FREDERICK, Md., Nov. 16, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Advanced Implants & Periodontics now offers patients with periodontitis a quick and safe laser based treatment for gum disease. The LANAP protocol is minimally invasive treatment option that can help patients save their teeth.

Gum disease is a bacterial infection that can destroy the bone around your teeth if not treated properly. Without bone to support the teeth, they become loose and can fall out or be removed. The LANAP protocol is the only FDA cleared laser treatment that is scientifically proven to regenerate the bone, tissues and cementum destroyed by periodontal disease.

“Our practice goal is to provide exceptional service in a comfortable and caring environment. We are committed to preventative, minimally invasive and evidence-based treatment that helps save your teeth.” - Dr. Melanie Towe, Advanced Implants and Periodontics, Frederick MD

Post this

"Our practice goal is to provide exceptional service in a comfortable and caring environment. We are committed to preventative, minimally invasive and evidence-based treatment that helps save your teeth," states Dr. Melanie Towe. "Now, with the LANAP protocol, we have another approach to help more patients."

The impact of untreated gum disease goes well beyond the mouth. It has been linked to heart disease, diabetes, stroke, and certain cancers. Now patients in Frederick, MD have a safe and effective treatment option that is less invasive than traditional surgery with fewer post-operative effects.

"Offering LANAP to our patients aligns with our practice's core values of Integrity, Quality, Service and Compassion," sates Dr. Lisa Shoff. "LANAP treatment allows us to combine advanced technology with improving the patient experience and still provide long-term stable results."

The LANAP protocol uses the unique PerioLase® MVP-7™ dental laser to vaporize bacteria deep within the pockets of the gums while leaving healthy tissue intact. Patients choosing LANAP treatment enjoy fast healing times and more predictable results. Some of the primary benefits of LANAP laser surgery as compared to traditional cut-and-sew surgery are:

  • Less pain and very little downtime after treatment
  • Less sensitivity
  • Less gum loss
  • Promotes regeneration of supporting gum tissues and bone

The LANAP protocol is also safe for patients with health concerns. Patients taking medicine such as Plavix or aspirin can continue medications throughout treatment.

For information on the LANAP protocol, call Advanced Implants & Periodontics at (240) 651-5478 or visit https://frederickimplant.com.
