Say Goodbye to Gum Disease with LANAP: A Revolutionary Treatment for Your Oral Health

At Manhattan Beach Dental Solutions in Manhattan Beach, California, we understand the importance of maintaining healthy gums for oral wellness. If you’re struggling with gum disease, you may have heard about LANAP (Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure), a cutting-edge treatment that is changing the way we approach gum health. Wondering if LANAP is the right solution for you? Read on to learn more about this minimally invasive procedure and how it compares to traditional gum surgery.

What is LANAP, and how does it differ from traditional gum surgery?

LANAP is a state-of-the-art, laser-based treatment for gum disease. Unlike traditional gum surgery, which requires cutting and stitching the gums, LANAP utilizes a specialized laser to target and eliminate infected tissue while leaving healthy gum tissue intact. The laser promotes healing and allows for faster recovery with minimal discomfort compared to conventional methods.

LANAP Laser Gum Surgery

Hi there. Have you been told you have gum disease and are worried about traditional surgery? Let’s talk about linnette. LINNETTE stands for laser assisted New Attachment Procedure. It’s a revolutionary FDA cleared treatment for gum disease that uses a gentle laser instead of scalpels or stitches. And unlike traditional gum surgery, LANAP is minimally invasive. The laser selectively removes harmful bacteria while preserving healthy tissue. It also stimulates the body’s natural healing process, helping the gums reattach to teeth and supporting bone regeneration. Patients love LANAP because there’s less swelling, less pain and downtime than traditional surgery, and in many cases it can even save teeth that might otherwise be lost. If you’re putting off treatment because you’re nervous about surgery, nette may be the solution you’re looking for. Call today to learn more.


Is LANAP a safe procedure for treating gum disease?

Yes, LANAP is a safe and FDA-cleared procedure. The laser used during the treatment is designed to treat gum disease without harming healthy tissue. Since it’s minimally invasive, there’s a reduced risk of complications, such as infection or excessive bleeding, compared to traditional surgery. Our experienced team ensures the procedure is performed with the utmost care, providing a safe and comfortable experience.

LANAP Gum Disease Treatment

LANAP is a new procedure. That we use to not only take off all this bacteria. Disinfect all the roots of the teeth, but it gets the bone to regenerate again. And we get all the gums nice and healthy. No more mobility. Also, this is a surgery that does not require stitches or cutting. It uses a laser. So minimally invasive. We could do it all in one day. Let’s get your gums healthy.


What are the benefits of choosing LANAP over traditional methods for gum disease treatment?

LANAP offers several advantages over traditional gum surgery:

  1. Minimally invasive – No cutting or stitching of the gums.
  2. Faster recovery – Most patients have little recovery time and may resume regular activities in a few days.
  3. Less pain – With LANAP, the risk of post-operative pain is significantly lower than with traditional surgery.
  4. Preserved healthy tissue – The laser targets only infected tissue, leaving the healthy tissue intact, which promotes faster healing.
  5. Reduced risk of infection and bleeding – The laser sterilizes the treated area, reducing the risk of complications.

How long does the LANAP procedure take, and is it painful?

The LANAP procedure typically takes about 2-4 hours, depending on the severity of the gum disease and the number of areas being treated. While the treatment is minimally invasive, some patients may feel mild discomfort during the procedure. However, the laser helps to minimize pain, and local anesthesia is used to ensure comfort throughout. Many patients report feeling little to no pain during and after the procedure.

Bacteria video

Everybody produces bacteria in their mouth. At first, it’s invisible, and with time, that plaque in bacteria hardens against the tooth and it actually breaks down the bone that the teeth sit in. There’s a new procedure in dentistry called LANAP, where we’re able to save these teeth. We remove all the bacteria. We’d use a laser that helps to regenerate the bone that teeth sit in. Call us today, so we can schedule you an appointment.


What can I expect during the recovery process after LANAP treatment?

One of the greatest benefits of LANAP is the relatively quick recovery time. After the procedure, most patients experience only mild swelling or tenderness, which can be easily managed with over-the-counter pain relievers. You may be asked to follow specific aftercare instructions, such as avoiding hard foods and maintaining oral hygiene. Many patients can resume normal activities within a few days, and the healing continues over the next few weeks. Regular follow-up visits will ensure your gums are healing properly.

Why You Don't Need Dentures or Implants

Most people who think they need dentures or implants actually don’t. Let me explain. My name is Dr. Don Mungcal, and I’ve been helping patients improve their smiles and gum health for over 30 years. A lot of people think their only option is to live with bleeding gums, bad breath, or eventually lose teeth and replace them. But in many cases, the real problem is untreated gum disease. We treat this using a modern approach called LANAP. It’s a minimally invasive laser treatment that removes the infection under the gums while keeping the healthy tissues intact. That means no traditional gum surgery, usually no cutting, and no stitches. As the gums heal, they tighten naturally around the teeth, and patients often notice healthier gums and a cleaner-looking smile.

Brushed, Flossed, Still Bleeding? Watch This
