Customized Periodontal Care
No two cases of gum disease are the same, and neither is our approach. Our advanced treatments include:
- LANAP (Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure): A minimally invasive laser treatment for gum disease that promotes healing without surgery.
- LAPIP (Laser-Assisted Peri-Implantitis Procedure): A laser solution designed to treat gum disease around dental implants.
- Deep cleanings (scaling and root planing) for removing plaque and bacteria.
- Personalized care plans to maintain healthy gums.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is gum disease, and what causes it?
Gum disease, also called periodontal disease, is an infection of the gums caused by plaque buildup. It can lead to symptoms like redness, swelling, bleeding, and even tooth loss if left untreated. Our Sunny Isles Beach gum disease dentist can help diagnose and treat it before it progresses.
How does LANAP work?
LANAP is a minimally invasive treatment that uses laser technology to remove infected tissue and bacteria while promoting natural healing. It’s a comfortable, efficient alternative to traditional gum surgery.
What is LAPIP, and when is it needed?
LAPIP is a laser treatment specifically for gum disease around dental implants. It targets infected tissue without damaging the implant itself, helping to preserve your restoration.
Can gum disease be reversed?
In its early stages (gingivitis), gum disease can often be reversed with proper care and treatment. In more advanced stages, like periodontitis, treatments like LANAP and LAPIP can control the disease and prevent further damage.
What are the signs I might need gum disease treatment?
Common signs include red, swollen, or bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, receding gums, and loose teeth. If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, our expert team can help.
Is laser gum treatment painful?
No! Laser treatments like LANAP and LAPIP are designed to be minimally invasive and comfortable. Many patients find them far less painful than traditional surgery, with faster recovery times.
How do I maintain healthy gums after treatment?
Good oral hygiene is key. Brush and floss daily and visit us regularly for checkups. Our dentists will provide a personalized plan to keep your gums in great shape.
