How LANAP® Helps Save Teeth — Even When Gum Disease Is Advanced

Many patients come to us worried they may lose teeth due to advanced periodontal disease. In

the past, that often meant invasive gum surgery or extractions. Today, LANAP® gives patients a

chance to save teeth that might otherwise be lost.

Why Advanced Gum Disease Threatens Your Smile

Gum disease destroys the bone and connective tissue that hold your teeth in place. Over time,

this leads to:

● Loose or shifting teeth

● Spaces forming between teeth

● Gum recession

● Difficulty chewing

● Bone loss visible on X-rays

The longer it progresses, the harder it becomes to stabilize the teeth — unless advanced

treatment steps in.

How LANAP® Can Help Save At-Risk Teeth

LANAP® is uniquely effective because it doesn’t just remove diseased tissue — it stimulates

your body’s ability to regenerate bone and connective tissue.

With LANAP®, patients often experience:

● Reduced pocket depth

● New attachment of gum tissue

● Stabilization of loose teeth

● Slower or halted progression of bone loss

● A healthier environment for long-term stability

For many patients, LANAP® avoids the need for extractions and makes future restorative care

— like implants, crowns, or bridges — far more predictable.

Why LANAP® Outperforms Traditional Gum Surgery

Traditional periodontal surgery requires cutting the gums, removing tissue, and placing sutures.

LANAP® avoids all of that:

● No cutting

● No stitches

● Minimal downtime

● Dramatically less discomfort

● Faster healing and better long-term outcomes

For patients with dental anxiety, medical sensitivities, or tight schedules, LANAP® offers a

significantly better experience.

A Strong Foundation for Your Teeth — and Your Health

Healthy gums support more than your smile. Research shows periodontal disease is linked to:

● Diabetes

● Heart disease

● Stroke

● Pregnancy complications

● Chronic inflammation

By treating gum disease effectively, you support your whole-body health.
