Laser Gum Procedure
Laser gum Procedure in SeaSide Centre with periodontist Dr. Logesh Sway is a gum surgery alternative to traditional scalpel surgery.
Laser gum surgery using the Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure (LANAP®) protocol is minimally invasive and uses the only laser that is FDA cleared for gum disease, the PerioLase® MVP-7™. Laser gum surgery is a safe and effective gum disease treatment for patients with periodontal disease.
During laser gum surgery with Jackson periodontist Dr. Sway, light energy is used to quest out harmful bacteria inside the gum pockets which even scalpel can’t.
The laser is gentle, there’s no bleeding and no stitches are required. Laser gum surgery takes just two hours and patients are awake the entire time – only the working areas are numbed with a local anaesthesia.

Testimonial
Few words from our clients
Alma M.
I was referred to Dr. Logesh Sway after being diagnosed with bleeding gums and a failing dental implant due to significant bone loss. Dr. Sway examined me and explained the benefits of the LANAP laser surgery vs the traditional Bone Grafting procedure which I had done twice before, and in my opinion was torturous! At first it was a blow to me because of the cost, as it is still a new procedure and not yet covered by insurance, but after going over the details in length with Dr. Sway and my own research, reading and seeing the rapid healing results and success stories, I decided that I was going to go with the LANAP Procedure and put my trust in Dr. Sway. The Pain was minimal and the outcome has been better than I ever imagined!!! My results were better than expected and even Dr. Sway was surprised by my significant bone growth, I am so very happy, and so very grateful to Dr. Sway. Thank you!!!
