What is the Millennium NdLaser?
The Millennium NdLaser is a specialized dental laser that emits a specific wavelength of light energy. This laser is uniquely effective in targeting and eliminating the bacteria that cause gum disease without damaging the surrounding healthy tissues. The LANAP procedure utilizes this laser to treat periodontal pockets, promoting healing and regeneration of the gum tissue.
Benefits of the LANAP Procedure
Minimally Invasive
One of the primary benefits of the LANAP procedure is its minimally invasive nature. Unlike traditional gum surgery, which often involves cutting and suturing, the LANAP procedure uses laser energy to precisely remove infected tissue and bacteria. This results in less pain, reduced bleeding, and a quicker recovery time for patients.
Promotes Natural Healing
The Millennium NdLaser not only removes harmful bacteria but also stimulates the body’s natural healing processes. The laser energy encourages the formation of new connective tissue and bone, which helps to restore the health and stability of the teeth and gums. This regeneration of tissue can lead to a significant improvement in gum health and a reduction in the depth of periodontal pockets.
Reduces Anxiety and Discomfort
Many patients experience anxiety when it comes to dental procedures, particularly those involving surgery. The LANAP procedure, with its use of the NdLaser, is designed to be as comfortable as possible. The laser treatment is gentle and precise, often requiring only local anesthesia. Patients typically report less discomfort during and after the procedure compared to traditional surgical methods.
