Approximately 75% of American adults over age 35 have periodontal disease, and until now, the only effective treatment for deep pockets was surgical treatment. This was often painful, invasive and time consuming. Side effects after surgery would sometimes include recession, cold sensitivity of the roots and big spaces between the teeth. This had led people to look for nonsurgical treatment for their gum disesae.
Because of these side effects, many people would put off treating their gum disease and develop more severe bone loss that would result in tooth loss. Sometimes they would turn to therapies like putting antibiotic (arrestin, perio chip etc) in the pocket which can sometimes help a little, but were not effective at treating the problem.
LANAP is a revolution is treating gum disease. Without using a scalpel or stitching the gum, the laser is used to kill the bacteria in the pocket and then reattach the gum to the tooth. It is conservative periodontal treatment and is often an idea fit for people looking for nonsurgical (no scalpel no sutures) gum treatment.
Dr. David Scharf is the first periodontist on Long Island to be fully trained and licensed to perform Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure (LANAP) - an amazing breakthrough that offers significantly-improved results in less time and with minimal discomfort - and you get to keep your smile!
"LANAP is improving gum treatment the same way that LASIK revolutionized eye surgery," says Dr. Scharf. "The laser eliminates diseased tissue while preserving healthy gums, so scalpels and sutures are eliminated, discomfort is minimized, and the results are exceptional." “It is breakthrough treatment and is ideal for people looking for conservative gum treatment or nonsurgical treatment of gum disese.”
