If you’re like many of our patients, the thought of any oral surgical procedure can make you feel a little uneasy. That’s why Dassani Dentistry is proud to offer the LANAP® treatment for gum disease treatment. LANAP® Treatment (Laser Assisted New Attachment Protocol) has revolutionized treating gum disease – making it a simpler and minimally invasive procedure that effectively counters the effects of gum disease.
Gum disease, or periodontal disease, is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults. It’s a bacterial infection that starts with plaque buildup on teeth. This produces toxins that irritate and inflame the gums, leading to gingivitis (the early stage of gum disease) and, if untreated, periodontitis (the advanced stage).

Risk Factors of Gum Disease:

Thankfully, gum disease is treatable when detected early.
Advancements in dental technology have now made it possible to get rid of your gum disease the simpler and more comfortable way – LANAP® Treatment
Unlike traditional methods that require invasive surgery, and a lot of healing and recovery time, LANAP® uses advanced laser technology to target and eliminate diseased tissue while preserving healthy gum tissue. During your procedure, Dr. Dassani uses a tiny laser to pass between the gums and the teeth without separating your gums from your teeth. This allows us to remove the gum disease infection while leaving healthy tissue intact.
Take control of your oral health today with LANAP® laser gum treatment.
