As periodontal disease progresses, bacteria thriving in deep gingival pockets attacks and destroys the gum and bone tissue that hold your teeth in place.

With the advanced LANAP laser procedure, we can actually regrow and reattach that missing gum and bone. LANAP stands for Laser-Assisted “New Attachment” Protocol.

LANAP eliminates the cutting, grafting and sutures of traditional surgery. Instead, Dr. Aldredge uses a precisely focused laser beam to clean bacteria, debris and diseased gum tissue away from healthy teeth and gum tissue.

By clearing out invasive material, the LANAP treatment creates the ideal conditions the body needs to heal itself.  Gum and bone tissue naturally regenerates and reattaches to teeth, holding them securely in place with renewed support and protection.

LANAP procedure Saves Teeth

Despite our best efforts, we are seeing more and more complications with implants. This is a condition we call “Peri-Implantitis”. Many times, implants can get infected under the gum line, which can result in bone loss around the implant, and in some cases loss of the implant itself. Complications due to systemic disease, medications and simply enough, aging can all lead to this problem.

Until recently, the only treatment for an “ailing” implant was either extensive surgical repair and in most cases, removal of the implant and waiting for a new one to be placed.

With the advent of LAPIP, which is a specific laser surgery procedure (does not involve a scalpel or stitches), we are able to treat the infections and arrest the disease, and in some cases regenerate new bone around the implant itself!

LAPIP — which stands for Laser Assisted Peri-Implant Procedure, is the only FDA cleared laser procedure to treat ailing dental implants.
