I had this done and it is absolutely amazing. The cost was about 4000 dollars with insurance covering 1200. I paid about 2800 out of pocket. I had severe periodontal disease. Healing was about 2 weeks before being cleared to floss, brush and eat on the side that was treated. The periodontist will sedate the patient, so you do not feel any pain with this procedure at all. My gums have changed their color and are no longer puffy, breath is fresh and clean, even when waking up in the morning. The gums have tightened up around the base of my tooth providing tighter teeth and I no longer bleed when brushing. I highly recommend this procedure to anyone that needs periodontal treatment and is able to afford this. You will not regret it.
are u sure? i got this done for 1000$ 500 for the top 500 for the bottom no insurance...................u got ripped of maybe and my dentist is not cheapass hes one of the top 20 in Texas .....Juan Echeverri
Yes im sure, and I've checked 10 other places, others being in other states and they're all the same price I paid. I think you had something else done.
+portscan69 Wow. . . That is expensive. I just had this procedure done today in 4 quadrants for $300 after insurance. Although mines probably isn't as severe or as wide spread as yours, I had a few 4-5mm pockets in my gums that calls for a deep cleaning with laser treatment. I am only 25 and looking at that, I feel like putting more effort into cleaning my teeth now.
+monica haynes doing great! Sorry for the delay, never got a notification. It's been about two years and everything is amazing. I had nothing under a 4 pocket size, with some being an 8! Now, everything is a 1 or 2.
I have calculus, I have a treatment with university of Colorado dental school I think they are leaving some calculus I would like to get a treatment with this technique in Denver.

Just had the Lanap done for 6K in USA. Full mouth. Not sure if insurance will pay 2K since this is my cap for the year but the office says they should (they said they usually pay 50%, up to the max of ur insurance).
@@kellycara6473 the procedure itself is not too too bad, but uncomfortable - had one side of mouth done on a Friday, and the next side next Friday... couldn't eat much for 2 weeks except mushy stuff and it hurt each time for the Friday and the Saturday after... but 1.5 yrs later, my gums are still tighter, no blood when I floss and it seems some bone regrew and I don't have the 10mm deep pockets (there were a couple this deep)... feeling better, healthier gums... not sure how long it will last but it definitely slowed down the train wreck I was on.
@@kellycara6473 I had issues with my teeth since I got them at 3-4 yrs (even with baby teeth!) and had periodontal gum disease for years...used to get one side of the month inflamed at least once a month so for me the decision was easy - I had to do something...get a different opinion though cause this lanap is a cash cow for dentists so I guess lots of conflict of interest for them :)...good luck! p.s. I'm curious how long the benefits will last for me but so far so good
my prothodontist lasered my gums and caused me to get "gum disease', thus making the gums 'recede;, exposing roots, and causing pain. now im having to get my teeth pulled. he said, this procedure was 99% proof , it didnt work
prosthodontist, who accused me of flossing/brushing too hard(?) so i then went to a periodontist(gums) and he said, no u dont have peridontal disease, and give the gums 3 wks time to heal, then get the final crowns seated. but the gum line is still grey in color in spots, and not filling in where he lasered and they receded. hope i have anough collegen they heal
@@kathystokes4781 Prostodontist is a cosmetic dentist. I had a Prostodontist years ago perform work on a few teeth and she lasered above one of my top teeth to make the arch of the gum higher. Meaning, she burned *off* part of the gum to shape it, and placed a veneer on that tooth to bring it in line with the rest of the teeth. Years later, fast forward... that very tooth shifted *badly* and became rotted at the gum line. Same as you, the root is completely exposed. There's a visible seam between the gum and the top of the tooth and I can't even touch it with a toothpick, it's so sensitive that it seems me through the ceiling in pain. The gum line she shaved away, I believe now caused there to be less sturdiness there, and it caused loss of bone. I now need to have the whole tooth removed and an implant placed. It's going to cost me 5K for the implant, plus an additional $1200 for deep cleaning, and no dentists will say what caused this tooth to shift so badly. I'm suspecting peri-menopause. I never should've let her touch that gum but had no idea that it wasn't in my best interests to go removing portion of the gum above the tooth. Now 20 years later I'm furious. I now will never let any dentist "shave away" my gums, because you're supposed to *prevent* gum loss, *not encourage it.* The laser in this video is not the same as lasering away your gums though, I don't think. It's a different procedure.
@@01egna ; Light is part of the electromagnetic spectrum, which ranges from radio waves to gamma rays. This laser operates on infrared waves. So, it is just semantics whether we call them waves or radiation, however, "light" or "waves" sounds less scarily for less educated people ;-)
@@01egna It is just opposite. My way of thinking is not narrow minded as yours ;-) Many people, like Rija here, use word "radiation" as "radioactive" in meaning. That why she asked "is'nt it hazardous?" Go up, and have a look. Cheers ;-)
@@01egna - You don't have to read minds to know that when someone refers to "radiation" as "dangerous", they are referring to the sort of radiation you get for cancer treatment. In the U.S., it's really the main way we speak of radiation. Matt is right.
Go to a dentist and have xrays done and you'll know if you need it if you see triangles of hardened plaque under your gums on the xray. The laser isn't performed by all dentists. In fact some dentists don't even perform deep cleanings-- they send you to a periodontist which specializes in gum disease.
It is *not common* here in New York. Only a few dentists do it. It's probably the cost of the machine. Either that, or it's completely useless, they know it, and no one is telling us. Maybe UK are the ones that know this and USA are the ones getting ripped off. A deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) including the laser here in NY is $1200. The prices here are the reason people have teeth falling out.

Great animation. It really shows how Laser Periodontal Therapy works. Good job!
How different is this treatment than LANAP?
Can laser be used on a tooth with a gold crown? Dentist says I have bone loss under a gold crown and may need to be extracted. I'd like to avoid that.
This is available allover the UK. Its also called Periowave also.
I have calculus, I have a treatment with university of Colorado dental school I think they are leaving some calculus I would like to get a treatment with this technique in Denver.

did you have it done on the whole mouth for this price.or some areas only? Is it $4,000 in the united states
Yes. The do top and bottom left side, then top bottom right side a month later. 4 Grand US. May be cheaper at different places.
Could you tell me the name of the Dr. or office where you got this done?

Is it painful?
Is this the same as LANAP? thanks
Excellent job 👏
Seems a bit weak. I prefer a phased plasma pulse in the 40 wat range.
Can I use this laser for ENT in case of tonsillectomy?
Why remove the epithelial lining first and after that do calculus removal ?
good ?
this video is terrifying
Can any one tell how much does it coast in India for this treatment
Thank you very much....
bel video molto didattico , rende comprensibile un trattamento efficace per un male antico.
