The most advanced laser periodontal therapy available — FDA-cleared, clinically proven to regenerate attachment, and performed without a single cut or suture.
Book a Free ConsultationLANAP — Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure — is an FDA-cleared, patented protocol for treating moderate to severe periodontal disease using a specific wavelength of laser energy (PerioLase MVP-7). Unlike traditional gum surgery, LANAP does not require cutting healthy tissue or placing sutures.
The laser selectively targets and vaporizes diseased, bacteria-laden tissue while leaving healthy tissue completely intact. Remarkably, LANAP is the only periodontal treatment with human histological evidence of true periodontal regeneration — meaning it can stimulate the regrowth of the bone, cementum, and ligament lost to disease.
LANAP is a precise, four-step protocol completed in two appointments, each treating half the mouth.
The PerioLase fiber tip is gently inserted into the periodontal pocket. The laser energy selectively destroys diseased tissue and kills the bacteria causing infection while leaving healthy tissue untouched.
Ultrasonic instruments are used to thoroughly remove calculus (tartar) deposits from the root surfaces below the gumline — the hardened bacterial deposits that drive ongoing infection.
The laser is passed through the pocket a second time at a different setting, creating a stable fibrin blood clot that seals the pocket from bacteria and initiates the healing response.
The sealed clot is protected from disruption, and the laser-stimulated environment promotes the regeneration of new cementum, bone, and periodontal ligament — a process unique to LANAP.
Traditional osseous surgery requires cutting the gums back, removing tissue, and placing sutures. LANAP achieves comparable — and often superior — outcomes with far less trauma.
The laser fiber is slipped into the pocket without any incisions. Healthy tissue is never disturbed or removed.
Because no tissue is cut, there are no sutures required. Post-procedure comfort is significantly improved.
Most patients return to normal activity within 24 hours and experience minimal post-procedure discomfort.
LANAP is the only periodontal procedure with documented histological evidence of true bone regeneration around treated teeth.
No diet restrictions after the first day. No suture removal appointments. No prolonged recovery period.
LANAP is the only laser periodontal protocol cleared by the FDA specifically for the treatment of periodontitis.
LANAP is most appropriate for patients with moderate to severe periodontal disease — stage II through stage IV periodontitis — who have significant pocket depths, bone loss, and/or bleeding on probing that has not responded to conventional scaling and root planing.
It is also an excellent option for patients who are medically compromised, on blood thinners, or simply want to avoid the bleeding and recovery of traditional surgery. LANAP has a strong safety profile and can be performed on most medically complex patients.
LANAP delivers the clinical results of traditional gum surgery with a fraction of the discomfort, recovery time, and anxiety. Book a periodontal evaluation to find out if you're a candidate.
