LANAP Procedure
A laser-assisted procedure that eliminates diseased gum tissue and stimulates regeneration without cutting or sutures.
What is it
A laser-assisted surgical protocol specifically designed to treat advanced periodontitis by targeting and removing only diseased gum tissue while stimulating bone regeneration, without any cutting or stitches.
How it works
A calibrated laser is inserted between the tooth and gum to remove diseased tissue and bacteria while leaving healthy tissue intact, then repositioned to seal the pocket and stimulate bone and gum regeneration.
How it helps
Treats advanced gum disease with less discomfort and faster healing than traditional surgery, while stimulating the regeneration of bone and gum tissue lost to infection.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who might consider this treatment?
Patients with moderate to advanced periodontitis who are looking for a less invasive surgical option that promotes bone regeneration without cutting or sutures.
What is the typical experience?
The laser treatment is completed in one or two appointments with no cutting or sutures. Mild soreness and some swelling are expected for a few days, and patients typically notice improved gum health within a few weeks.
How long does it usually take?
The laser treatment is completed in one or two appointments of about two hours each. Gums begin feeling and looking healthier within a few weeks as healing progresses.
Is there anything to keep in mind?
LANAP treats disease but does not eliminate the need for consistent maintenance. Regular periodontal follow-up visits are essential after treatment to keep bacterial levels low and protect the regenerated tissue.
What should I know about recovery after?
Mild soreness and some swelling are expected for a few days. Gums begin looking and feeling healthier within a few weeks as healing progresses following the laser treatment.
