What Is LANAPĀ®?
LANAP is an FDA-approved laser therapy that carefully removes diseased tissue and harmful bacteria without cutting or suturing. The laser stimulates your bodyās natural ability to regenerate gum attachment and support overall gum health. Itās a safe and effective way to control gum disease while protecting your natural teeth.
- Advanced technology: Uses specialized laser energy to clean infected areas with precise accuracy
- Precise targeting: Removes diseased tissue while leaving healthy gum structure intact for quicker recovery
- Regenerative healing: Activates the bodyās natural repair process to rebuild gum attachment
- Comfortable care: Many patients describe the experience as similar to a deep cleaning with minimal tenderness afterward
What Makes LANAPĀ® Different From Traditional Surgery?
Unlike conventional gum surgery, LANAP eliminates the need for scalpels, sutures, and long healing times. It gently disinfects the gums while minimizing swelling and bleeding. Most patients find they can return to work or normal routines the next day with little disruption.
- No cutting or stitching: Laser energy replaces invasive surgical instruments
- Less discomfort: Helps reduce inflammation and tenderness throughout healing
- Quick recovery: Many patients resume regular activities within 24 hours of treatment
- Sustainable results: Promotes lasting gum health and reduces the likelihood of reinfection
How Laser Technology Targets Gum Disease
LANAP uses an ultra-focused laser beam to reach deep into gum pockets and remove bacteria responsible for infection. The laser differentiates between diseased and healthy tissue, vaporizing only the damaged areas. This targeted precision supports cleaner results and helps prevent the disease from progressing.
- Selective precision: Targets infected areas while preserving healthy gum tissue for better healing
- Deep cleaning: Reaches below the gumline to remove bacteria missed by standard cleanings
- Reduced bleeding: Seals blood vessels during treatment, keeping the area clean and comfortable
- Long-term protection: Encourages tighter gum reattachment to reduce future bacterial buildup
The Benefits Of Minimally Invasive Treatment
LANAP provides a more comfortable and effective alternative to traditional periodontal surgery. It helps preserve the natural structure of your teeth and gums, which contributes to better long-term oral stability. Many patients appreciate the confidence of maintaining their natural smile with less downtime.
- Comfort-focused care: Gentle treatment reduces swelling and post-procedure discomfort
- Tooth preservation: Strengthens gum support to help prevent tooth loss caused by gum disease
- Improved oral health: Restores balance between gums and teeth for long-lasting protection
- Renewed confidence: A healthier smile makes it easier to eat, speak, and enjoy everyday life comfortably
What To Expect During The Healing Process
Healing with LANAP begins quickly and continues to improve over several weeks. As your gums recover, they tighten naturally around the teeth, providing stronger support and improved stability. Your dental care provider will schedule follow-up visits to monitor progress and ensure your gums heal as expected.
- Faster recovery: Most patients can return to normal activities within a day of treatment
- Gradual improvement: Gums continue to strengthen and reattach as healing progresses
- Personalized care: Follow-up visits help track your recovery and maintain your results
- Sustained health: Consistent home care and regular checkups help keep gums strong and disease-free
