I am one of those patients who suffers from serious anxiety when it comes to dental work. Dr. Cho & her wonderful staff made my visits not just anxiety-free, but enjoyable. The LANAP treatment was virtually pain free, and I am so happy to have had Dr. Cho perform the procedure. Just knowing that my teeth & gums are healthy now, puts my mind at ease. - Trent Earnhardt Claire Cho
Non-Surgical Periodontal Therapy: LANAP NON SURGICAL PERIODONTAL THERAPY: LANAP Sufferers of periodontal disease, most commonly known as gum disease, have good news. Dr. Cho is one of the first to offer Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure (LANAP). This is a safe, effective, alternative to painful surgery that has been traditionally used. WHAT IS PERIODONTAL DISEASE? Periodontal disease is an infection of bone and supporting structure of your teeth. It involves progressive loss of the bone around the teeth, and if left untreated, can lead to the loosening and subsequent loss of teeth. Periodontal disease is caused by a convergence of bacteria that adhere to and grow on tooth’s surfaces, along with an aggressive immune response against these bacteria. Dr. Cho and her staff not only fixed my smile…they gave me a REASON to smile during every visit. WHAT IS LANAP NON-SURGICAL PERIODONTAL THERAPY? LANAP is the first and only FDA approved laser gum disease procedure that is an alternative to the traditional painful scalpel and suture gum surgery. An Nd:YAG laser with specific calibration to kill the bacteria that causes gum disease is used in the deep pockets to kill the bacteria and remove diseased tissues. New attachment from the gum to the tooth is achieved so that periodontal LANAP is a “no cut, no sew” alternative to traditional periodontal surgery. Traditional periodontal surgery involves cutting of the gums, smoothing of the bone, and suturing that results in sensitive and unsightly teeth due to root exposure. Surgery is often done in sections and many patients do not return for remaining treatment due to the amount of discomfort involved. There are no scalpels and sutures involved in the LANAP procedure and hence there is very little discomfort. Most common comment of patients is that there is no more bleeding when they brush or floss, and that their bad breath is gone. As long as patient keeps up his oral hygiene at home and comes in for their periodontal maintenance visits, the LANAP-provided attachment is stable and resistant to future periodontal breakdown. 9
