Did you know that periodontal disease is one of the leading causes of tooth loss among adults?
When left untreated, gum disease can progress from mild inflammation to severe damage, destroying the tissues and bone that hold your teeth in place. But don’t worry—if you’re experiencing symptoms like swollen gums, bleeding, or even loose teeth, modern dentistry offers cutting-edge solutions to stop gum disease in its tracks. At Cuartas Advanced Dentistry, our on-site periodontist, Dr. Steven H. Berkowitz, specializes in Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure (LANAP) to treat periodontal disease effectively and restore your oral health.
What Is Periodontal Disease?
Periodontal disease, also known as gum disease, is an infection of the gums caused by plaque and tartar buildup. When bacteria accumulate below the gumline, they trigger inflammation and infection that can damage the surrounding tissues and bone.
Common symptoms include:
- Red, swollen, or bleeding gums
- Bad breath that doesn’t go away
- Gum recession (pulling away from the teeth)
- Loose or shifting teeth
If not treated, gum disease can result in tooth loss and impact your overall health. But the good news is that advanced periodontal treatments, like LANAP laser therapy, can reverse this damage and prevent further complications.
What Is LANAP Laser Therapy?
Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure (LANAP) is a revolutionary, minimally invasive treatment for periodontal disease. Instead of traditional gum surgery, which involves cutting and stitching the gums, LANAP uses laser technology to target and remove diseased tissue while leaving healthy tissue intact.
How LANAP Works:
- Eliminates Infection: The laser precisely targets and removes harmful bacteria and infected gum tissue.
- Promotes Healing: The procedure stimulates natural bone regeneration and tissue attachment, helping the gums heal faster.
- Minimizes Discomfort: Since LANAP is minimally invasive, there’s less bleeding, swelling, and post-treatment discomfort compared to traditional surgery.
Benefits of LANAP for Gum Disease:
- Faster recovery time
- Reduced need for anesthesia
- Minimal bleeding and pain
- Improved long-term gum health
- Helps save teeth at risk of extraction

Can LANAP Prevent Tooth Loss?
Absolutely! One of the biggest benefits of LANAP therapy is its ability to stop the progression of gum disease and save teeth that might otherwise be lost. By removing infection and promoting tissue regeneration, LANAP helps preserve the foundation of your teeth.
However, if you’ve already lost teeth due to periodontal disease, we also offer solutions like dental implants to restore your smile. Dental implants not only look and feel like natural teeth, but they also provide the stability and function you need to eat, speak, and smile confidently.
