Dr. Sarah Oshman on LANAP laser gum disease surgery: 3 takeaways

Sarah Oshman, DDS, of New York City-based Dental Care Alliance offers patients the option to use the LANAP laser to treat gum disease and LAPIP for ailing dental implants.

Here are three takeaways:

1. The LANAP laser allows dentists to offer definitive treatment to patients in the early stages of periodontal disease and treat gum disease swiftly before it progresses.

2. LANAP treatments target the source of the inflammation without hurting or removing any healthy gum tissue to slow or stop attaching loss, decrease pocket depth and allow the body to recover from the infection without the need for scalpel or sutures.

3. This is the only laser gum disease treatment FDA cleared to regenerate the bone and tissues lost to gum disease.
