Frequently asked questions
What to expect during treatment?
LANAP periodontal surgery is a full-mouth procedure usually completed in two, 2-hour visits. Splinting of loose teeth may occur during this visit if necessary. One side of the mouth is completed during the first visit, and a week later the other side is then completed at the second visit. It is very common for patients to quickly resume normal activities or return to work.
What to expect after treatment?
-
Do not brush or floss for the first 7-10 days after treatment.
-
Follow a soft diet as recommended by your treating dentist.
-
Do not smoke. Smoking interferes with the healing process by impairing the body’s defense mechanisms.
