Common Questions About LANAP Laser Surgery
Is LANAP laser surgery uncomfortable?
Dr. Kaeley ensures that your gum recession treatment is a comfortable and seamless experience. We utilize the advanced LANAP procedure, which employs laser technology to promote the regeneration of gum tissue. This innovative approach eliminates the need for cutting or stitches, as the laser effectively removes damaged gum tissue while simultaneously sealing the area for optimal healing. Your comfort and well-being are our top priorities!
Can I treat gum disease at home?
You cannot effectively treat gum disease at home, even in its initial stages. Gum disease occurs when plaque and tartar, filled with bacteria, accumulate in the spaces between your teeth and gums. These areas are difficult to reach with a toothbrush or dental floss. Dr. Kaeley uses specialized techniques and technologies to thoroughly treat gum disease and give you better gum health.
How long does the LANAP procedure take?
The LANAP procedure typically takes about two hours to complete, depending on the severity of your gum disease and the areas being treated. Most patients find the treatment to be quick and comfortable, with minimal downtime afterward. After the procedure, you can generally return to your normal activities within a day or two, allowing for a smooth recovery.
