Step One
Periodontal Assessment
Dr. Bergman measures your pocket depths and reviews imaging to confirm that LANAP suits your particular case and that you are a genuinely good candidate for it.
Take the Next Step Toward Healthier Gums
Worried about traditional gum surgery? There’s a gentler way to treat gum disease. At OC Perio & Implants Dental Group, Dr. Bergman harnesses the power of LANAP® therapy – an innovative laser treatment that’s revolutionizing how we care for your gums. Think of it as using a beam of healing light to restore your smile’s foundation.
What Is LANAP?
LANAP (Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure) is like having a sophisticated microscope and healing tool in one. This FDA-cleared technology can tell the difference between healthy and unhealthy gum tissue, similar to how your body naturally knows which cells need attention. Unlike traditional surgery with scalpels and stitches, LANAP uses precisely calibrated laser light to:
-
Promote bone regeneration
-
Target only the diseased tissue
-
Preserve healthy gums
-
Stimulate natural healing
Who Is a Candidate for LANAP?
-
Surgery Anxiety — The thought of scalpels and stitches has kept you from gum treatment you need.
-
Moderate Disease — Periodontal pockets have deepened past what a non-surgical cleaning can resolve.
-
A Quick Recovery — You cannot afford to lose a week to recovery and want to be back to normal the next day.
-
Bone Loss — Bone has been lost around your teeth and you want treatment that promotes regeneration.
Your Journey With Us
Our Step-by-Step Process
Here is what you can expect during LANAP therapy at OC Perio & Implants.
Schedule a Consultation Step Two
Comfortable Numbing
The area is numbed thoroughly, though most patients find laser therapy far more comfortable than they had expected before arriving at our Mission Viejo office.
Step Three
Selective Laser
Calibrated laser light targets only the diseased tissue, leaving your healthy gum tissue untouched from first pass to last of the whole treatment session.
Step Four
Bacterial Removal
Ultrasonic instruments remove the calculus from the root surfaces once the diseased tissue has been cleared away and the pocket has been fully opened up.
Step Five
Healing Stimulation
A final laser pass seals the pocket and stimulates the natural regeneration of both bone and attachment tissue across the weeks and months that follow.
The Benefits of Laser Treatment
Gentle Approach
Experience virtually painless treatment without any cutting or stitches, which changes the whole experience of gum surgery for anxious patients in particular here.
Quick Recovery
Most patients return to their normal activities the very next day rather than losing most of a week to recovery at home, laid flat on the sofa waiting for the swelling to settle.
Natural Healing
The laser promotes bone regeneration and stimulates natural healing rather than simply removing the diseased tissue alone from the treated site and nowhere else in the mouth.
Selective Targeting
FDA-cleared technology distinguishes healthy tissue from unhealthy tissue, so only the diseased areas are ever treated, and the healthy gum tissue is left entirely alone.
Long-term Success
Stable results that protect your smile for years to come.
