LANAP Laser Gum Treatment

FDA-cleared laser therapy that regenerates bone and gum tissue — with less pain, less bleeding, and faster healing than traditional surgery.

Laser Assisted Regeneration

The Only Proven Method for True Periodontal Regeneration

LANAP (Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure) is the only scientifically proven methodology that achieves true periodontal regeneration — meaning it actually regrows bone and reattaches gum tissue to your teeth. Traditional gum surgery cuts and sutures. LANAP uses the FDA-cleared PerioLase MVP-7 laser to selectively remove diseased tissue while preserving healthy tissue.

The result: less pain, less bleeding, less swelling, faster healing, and outcomes that traditional surgery simply cannot match.

LANAP Benefits

Why Patients Choose LANAP

Less Pain

No scalpel, no cutting, no sutures. The laser is precise and gentle, and most patients report minimal discomfort during and after the procedure.

Less Bleeding & Swelling

The laser cauterizes as it works, resulting in significantly less bleeding and swelling compared to traditional gum surgery.

Faster Healing

Most patients return to normal activities within 24 hours. Traditional surgery often requires weeks of recovery.

True Regeneration

LANAP is the only FDA-cleared laser procedure proven to regenerate bone and create new connective tissue attachment to teeth.

Preserves Gum Tissue

Unlike traditional surgery that cuts away gum tissue (causing recession), LANAP preserves your gum line and natural appearance.

Lower Infection Risk

The laser sterilizes the treatment area, dramatically reducing the risk of post-procedure infection.

The Technology

PerioLase MVP-7 Laser

LANAP is performed exclusively with the PerioLase MVP-7 — a free-running, variable pulsed Nd:YAG laser specifically designed for periodontal treatment. This is not a generic dental laser. The MVP-7 is the only laser with FDA clearance for true periodontal regeneration (LANAP protocol).

The laser's specific wavelength targets diseased tissue and bacteria while leaving healthy gum tissue, bone, and tooth structure completely unharmed. It also stimulates the body's natural healing response, forming a stable fibrin clot that promotes bone regeneration.

LANAP vs. Traditional Gum Surgery

  • No scalpel, no sutures — laser-only procedure
  • Minimal recession — preserves your natural gum line
  • 24-hour recovery — vs. weeks for traditional surgery
  • Bone regeneration — traditional surgery cannot regrow bone
  • Less sensitivity — preserved gum tissue means less root exposure
  • 95% implant reintegration — for failing implants treated with the related LAPIP protocol

If you have periodontal disease, LANAP may help you avoid the discomfort and lengthy recovery of traditional surgery while achieving better long-term outcomes.
