How long after LANAP can I have gum surgery?

June 26, 2023
Asked By:CactusJ in Scotland, United Kingdom

A dentist I contacted in Turkey suggested that I can have Pinhole/ GTR surgery, 2 weeks after LANAP. I am sceptical as from my research bone keeps growing for months to a year after LANAP? Can I have Pinhole surgery before the bone growth stabilises? But I do want to also fix my receding gum line asap, so please advise on what's the soonest possible timeline to have both?
