Enhanced Gum Disease Treatment With Laser Dentistry
Dr. Reiner in Vero Beach, FL, is certified to perform laser gum surgery using the state-of-the-art Periolase® laser. Periodontitis (moderate to advanced gum disease) causes gum tissue to pull away from the teeth, which can cause a domino effect of oral health issues including tooth loss and jawbone deterioration. Periolase eliminates the need for scalpels and sutures when treating periodontitis because it uses laser energy to eliminate bacteria and promote the reattachment of the soft tissue when pockets form between the gums and teeth.
6 Important Benefits of Laser Dentistry
A More Pleasant Experience
If you hate the thought of your dentist using scalpels and sutures to treat your gums, you can relax knowing that Periolase can make these traditional tools unnecessary.
Reduced Infection Risk
Our lasers sterilize the procedure area as they work, killing bacteria in the process.
Conservative Treatment
The accuracy of laser dentistry means less healthy tissue is disturbed during treatment.
Reduced Bleeding
Dr. Reiner's laser cauterizes incisions during treatment, so bleeding is greatly reduced.
No Sutures
The cauterizing effect also means you probably won't need sutures, or a special visit to our Vero Beach, FL, practice to have sutures removed.
Faster Recovery
Laser treatment can stimulate tissue to grow back faster while reducing post-procedure pain and inflammation.
Laser ENAP / LPT / Laser ANAP
Commonly known as the LANAP protocol

D) Laser finishes debriding pocket and aids in hemostasis
E) Reattachment of rete ridges to clean root surface, with a stable fibrin clot at the gingival crest to create a "closed system"

Laser Gum Disease Treatment: Step by Step
LANAP (laser-assisted new attachment procedure) is typically completed in two office visits, one for either side of the mouth. There is usually about a week between the two sessions. Here is what to expect, from your first treatment to your recovery:
Is Laser Gum Disease Treatment Right for Me?
If your gum disease has reached a moderate or severe level, LANAP can probably benefit you. Meanwhile, if the thought of treatment that uses scalpels and sutures makes you feel anxious, this treatment can be a great way to help you feel comfortable in the dentist's chair while getting the treatment you need. While traditional methods may require patients who take blood thinners to stop taking their meds for a while, LANAP does not.
The surest way to know whether LANAP can help you overcome moderate to advanced gum disease with improved comfort, minimized risks, and a faster recovery is to get in touch with our office serving Vero Beach and surrounding communities. Dr. Reiner will conduct a careful analysis of your oral health to determine if this is the best way to restore the health of your smile.
