I cannot begin to say how grateful I am to Dr. Bui for the LANAP procedure she performed on me. I had gotten myself into a pretty bad situation with gum disease and deep pockets. The first periodontist I went to performed bone grafts and flap surgery on one quadrant of my mouth. He was very good at these procedures but they are very invasive with significant gum recession and loss of healthy tissue. I really wanted an alternative to flap surgery for the other 3 quadrants. After some searching, I came across LANAP and the Ueno Center. On my initial visit, Dr. Bui and the Ueno staff were very friendly, professional and reassuring. Dr. Bui was confident LANAP would provide me with a good result. However, my other periodontist was skeptical, but to his credit did not dissuade me from trying it. The procedure itself was a piece of cake. I experienced virtually no discomfort or pain. One year after the procedure, I was examined by my initial periodontist and he conceded that Dr. Bui had done an excellent job and the results were extremely impressive and I would not need any further procedures. My pockets have all been reduced to 2’s & 3’s except for a couple of 4’s. And even those may eventually become 3’s as apparently regeneration with LANAP can occur for 30+ months (it’s only been 15 months for me). And this is after initial exams measured pockets of 8 and 9, while the Ueno exam measured several 6’s. This honestly seems too good to be true and I would STRONGLY urge anyone with gum disease requiring pocket reductions to consider Dr. Bui and LANAP first! I also must give a special shout out to Susan Quan as she is so friendly and knowledgeable and my teeth have NEVER felt more clean than after a visit with her. Thank you so much Dr. Bui and Susan!!
