Does Bone Grow Back After LANAP
I am interested in LANAP. Will the bone grow back after this procedure.

Thanks for your enquiry. LANAP procedure creates an environment for your body to re-grow bone in areas that you have lost it. There are several things that are necessary for this to happen. First of all, a strict protocol has to be followed by the dentist when they are treating you and by the patient (home care and post operative care). Also, a sufficient amount of tissue volume needs to be present in order for the bone to regenerate. If you have had gingival recession and bone loss bone will not grow back in these areas. The most important thing that you have to understand is that the LNAP procedure gets rid of the periodontal disease and this is the most important thing. Yes, bone can and will sometimes grow in areas that you have lost it, but the disease has been eliminated.
