LAPT for Gum Disease Treatment

Gum disease is a progressive bacterial infection that affects 75% of American adults.

Gum disease, when left untreated, can create a domino effect of additional oral health concerns. Gum disease is linked to higher risks of tooth loss, jaw bone deterioration, cardiovascular disease, heart attacks, and strokes. Healthy gums are essential for a stable oral foundation. Gums support the teeth, protect the root systems, and help keep the bite aligned.

Advanced gum disease can now be treated using an innovative laser treatment called LAPT. Using the Ezlase laser, our dentists can remove diseased tissue and bacteria buildup from the gums, usually in a single visit.

The LAPT treatment is non-invasive and provides patients with many benefits over traditional gum surgery once required to treat periodontal disease. LAPT treatment is relatively quick and most patients experience minimal to no discomfort during treatment.

LAPT allows for precise treatment that can target specific regions to reduce harm to surrounding healthy tissue. As with all laser treatments, there is less bleeding, swelling and minimal-to-no downtimes.
