What is LANAP® Laser Gum Surgery?

Dealing with periodontal disease can be a source of worry, but modern dentistry offers gentle and effective solutions. LANAP®, or Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure, is a leading-edge treatment that addresses gum disease without the need for traditional surgery. Using a highly specific dental laser, this procedure removes diseased tissue and bacteria while promoting the natural regeneration of your gums and bone, offering a less invasive path to renewed oral health.

Why Choose LANAP®?

The LANAP® protocol is the only FDA-cleared laser treatment proven to regenerate the tissues and bone lost to gum disease. For our patients, this means a trusted alternative that offers a more comfortable experience, faster healing, and excellent, lasting outcomes. It is a testament to how technology can be used with a gentle touch to achieve remarkable results.

The key benefits of choosing LANAP® include:

A Minimally Invasive Approach: The procedure requires no scalpels or sutures, preserving your healthy gum tissue
Stimulates Natural Healing: It is scientifically proven to encourage new bone growth and the reattachment of gum tissue to the teeth
Greater Comfort and Faster Recovery: With less discomfort and swelling, most patients can return to their normal activities within 24 hours

Conditions Treated with LANAP®

The LANAP® procedure is a versatile and powerful tool for treating various stages of periodontal disease. It is designed to restore health for patients who are experiencing:

Moderate to Severe Gum Disease: The laser effectively removes bacteria from deep gum pockets, reducing inflammation and infection
Bone Loss Around Teeth: By stimulating natural bone regeneration, LANAP® can help stabilize and secure teeth that have become loose due to periodontitis
Gum Inflammation and Bleeding: The treatment improves overall gum health, resolving the bleeding, redness, and sensitivity associated with gum disease

The LANAP® Procedure: What to Expect

We want you to feel prepared and at ease, so we take the time to walk you through every step of the process.

Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation where we perform a thorough examination, including digital x-rays and measuring the depth of your gum pockets. This allows us to determine the extent of your gum disease and confirm if LANAP® is the right choice for you.

During the treatment, we ensure your complete comfort with a local anesthetic. The specialized PerioLase® MVP-7™ laser is then used to precisely target and remove infected tissue and bacteria from the gum pockets. Afterward, ultrasonic tools clean the root surfaces of your teeth. The procedure is finished by using the laser to carefully seal the pockets and create an ideal environment for healing and regeneration.

Who is a Candidate for LANAP®?

LANAP® is an excellent treatment option for most patients with moderate to severe gum disease. It is especially beneficial for those who have experienced bone loss, struggle with persistent gum inflammation, or simply prefer a less invasive approach to their care. During your personal consultation, we will evaluate your oral health and discuss whether LANAP® can help you achieve your health goals.
