RACHEL'S STORY

Rachael is a current patient of ours who came in with concerns about her periodontal health. At her consultation appointment, she was diagnosed with severe periodontal disease, and a plan was put in place to get her health back to where she wanted it to be. Just a few weeks later, she was seen in our office for the LANAP (laser assisted new attachment procedure) treatment with Dr. Sean Ference. Her results were incredible, with all indications of severe periodontal pocketing disappearing from her chart. Check out her story!

Will'S STORY

Will is a patient of ours who has a great success story with our LANAP treatment. At his initial consultation, he presented with severe periodontal disease, as well as severe bone loss in his gums. This is another huge benefit to LANAP - not only does it clear out the infection in the gums, but it also can stimulate the growth of new bone in the mouth. For Will, this is exactly what happened. Take a listen to his experience with our office above!

Paula's STORY

Paula is a patient of ours who took advantage of our ability to do same day treatment. She came in for her first visit, and left that day with her procedure completed. This is something that our incredible doctors and top of the line technology allow for us to do, and it provides a fantastic opportunity to get treated sooner rather than later. See what Paula had to say about her visit above!
