Laser Gum Surgery Using LANAP
Dr. Maddux Discusses The Many Benefits of LANAP Laser Therapy
What is LANAP laser treatment?
LANAP laser dentistry, is a cutting-edge kind of surgery. There are no blades or sutures required. LANAP laser dentistry is able to distinguish between healthy and diseased tissue, thus leaving the healthy tissue intact. The result is less pain and a shorter recovery time. For patients in Birmingham, gum surgery no longer has to be avoided.
Dr. Maddux has been using lasers for many years and is certified to perform the LANAP laser dentistry procedure. LANAP can rid your mouth of dangerous bacteria without the need for cutting and stitching.
The secret to LANAP is the PerioLase® MVP-7™. This is a highly intelligent laser that can distinguish healthy tissue from diseased tissue. The laser emits a wavelength that only affects diseased gum tissue due to a variance in the color. What this means is that for patients in Birmingham, gum surgery no longer involves the cutting away of healthy tissue. Therefore there is less pain and less discomfort. LANAP is often able to save teeth that would have previously needed extraction. If saving teeth and removing harmful bacteria is important to you, LANAP is something you should consider.
