LANAP Can Save Your Smile

LANAP periodontal procedure is a fantastic way to treat your periodontal disease. Your dental benefits start over as of the first of the year, and so these benefits have rolled over and are now available for use. LANAP laser treatment is the only scientifically, research-proven methodology that allows people to have new bone growth and gum tissue reattachment. LANAP targets gum inflammation without causing any damage to healthy tissue.

LANAP is a fine laser that goes below the gum line in order to remove bacteria. The procedure is done in the periodontal office and does not require cutting or sutures. Some of the benefits of LANAP is reduced swelling, no bleeding and healthy gums. Healthy gums decrease the risk of losing any teeth.

LANAP is a faster procedure then traditional periodontal surgery and allows for each of the quadrants to be completed in one day. Usually patients go back to work the same or next day. The time it takes to heal is also faster than traditional periodontal therapies. You can have your healthy smile for a lifetime.

After Dental Implant After Care Procedure

If you have enjoyed the privilege of restoring your smile from a dental implant procedure it is important to follow the aftercare procedures in order to keep your smile healthy and happy. An implant is a surgical procedure where a titanium post is placed into the jawbone below the gum line which then creates a way for your general dentist to mount a replacement tooth. Once the dental implant is complete the tooth is solid in the jaw bone and cannot be removed like a denture. Implants are great because they do not have to be mounted to other teeth.

Implants do not move or shift in your mouth and add a benefit when speaking and eating. Bridges or dentures can move depending on the fit. Once you have your implant complete it is critical that you follow the post-surgical procedure plan in order to keep your implant secure and healing. An implant is similar to your real teeth and requires regular dental care.

Your periodontist will give you after-care procedures that may include utilizing a soft toothbrush for the first few weeks of healing. You will want to eventually begin to floss again, but this may take some time as your gums are healing. Floss is the only way to remove food from between the teeth and is a really important way to keep your smile healthy.
