Comprehensive Oral Evaluation & X-Rays (D0150 & D0210)
Traditionally, periodontal disease was treated with scaling and root planing, which involves removing plaque and tartar from the teeth and smoothing the roots to help the gums reattach to the teeth. However, this procedure can be painful and uncomfortable and often requires multiple dentist visits.
LANAP offers a more effective and comfortable alternative to scaling and root planning. The procedure uses a laser to remove diseased tissue from the gums and the pockets around the teeth. The laser also sterilizes the area, killing bacteria and promoting healing.
It’s important to note that LANAP is only suitable for some patients. It is typically recommended for patients with mild to moderate periodontal disease who are not good candidates for traditional periodontal surgery.
LANAP may be right for you if you have periodontal disease and are looking for a more comfortable and effective treatment option.
