Laser Gum Therapy (LANAP)

Do you avoid dental visits because you know you need gum therapy? We understand. Nobody wants their gums poked and prodded. At Tyler Dental Care, we take gum disease seriously, but we’d never place it above your comfort. That’s why we’ve invested in a revolutionary way to treat gum disease -- LANAP™. LANAP (Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure) is the "No Cut, No Sew, No Fear" way of treating gum and bone disease. What it means for you is less pain, very little down time, and significantly faster recovery.

Gum disease is no laughing matter. It can cause chronic bad breath, tooth loss, bone loss, and it’s been linked to heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and, for women, low birth weights. Patients with gum disease are twice as likely to develop other inflammatory illnesses. Until now, the only options were deep cleanings or surgery. With LANAP, a laser gently removes the diseased tissue and promotes gum reattachment.

LANAP, or laser gum disease therapy, allows Dr. Dowd to target only the affected areas. The laser sterilizes and cauterizes the gum tissue, and patients have reported faster healing times than with traditional gum surgery. While no gum therapy is completely painless, Dr. Dowd and our team can incorporate sedation dentistry, which will allow you to rest comfortably during the treatment.

Don’t wait until gum disease creates an emergency situation. Let Dr. Dowd and our team restore your oral health with revolutionary techniques, such as LANAP laser gum disease therapy.
