Gum Disease and Your Health

Patients with gum disease may be at an increased risk of developing other health issues such as diabetes, heart disease, or having low birth weight babies. Traditional gum surgery can be painful and cause trauma to the gum tissue, but the Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure (LANAP®) with Dr. Keith Chertok is a minimally invasive alternative and does not involve any cutting or stitching of the gums.

LANAP® Laser Gum Disease Treatment


What is LANAP®?

Millions of Americans have gum disease, but only some end up seeking the treatment they need to restore their oral health. Research shows a link between gum disease and a number of health problems, including diabetes, heart disease, and certain types of cancers. Until recently, the only option for surgically treating periodontal disease involved cutting the gum tissue and stitching the gums back together. Today, patients can undergo LANAP®, which kills bacteria under the gum line while leaving healthy tissue intact. LANAP® patients enjoy a fast recovery time and more predictable results.

Benefits of LANAP®

The key benefits of LANAP® include:

• Fast healing time - Since this is a minimally invasive procedure, the body can heal very quickly.
• Minimal discomfort - The laser used in this procedure causes little to no discomfort.
• Less downtime - Most patients can return to their regular schedule the same day as their procedure.
• Little to no gum recession - Laser gum disease treatment does not lower the gum line, thereby reducing the chance of gum recession resulting from treatment.
• Reduced inflammation and bleeding - The procedure can remove up to 90 percent of inflammation in a single visit.
• Minimal bleeding - Patients experience less bleeding and complications than with traditional gum surgery.
• Saves the teeth - The procedure helps to save natural teeth.
• Bone regeneration - Laser gum disease treatment can regenerate bone tissue around the tooth structure.
• Safe - The procedure has zero contraindications.

Advanced technology has significantly enhanced our ability to treat gum disease in a more conservative manner. For additional information about LANAP ®, schedule your consultation with Dr. Chertok, Periodontist in Berkeley, CA today!
