What Can I Expect with LANAP^® in Fort Walton Beach, FL

Gum disease is an infection in your gums starting with plaque buildup that hardens to form tartar. When these substances collect on your teeth, it enables bacteria to accumulate and produce toxins that can lead to the breakdown of soft tissue and bone. Periodontal disease is an advanced form of gum disease and is characterized by loss of bone and supporting structures.

LANAP^® is a minimally painful procedure used by dental professionals to treat moderate to advanced gum disease. It is also the least time consuming and is an effective treatment.

LANAP^® eliminates bacteria and diseased tissue, improves gum health, and engages the regeneration of bone. The laser treatment uses the least invasive technique, meaning faster healing of your gums and often minimal to no gum recession resulting from treatment.

Laser gum surgery is offered by Dr. Bartruff who is specifically trained to administer the procedure. The FDA has cleared the use of the PerioLase® MVP-7^™ based on its safety and effectiveness in reengineering your gums.
