What is Lanap?
The LANAP protocol is a laser-based approach to gum disease using an Nd: YAG free running pulsed laser requiring specific knowledge and skills drawn from the whole dentistry. For patients looking for a LANAP Procedure U.N. Dental Spa are available to help. We use the LANAP protocol to treat gum disease to: remove only the diseased tissue without removing any of the healthy tissue, maintain the height of the tissue around teeth, minimize pain and discomfort to the patient, get a closure of the periodontal pocket wound and allow healing to take place. U.N. Dental Spa patients should contact us today to learn more.
