Laser Treatment for Gum Disease
Dr.
Simpson is licensed to practice the Laser-Assisted New
Attachment Procedure™, a minimally invasive method of
treating gum disease. LANAP is the only laser-assisted
procedure certified by the FDA for treatment of
periodontitis or gum disease. You may have heard about or
experienced the remarkable results from laser treatments for
vision correction and other medical procedures. Now, that
same technology is revolutionizing dentistry! With LANAP,
gum disease can be treated successfully without scalpels or
sutures, so healing and recovery is generally faster and
less painful than traditional gum surgery. If you’ve been
told you need gum surgery, but have been putting it off, let
us show you how easy your treatment really can be.
