LANAP® stands for Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure—a groundbreaking, FDA-cleared laser treatment used to treat moderate to severe gum disease (periodontitis). Unlike traditional gum surgery, which involves cutting the gums with a scalpel and placing stitches, LANAP uses a gentle dental laser to remove infected tissue and bacteria without harming healthy gum structure.

The procedure is performed using the PerioLase® MVP-7™ laser, which targets diseased pockets around the teeth. This laser energy helps sterilize the area, reduce inflammation, and stimulate the body’s natural ability to regenerate bone and soft tissue. As a result, LANAP not only stops the progression of gum disease—it can actually reverse its damaging effects by promoting reattachment of the gums to the teeth.

LANAP is minimally invasive, meaning most patients experience very little discomfort and can return to their normal routine within 24 hours. No sutures, no scalpels, and no long recovery time—just effective, modern treatment.

LANAP is ideal for patients who want to save their natural teeth, avoid gum recession, and improve their overall oral and systemic health. It’s a safe, proven alternative to traditional surgery—and it’s changing the way gum disease is treated.
