Laser Gum Disease Therapy (LANAP)

The LANAP laser treatment provides an innovative approach to addressing gum disease. This FDA-cleared, less invasive method employs the PerioLase® MVP-7™ laser to eliminate diseased tissue while encouraging the growth of healthy tissue, forming a shield against future bacterial spread. By precisely targeting inflammation, LANAP preserves surrounding healthy tissue, enabling natural recovery from persistent infections without the need for scalpels or stitches.

A Softer Approach to Healing Infected Soft Tissue

If you’re dealing with gum disease, you’re among the 42% of adults over 30 that have some form of gum disease. Gum disease can cause discomfort, tooth loss, and even impact your general well-being. Infected soft tissue and bacteria often appear darker than the vibrant, healthy pink of unaffected gums, signaling the presence of periodontal disease.

Our highly qualified dentist, Dr. Amir Jamsheed, is an expert in identifying and managing all phases of gum disease, providing thorough periodontitis care, including the advanced Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure (LANAP®).

Dr. Amir specialized in treating gum disease, caring, gentle skill, using our state-of-the-art LANAP machine.

The Difference Between Traditional Surgery and LANAP

Traditional surgery requires the use of scalpels to cut into the gums and perform the necessary procedure. Once the treatment is complete, stitches are used to seal the wound, stop bleeding, and prevent infection.

Recovery times with traditional gum surgery varies from patient to patient, but this is where the biggest difference between traditional surgery and LANAP can be measured.

LANAP is far more precise and gentle than a scalpel, thus the trauma to the gums is lessened. The surgery can be performed with far less damage to surrounding tissues. Less damage = less healing required.

LANAP has truly revolutionized modern dental care and allows us to perform surgery with far less pain and faster recovery times – every time.

Benefits of LANAP Treatment

  • Reduces pain, bleeding, swelling, and root sensitivity
  • Eliminates need for scalpels or stiches (sutures)
  • Prevents damage to healthy gum tissue
  • Delivers quicker recovery time
  • Disinfects and decreases pocket depth

Are You A Candidate for LANAP?

You may be an ideal candidate for LANAP if you have moderate to severe periodontal disease, have had prior treatment, have consistent or recurring pockets, have visible signs of inflammation, or have other gum disease symptoms.
