LANAP

LANAP = Laser Assisted Regeneration (LAR)

An FDA-cleared laser treatment called the LANAP protocol offers a less painful, more successful treatment alternative to conventional surgery. LANAP=LAR is the only scientifically, research proven methodology that results in true periodontal regeneration, new bone growth and gum tissue reattachment. LANAP and LAR is accomplished with the PerioLase MVP-7. It is a free-running, variable pulsed Nd:YAG laser. The 7 variable pulse durations can be thought of as “different lasers” in one device as they have discrete and discriminating tissue interactions. The LANAP=LAR treatment is one of the most successful protocols in treating gum disease because it can target the source of the inflammation without hurting or removing any healthy gum tissue, slow or stop attachment loss and decrease pocket depth, and allowing the body to recover from the chronic infection without the need for scalpel or sutures.

What Dr. Poulos & Patients say about the LANAP Protocol

The LANAP protocol is evidence-based dentistry.

The LANAP protocol is the only patient-friendly, predictable solution for ailing implants. Studies indicate 95% of the failing implants treated with the LANAP protocol have reintegrated in the pocket and stabilized with bone growth of 3-8 threads.

Because no resection or reflection of a vertically oriented flap is needed, the integrity of the structural tissue is retained. Thus all other future treatment options remain.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've had fillings, a crown, and deep cleanings done here, and the one thing that stays consistent is the level of service and professionalism. No matter who is treating me, the experience is the same. The staff is great and friendly, and the dentist is personable and patient. It's over a 45-minute drive for me, but the quality of care and overall experience make it well worth it. Highly recommended!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From the moment I walked in until I left, I felt the staff treated me like a person and not a number.  They were all likeable including the doctor himself.

Ditto this time around
