Common Questions about LANAP® Periodontitis Treatment

Q: Are periodontal disease and gum disease the same?

A: Both terms are used to describe a progressive bacterial infection in the mouth that destroys gum tissue, teeth, and bone. There are, however, different stages of disease. Gingivitis is early gum disease. It affects the gums only but should be treated immediately before it progresses to periodontitis. At this stage, bone and teeth are involved and progressive periodontitis treatment is critical.

Q: Is laser periodontitis treatment painful?

A: Laser periodontitis treatment with Dr. Miller and Dr. Bounds is the most comfortable treatment available, which is why more patients choose it over traditional periodontal surgery. With laser, there is no cutting or stitching required for a procedure that is faster with less bleeding and swelling, and little to no gum recession.

Q: Can LANAP® really grow new bone in my jaw?

A: Yes! Laser periodontitis treatment is especially designed for patients with gum disease and bone loss because it is scientifically proven to generate new bone development around existing teeth. This increases your chance of keeping your natural teeth.

Q: Is LANAP® better than traditional periodontal surgery?

A: Traditional periodontitis treatment is an effective but often painful procedure that requires cutting the gum line open in order to reach and remove the bacteria. LANAP® is FDA cleared to do the job with more precision, no cutting, and no stiches. It also promotes bone growth.

Q: Is LANAP® appropriate for me?

A: If you have moderate to severe gum disease, laser therapy is often the best treatment approach but only a consultation with us can determine that for sure. For cutting edge periodontal disease treatment in the Irvine, CA area, call Dr. Miller and Dr. Bounds today!
