Laser Dentistry - Lakewood Ranch, FL

Gum disease is a serious condition threatening both your oral and systemic health. Without treatment, the progressive disease leads to bone loss, tooth loss and a whole host of other health concerns. Traditional osseous gum surgery has proven effective, yet requires a more invasive approach to treating gum disease and repairing its destructive effects. Dr. Lindsay Eastman, however, offers a gentle, minimally invasive alternative to achieving periodontal health with the use of LANAP® laser gum surgery.

Little to no gum recession results
Little to no pain or discomfort occurs
Body’s own tissues are used to promote healing
Return to normal routines the day after treatment
Helps avoid tooth loss due to periodontal disease

Choosing LANAP® laser gum surgery to treat your periodontal infection affords you the opportunity to get the fast, comfortable, efficient care you need without pain and discomfort or downtime. With laser technology, you can get the treatment you deserve and get on with living your life.
