What is LANAP Laser Therapy Treatment? Visit our Certified LANAP Provider, Dr. Anna K. Talmood
Dr. Anna K. Talmood is certified to provide LANAP treatment in her Fullerton dental practice. The LANAP protocol is a laser-based treatment for gum disease that eliminates the need for cutting and suturing. Patients typically report less pain and discomfort during and after the procedure, compared to traditional periodontal surgery. This less invasive, patient friendly procedure helps you get healthy again comfortably, without fear. The LANAP protocol can help you maintain a beautiful smile line without the use of traditional surgery.
The LANAP protocol is a patented periodontal treatment, cleared by the FDA in 2004 and Dr. Anna K. Talmood has fulfilled the requirements to offer this treatment to her patients of Fullerton and surrounding Orange County areas. The procedure can only be done with the PerioLase® MVP-7; this laser operates at a specific wavelength that attacks the bacteria that contributes to gum disease while leaving healthy tissue intact. Post-surgical recession and tooth sensitivity, which can be significant following traditional gum surgery, are also greatly reduced.
Why Should I Consider LANAP Laser Therapy to Treat Gum Disease?
Dr. Talmood takes a holistic approach to the dental health of her patients. Gum disease is linked to several health problems – from heart disease, stroke, diabetes and pre-term babies – but only a small percentage of these adults get the treatment they need. Over 50% of American adults have gum disease – so Dr. Talmood is passionate about providing a less invasive treatment option to patients who suffer from gum disease but do not want to undergo painful surgery to treat it.
Traditional gum disease treatment options involve cutting the gum tissue or extracting the teeth but thanks to the gentle nature of the LANAP procedure, patients typically see immediate results with less bleeding when brushing and less bad breath. Of course, your gums need time to recover and heal, but after LANAP® treatment, you can drive your car, go back to work, or do anything else you like.
