LANAP Recovery: Will I Be In Pain After Surgery?

A Common Question About Pain and Recovery

Fears associated with medical treatment and surgeries is normal. Believe us, we know. We work with patients all the time (and over many years) who are concerned about “how much this is going to hurt.”

Patients are sometimes so concerned about the pain involved with periodontal procedures that they’ll put off having the procedure done or delay it for as long as they can.

Importantly, over the last few years, the treatment of gum disease and other issues related to repairing gums and teeth has advanced dramatically. High-tech procedures have increased and the pain and recovery time with procedures has dramatically decreased.

What about recovery – will I be in pain?

With LANAP Laser Gum Surgery, we tell our patients that the sense of recovery is essentially “immediate.” That’s because of the laser’s ability to seal blood vessels, lymphatics and nerve endings.

What You Can Expect After Surgery

• less post-procedure discomfort
• less inflammation and bleeding during and after the procedure
• less chance of dental decay following the procedure
• a more aesthetic appearance of the gums after the procedure
• a faster rate of healing and gum re-growth

Naturally, the tissue of the surrounding area needs time to recover, regenerate and heal. And this does take time. But after your procedure treatment, you can drive your car, go back to work, or do anything else you like.

Plus, our office staff is SUPER FOCUSED on making your entire procedure comfortable. Our doctors work to minimize any pain and discomfort associated with your procedures.

“Doctor DeTure and his staff do a fantastic job of taking efforts to minimize pain while keeping their patients comfortable” says local Fort Lauderdale periodontist, Dr. Sawan Malik.
