Did You Know?

Over half of the U.S. population suffers from moderate to severe periodontal disease (gum disease) yet less than 3% actually receive treatment! Many are worried about the pain or discomfort associated with traditional treatments but left untreated, gum disease can cause tooth and bone loss. The LANAP protocol can quickly eliminate disease-causing bacteria, improving the health of your smile.

The LANAP® Protocol

Minimally Invasive

Historically gum disease has been treated with scalpels, cutting away the diseased tissue and suturing the remaining tissue back together. As opposed to using a scalpel, LANAP® uses Light Energy to selectively remove the diseased tissue while leaving the healthy tissue unharmed and unaffected. This new protocol, is more conservative in nature and results in less pain and faster healing.

Eliminated Harmful Bacteria

Your mouth is home to millions of different types of bacteria. Some bad. Some good. When examining the harmful bacteria under a microscope we have found that it has a much darker color. The light used in the LANAP® protocol seeks out this dark color and eliminates it without cutting at all!

Long-Term Solution

Many treatment options available for gum disease can be compared to putting a band aide on a wound. They can cover it up, or slow it down, or mask the symptom. But eventually it comes back. LANAP® takes into consideration ALL of the critical factors that contribute to gum disease and it is a protocol that delivers predictable long-term results.

Alternative To Traditional Surgery

Before implementing this groundbreaking procedure, surgery would normally be required to remove gum disease. Incisions, sutures, removal of gum tissue and possibly gum grafting were necessary, causing longer recovery times.

Saving "Hopeless" Teeth

This is the first FDA-cleared procedure for true tissue and bone regeneration. Now you can save your bone, and your teeth by naturally regenerating new bone and tissue that supports your teeth. LANAP® is the only protocol FDA approved for bone regeneration.

What To Expect

You can expect to have a complete in-office experience. Because the lasers in the LANAP® device have been specially programmed, they will not affect your healthy gum tissue. This enables the healthy tissues to regenerate and heal immediately after LANAP® treatment has concluded.

Dr. Michael T. Thrasher

Dr. Thrasher’s love of dentistry began on the many trips from Gatesville to Waco to see his orthodontist. As a small child, he had very large “buck” teeth, so at age 14, Dr. Thrasher and his mother set out on a mission to correct this problem.

Over the next four years of not only metal braces but also extensive headgear, his teeth and his future career path were transformed. Dr. Thrasher developed a close relationship with Dr. Ed Taylor, who always kept him entertained with hunting and fishing stories, which were of great interest to the then teenager. This relationship sealed the deal for Dr. Thrasher’s future career.

Dr. Thrasher attended Baylor University, where he chose a pre-dental, pre-med career path. After graduating cum laude from Baylor and being accepted by several dental schools across the nation, he chose to go to Baylor College of Dentistry in Dallas. Once he started dental school, Dr. Thrasher’s interest in all areas of dentistry broadened. While he still had a great interest in orthodontics, he loved learning all aspects of dentistry.

This love of learning has continued throughout Dr. Thrasher’s career. He has always wanted to stay on the cutting edge of dentistry. This has led to a journey of continuing education throughout his career at such prestigious institutions as the Pankey Institute in Florida, The Dawson Academy, the Las Vegas Institute, Dental Organization for Conscious Sedation (DOCS), and many others.

As Dr. Thrasher continues to grow and learn in dentistry, he has realized that it is also important to invest in the education and development of his staff to better serve our patients. As a doctor, he feels proud that our entire team is well-trained in the latest techniques. Whatever he invests in the education of our staff is reflected in the best treatment for our patients.

Today, Dr. Thrasher still loves learning the latest techniques in dentistry, working with our patients, and also hunting and fishing with his family.
