Gum disease doesn’t always need surgery. At Pathways Dental Clinic in NE Calgary, we offer Laser-Assisted Periodontal Therapy (LAPT) and Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure (LANAP) — minimally invasive Calgary dental treatments that effectively fight gum disease using cutting-edge laser technology.
These procedures are ideal for patients who want to avoid traditional surgery while still achieving excellent long-term results. If you’re struggling with bleeding gums, loose teeth, or deep periodontal pockets, laser therapy might be right for you.
Laser gum therapy is a modern treatment option that uses soft-tissue lasers to target and remove infected gum tissue, sterilize the area, and encourage healing, all without cutting into the gums.
LANAP (Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure) goes a step further by promoting reattachment of gum tissue to the teeth and stimulating bone regeneration.
These procedures are a safe, effective, and comfortable alternative to traditional periodontal surgery.
Benefits of Laser Gum Therapy:
- No Cutting or Stitches: Minimally invasive with faster healing.
- Reduced Pain & Swelling: Most patients experience little to no discomfort.
- Bone & Tissue Regeneration: Promotes natural healing and preservation of teeth.
- Precise Targeting: The laser selectively removes diseased tissue while preserving healthy gums.
- Quick Recovery: Get back to your daily life faster.
- Safe for Anxious or Medically Compromised Patients: Often ideal for patients who can’t undergo traditional surgery.
Laser gum therapy may be recommended if you have:
- Moderate to severe periodontal disease
- Bleeding or receding gums
- Loose teeth or bone loss
- Gum pockets that trap bacteria
- Dental anxiety or medical conditions that make surgery high-risk
We’ll conduct a thorough examination and periodontal charting to determine if this treatment is right for you.
