
Preservation of gum tissue
Proven long-term stability
