Discover Effective Treatments for Gum Disease

If you’ve been diagnosed with periodontal (gum) disease, you’re not alone. Many adults in the U.S. are affected by various forms of this condition, which can range from mild gum inflammation to severe cases involving significant damage to the supportive tissues and bone around the teeth, potentially leading to tooth loss.

State-of-the-Art Treatment Options

At our practice, we provide cutting-edge treatments for gum disease, including OralDNA Testing and L.A.N.A.P. (Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure). Oral D.N.A. Testing is a specialized bacterial analysis that identifies the risk and presence of gum disease. L.A.N.A.P., an FDA-approved procedure, is particularly beneficial for patients with advanced periodontal disease. Dr. Sullivant has received extensive training in this advanced laser technique, making us one of only nine offices in Arkansas to offer this innovative treatment.

Benefits of L.A.N.A.P. Laser Therapy

The LANAP protocol stands out as the only laser gum disease treatment FDA-cleared for True Regeneration. This means it can stimulate the re-growth of tissues and bone lost due to gum disease. Patients who opt for LANAP over traditional osseous surgery report significant advantages, including:

  • Less Pain: Patients experience reduced discomfort during and after treatment.
  • Minimal Post-Op Sensitivity: Compared to traditional methods, LANAP results in less sensitivity.
  • Preservation of Gum Tissue: LANAP helps minimize gum recession.
  • Quick Recovery: Patients typically experience minimal downtime following the procedure.
