TL;DR: The Advanced Alternative to Gum Surgery
Too Long; Didn’t Read: Traditional gum surgery relies on scalpels and sutures to cut away diseased tissue. Dr. Feldner features LANAP (Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure), an FDA-cleared laser therapy that targets and destroys harmful oral bacteria without any blades or stitches. This advanced technology allows a board-certified specialist to comfortably save your teeth, regenerate lost bone foundation, and accelerate your healing time.
Reclaiming Your Health Without Scalpels or Stitches
If you have been told that you have advanced gum disease (periodontitis), the prospect of traditional blade-and-suture oral surgery can bring up a lot of dental anxiety. Fortunately, modern dental science has evolved. At the practice of Dr. Barry Feldner, DDS, MS, PC, we provide a patient-centric, minimally invasive solution using LANAP laser treatment in Kearney.
LANAP stands for Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure. Rather than cutting away healthy tissue to reach deep bacterial pockets, this sophisticated protocol utilizes a highly specialized, precise laser wavelength (the PerioLase® MVP-7) to distinguish between diseased and healthy tissue.
How LANAP® Regenerates Your Smile
When you choose LANAP laser gum therapy, the treatment moves through a highly controlled, scientifically validated sequence:
- Targeted Elimination: The laser light penetrates deep into periodontal pockets, selectively vaporizing hidden bacterial colonies and diseased tissue without harming your healthy gums.
- The Biological Seal: After the roots are thoroughly cleaned, the laser is used a second time to warm the area, creating a sterile, natural blood clot. This forms a protective “biological seal” that locks out bacteria and allows your body to heal naturally.
- True Bone Regeneration: Unlike traditional surgery—which simply stops further damage—extensive clinical data proves that LANAP actively stimulates the jawbone and connective ligaments, regenerating the foundational support your teeth need to survive.
Why Choose a Board-Certified Specialist for Laser Therapy?
Because advanced periodontitis alters the delicate bone and tissue architecture beneath your smile, laser parameters must be tuned with absolute precision. As a Board-Certified Periodontist and Diplomate of the American Board of Periodontology, Dr. Barry Feldner blends specialized micro-surgical expertise with state-of-the-art laser technology. This ensures a safer, more predictable outcome, less post-operative swelling, and an incredibly rapid recovery time that gets you back to your normal summer routine immediately.
