Do you suffer from gum disease and worry about losing teeth? The LANAP protocol is a new procedure that can help save your teeth! It is a tissue-preserving, regenerative, and bone-building treatment that is performed with the PerioLase® MVP-7™ laser, the only laser approved for this procedure. The laser uses a specific wavelength to target and destroy the dark-colored bacteria that cause gum disease, such as p. gingivalis. Studies have shown that it can kill up to 99.9% of disease-producing germs, making it highly effective.
During the LANAP procedure, your dentist will insert a fiber that is as thin as three human hairs into the infected pocket to eliminate germs and infected tissue. Instead of using traditional hand tools, calculus is removed using an ultrasonic root cleaner. Then, the laser energy is used to warm the stem cell-containing blood in the pocket, which creates a seal that protects against further infections. This seal allows the gums to heal and regenerate the previously lost structures such as ligaments and bone around the tooth.
The best part of the LANAP protocol is that it is a minimally invasive procedure that preserves the healthy gum tissue and does not reduce the gum tissue intentionally. Plus, it stimulates stem cells to form new connective tissues, collagen, and bone that were lost to gum disease. This means that your body’s natural healing process can help restore your oral health, leaving you with healthy, strong teeth. If you’re experiencing gum disease symptoms or have been diagnosed with gum disease, ask your dentist about the LANAP protocol. It is a safe, effective, and less painful way to treat gum disease and can help you keep your teeth for a lifetime. Don’t wait until it’s too late, schedule an appointment with your dentist today and get started on the road to a healthy smile!

Laser Gum Therapy, also known as LANAP (Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure), is a minimally invasive laser treatment used to treat periodontal disease. It uses a laser to remove bacteria and infected tissue from the gums and promote the growth of healthy gum tissue.
Unlike traditional gum surgery, Laser Gum Therapy is minimally invasive and does not require the use of scalpels or sutures. It is also less painful and has a shorter recovery time than traditional gum surgery.
Most patients report little to no discomfort during or after Laser Gum Therapy. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so you will not feel any pain.
The procedure typically takes between two and four hours, depending on the extent of the periodontal disease being treated.
Most dental insurance plans cover Laser Gum Therapy, but it is always best to check with your insurance provider to confirm coverage.
You will be given specific aftercare instructions by your dentist, but generally, you will need to avoid hard, crunchy, or spicy foods for a few days following the procedure. You may also be prescribed antibiotics and pain medication.
Laser Gum Therapy is effective for treating most types of gum disease, but it may not be appropriate for all cases. Your dentist will evaluate your individual case and recommend the best treatment option for you.
You may start to notice improvements in your gum health within a few days of the procedure, but it can take several months to fully heal and see the full benefits of the treatment.
As with any medical procedure, there are some risks associated with Laser Gum Therapy. However, these risks are generally minimal and can be discussed with your dentist.
Laser Gum Therapy is a safe and effective treatment for most patients with periodontal disease. Your dentist will evaluate your individual case and recommend the best treatment option for you.
