Why Choose LANAP for

Gum Disease Treatment

Traditional gum disease treatment options involve cutting the gum tissue or extracting the teeth.

Many patients choose LANAP over traditional scalpel surgery because it is less invasive and painful. There is no cutting and suturing.

Don’t ignore the early warning signs of gum disease! Signs may include:

Red, swollen gums that bleed easily
Gums that seem to have pulled back from the teeth
Bad breath (halitosis)
Pus between gums and teeth
Loose teeth or space between teeth
Change in the way your teeth fit together when you bite
Change in the way partial denture or implants fit
There can also be no symptoms at all!

What Is Gum Disease?

Over 50% of American adults have gum disease – it’s something not widely talked about that can have a big impact on your life.

Gum disease begins when plaque accumulates on the teeth and the calcium in saliva hardens the plaque turning it into tartar or calculus. Germs that live in this plaque or calculus can wreak havoc on your gum health.

Eastmont Family Dental can perform a LANAP procedure, also known as “Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure” to treat gum disease through laser treatment. We use the laser to gently remove harmful germs and diseased tissue from your gum pocket without removing too much of it – allowing the body to heal naturally!
