Transforming Gum Disease Treatment with LANAP: Insights from Dr. David Malakov
Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is a widespread oral health issue that affects millions of people globally. If left untreated, it can lead to severe consequences, including tooth loss. Dr. David Malakov is at the forefront of periodontal care, offering an advanced and minimally invasive treatment known as LANAP (Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure). This revolutionary procedure is transforming the way gum disease is treated, providing patients with a safer, more comfortable alternative to traditional surgery.
What is LANAP?
LANAP is a cutting-edge laser treatment specifically designed to address periodontitis, the advanced stage of gum disease. Unlike conventional gum surgery, which involves cutting and suturing the gums, LANAP uses a highly specialized laser to selectively target and eliminate diseased tissue while preserving healthy tissue. This results in a less invasive procedure with faster recovery times and fewer complications.
How Does LANAP Work?
Precision Laser Technology: The LANAP procedure begins with the insertion of a tiny laser fiber, about the thickness of three human hairs, between the gum and tooth. This laser targets and destroys bacteria and diseased tissue while leaving healthy gum tissue intact.
Clot Formation and Tissue Reattachment: The laser energy helps form a stable blood clot that seals the pocket and prevents new bacteria from entering. This clot also stimulates the reattachment of the gum to the tooth root, promoting natural healing and regeneration.
Bone Regeneration: LANAP has been shown to promote the regeneration of bone tissue around the teeth. This is a significant advantage over traditional surgery, as it helps restore the supporting structures that may have been lost due to periodontal disease.
The Benefits of LANAP with Dr. David Malakov
Minimally Invasive: LANAP is far less invasive than traditional gum surgery. It involves no cutting or suturing, which means less pain, swelling, and discomfort for the patient.
Quicker Recovery: Because LANAP is less invasive, patients typically experience a much faster recovery time. Most can return to their normal activities within a day or two.
Reduced Risk of Complications: The precision of the laser reduces the risk of complications such as infection or excessive bleeding.
Effective Results: LANAP is clinically proven to be effective in treating gum disease, reducing pocket depths, and promoting the growth of new, healthy tissue and bone.
