LANAP Laser Gum Therapy in Long Beach: Regrowing Gums Without Surgery

For many patients, hearing the words “gum disease” can spark fear of painful surgery, long recovery times, and uncomfortable treatments. But at Heartwell Dental, Dr. Abraam Girgis offers LANAP laser gum therapy. 

This is a transformative procedure that supports natural gum regeneration without the need for incisions or stitches. Advanced, minimally-invasive LANAP technology is helping more patients preserve their natural teeth and gums, both comfortably and confidently.

What Is LANAP and How Does It Work?

LANAP (Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure) is an FDA-approved laser treatment for moderate to severe periodontal (gum) disease. Unlike traditional gum surgery, which involves cutting and suturing, LANAP uses a specialized dental laser to precisely target infected tissue without harming healthy gum tissue. 

This treatment for periodontal disease encourages bone and tissue regeneration, effectively helping to regrow gum tissue and stabilize natural teeth. Here’s what makes LANAP different:

• No scalpel and no stitches: Patients experience minimal discomfort during and after the procedure.
• Faster recovery: Most patients return to regular activities within a day.
• Promotes natural healing: LANAP stimulates the body’s own regenerative processes to help rebuild gums and bone loss.

Benefits of LANAP for Gum Disease Treatment

Dr. Girgis and his team at Heartwell Dental believe that periodontal care shouldn’t be dreaded or delayed. That’s why they use LANAP laser technology, to take the fear out of gum disease treatment while delivering lasting results. This procedure offers a wide range of benefits for patients facing chronic gum issues. A few of the biggest benefits of LANAP include:

• Less pain and anxiety: Many patients report little to no pain compared to traditional surgery.
• Preservation of natural teeth: Because LANAP helps regenerate attachment around teeth, it often prevents the need for extractions.
• Minimal gum recession: Since there is no cutting involved, there’s little risk of exposed roots or cosmetic concerns.

Comfort Through Technology

At Heartwell Dental, your comfort is just as important as your clinical outcome. That’s why Dr. Girgis invests in high-precision, patient-friendly tools like CBCT imaging and iTero digital scanners to elevate every visit. When it comes to LANAP laser gum therapy, the use of this advanced technology means:

• Pinpoint accuracy: The laser targets infection with remarkable precision, minimizing damage and supporting healing.
• Impression-free diagnosis: Digital scanners remove the need for messy molds and improve treatment planning.

Pairing LANAP therapy with modern diagnostics allows for more personalized, effective treatments, and a smoother experience from start to finish.

Is LANAP Right for You?

If you're dealing with bleeding gums, chronic bad breath, gum recession, or loose teeth, you may be a candidate for LANAP. Dr. Girgis provides each patient with clear, compassionate guidance to help them understand the best path forward, without pressure or judgment. His goal is to preserve your natural smile while educating you on how to maintain lifelong oral health. LANAP is ideal for patients who:

• Have moderate to advanced periodontal disease
• Prefer a minimally invasive option
• Want to avoid traditional surgery and lengthy recovery
• Are seeking a holistic, regenerative approach to dental care

During your consultation, Dr. Girgis will evaluate your gum health and walk you through what to expect with the LANAP procedure, so you can feel completely confident in your care plan.
