What Is LANAP?

LANAP, or Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure, is an FDA-cleared laser protocol designed to treat moderate to severe periodontal disease without cutting or suturing. Dr. Rodriguez uses the PerioLase MVP-7 laser to target and destroy bacteria and diseased tissue deep within periodontal pockets while leaving healthy surrounding tissue completely intact. The laser simultaneously stimulates the regeneration of bone and connective tissue, encouraging your gums to reattach to the tooth surface and rebuild the foundation that gum disease has damaged.

Benefits of LANAP

1.

Minimally Invasive

LANAP eliminates the need for traditional surgical incisions in most cases, resulting in significantly less post-procedure discomfort and a faster return to normal activity.

2.

Faster Recovery

Unlike conventional surgery, the LANAP protocol actively stimulates the regrowth of bone and connective tissue lost to periodontal disease.

3.

Reduced Gum Recession Risk

 Because no tissue is cut away, LANAP helps maintain your natural gumline and reduces the recession that can follow traditional periodontal surgery.

4.

Elimination of Bacteria

The PerioLase laser selectively targets diseased tissue and harmful bacteria while preserving the healthy gum tissue surrounding each pocket.

LANAP is the only laser gum disease treatment backed by scientific research demonstrating true periodontal regeneration of bone, cementum, and connective tissue.

What to Expect During Laser Periodontal Therapy

Comprehensive Evaluation

Dr. Rodriguez examines your gums, measures periodontal pocket depths, and reviews 3D imaging to assess the extent of disease and confirm LANAP is the right treatment approach for your needs.

Bacteria Elimination

The PerioLase laser is gently guided into each periodontal pocket to destroy harmful bacteria, remove diseased tissue, and begin stimulating the body’s natural healing response.

Calculus Removal

Ultrasonic instruments are used to loosen and remove tartar deposits from root surfaces before the laser makes a final pass to seal the pocket and promote clot formation.

Healing and Follow-Up

Dr. Rodriguez provides detailed aftercare instructions and schedules follow-up visits to monitor regeneration, track pocket depth reduction, and ensure optimal long-term results.

LANAP FAQs

If you have questions about LANAP treatment, we’ve got answers.

How is LANAP different from traditional gum surgery?

Traditional periodontal surgery involves cutting and suturing gum tissue to access and clean the infected area. LANAP uses a laser to achieve the same goals without incisions, resulting in less discomfort, reduced recession risk, and a significantly faster recovery for most patients.

How many LANAP sessions are needed?

 Most patients complete treatment in two appointments, typically scheduled one to two weeks apart, with each session addressing one side of the mouth. Dr. Rodriguez will outline your specific treatment plan based on the extent of your periodontal disease.

How much does LANAP cost?

Cost depends on the severity of your gum disease and the number of areas requiring treatment. We provide a detailed, transparent estimate at your consultation and are happy to discuss financing options that fit your budget.

Does insurance cover LANAP?

Many dental insurance plans cover LANAP as a periodontal treatment, though benefits vary by policy. Our team will verify your coverage before treatment begins and help you understand all available options for making care accessible.
