LANAP® – Laser Gum Surgery
This state-of-the-art therapy underlines our commitment to your health, utilizing laser technology to achieve true periodontal regeneration, new bone growth, and gum tissue reattachment. Unlike conventional surgery, LANAP is designed to treat the source of inflammation without harming any healthy gum tissue, ensuring a more comfortable and effective healing process. This procedure is far more comfortable than traditional gum surgery.
The LANAP Difference
LANAP protocol is a less painful, more successful alternative to traditional gum surgery. It’s precisely engineered to target and eliminate the underlying cause of gum disease with minimal discomfort and without the need for cutting or stitching. This revolutionary treatment not only clears away infection but also stimulates the body’s natural healing processes, leading to the regeneration of crucial periodontal structures and the prevention of tooth loss.
Advantages of Choosing LANAP at New Image Dentistry
- Minimally Invasive: Our LANAP treatment is significantly less invasive compared to traditional methods. This decreases post-operative pain and greatly reduces recovery time.
- Scientifically Proven Results: LANAP is the only laser-assisted protocol scientifically proven to regenerate both soft tissue and bone.
- Quick Recovery: Typically, patients experience less than a 24-hour recovery period, meaning minimal interruption to daily life.
- Certified Provider: Dr. Blourchian is a certified LANAP provider, ensuring the highest level of skill and care in performing this advanced procedure.
Pinhole Surgical Technique
This innovative, minimally invasive procedure, invented and patented by John Chao, DDS, MAGD, offers a scalpel-free, suture-free solution for correcting gum recession. It provides a quicker, more comfortable recovery than traditional methods, making it a preferred choice for patients seeking effective gum recession treatment.
Understanding the Pinhole Surgical Technique
The PST™ procedure is performed through a small pinhole made in the gum tissue. Using specialized instruments, our trained dental professionals gently loosen and slide the gum tissue over the areas of recession. This technique allows for immediate cosmetic improvement and long-lasting results, without the need for cutting or stitches. It is designed to minimize patient discomfort, swelling, and bleeding post-procedure, making it a revolutionary approach to treating gum recession.
The New Image Dentistry Advantage
- Minimal Discomfort and Recovery Time: PST™ is significantly less painful than traditional grafting methods, with most patients experiencing minor symptoms that are easily managed with over-the-counter medications.
- No Grafts, Scalpels, or Sutures: This technique eliminates the need to take donor tissue from the patient’s palate, providing a less invasive and more comfortable experience.
- Expert Care: Our team at New Image Dentistry, led by skilled professionals, is trained to perform the Pinhole Surgical Technique with precision and care, ensuring optimal outcomes for our patients.
