LANAP is an FDA-cleared, minimally invasive laser treatment for moderate to severe gum disease that uses a specialized laser to remove diseased tissue while promoting regeneration of healthy bone and gum attachment. Unlike traditional gum surgery, LANAP preserves healthy tissue and focuses on regeneration—actually regrowing lost bone and periodontal ligament—rather than simply removing diseased areas.
The laser eliminates bacteria and infected tissue with precision, seals the periodontal pocket, and stimulates the body's natural healing and regeneration processes. Patients experience less post-operative pain and swelling, faster recovery, and can return to normal eating and activities more quickly than with traditional surgery. Because LANAP aims to regenerate lost support rather than just treat the disease, it offers superior long-term outcomes for saving and stabilizing your natural teeth and implants.
