Laser (LANAP) Perio Bone
Regeneration

LANAP Therapy is an FDA-approved procedure designed to create a less painful and more effective treatment for traditional gum surgery. We believe it’s an excellent alternative for our patients at Esthetic Family Dentistry who want a less invasive treatment.

Why Should You Choose LANAP?

LANAP and laser-assisted regeneration have been proven to encourage new bone growth and gum tissue reattachment. It’s a truly non-invasive alternative when compared to traditional surgery for your gums. This type of surgery also has better long-term results, including bone regeneration and less tooth loss over the long term.

How Long Is the Healing Process?

Even after ten days, healing is typically not all the way complete. We encourage patients to continue making smart food choices following the first month of treatment. Soft foods are usually best, we want to make sure you heal properly so you can feel better in no time!

Post-Operative Care and Diet

It’s essential to allow the blood to clot, as it acts as a band-aid between the gum and the tooth. Patients should follow a liquid-only diet to allow proper healing after the first three days of laser therapy. Please avoid drinking through a straw, as this creates a vacuum in your mouth that can disturb the blood clot.

After the fourth day, you can start introducing mushy foods or anything put through a blender. Some suggestions include:

• Creamed soup
• Broth
• Jell-o
• Smoothies
• Yogurt

Starting seven to ten days after treatment, you can gradually add normal foods to your regular diet.
