LANAP (Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure) is the FDA-cleared, minimally invasive alternative to traditional gum surgery. Using a precise laser, we eliminate diseased tissue and bacteria from the gum pockets — with no cutting, no sutures, and a dramatically faster recovery than conventional surgery.
What's Included
- PerioLase MVP-7 Laser — The only laser FDA-cleared for true periodontal regeneration.
- Selective Treatment — The laser targets only diseased tissue, leaving healthy gum intact.
- No Cutting or Sutures — No scalpel means minimal post-operative discomfort and bleeding.
- Bone Regeneration — LANAP is the only gum disease treatment proven to stimulate new bone growth.
- Same-Day Treatment — The full-mouth procedure is typically completed in two 2-hour appointments.
- Rapid Recovery — Most patients return to normal activities within 24 hours.
- Long-Lasting Results — Clinical studies show LANAP results hold up over 10+ years.
Common Questions
Is LANAP painful?
LANAP is significantly less uncomfortable than traditional gum surgery. Most patients report only mild soreness in the days following treatment.
Who is a candidate for LANAP?
Patients with moderate to severe gum disease who have not responded adequately to deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) are typically the best LANAP candidates.
Is LANAP covered by insurance?
Coverage varies by plan. We'll verify your benefits before treatment and provide a detailed cost estimate. Many insurance companies cover LANAP as a surgical gum procedure.
