LANAP Laser Gum Treatment: The Modern Approach to Fighting Gum Disease

LANAP® Laser Treatment: Advanced Gum Disease Therapy at Perfect Smiles California


Gum disease affects nearly half of adults in the United States and can lead to severe oral health issues if left untreated. At Perfect Smiles California, we offer an innovative solution for treating gum disease: LANAP ® (Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure). This advanced laser treatment is minimally invasive, helps preserve natural teeth, and promotes quicker healing.


What Is LANAP®?


LANAP is a revolutionary laser-based procedure designed to treat moderate to severe gum disease without the need for traditional surgical methods. Unlike conventional gum surgery, which often requires cutting and suturing, LANAP uses a specialized PerioLase® MVP-7 laser to target and remove diseased gum tissue while leaving healthy tissue intact. This precise technique reduces pain, speeds up recovery, and enhances overall results.


The Benefits of LANAP® Laser Gum Treatment


LANAP offers several benefits that make it a preferred choice for patients seeking effective, comfortable, and minimally invasive gum disease treatment:

  • Minimally Invasive:  The LANAP procedure doesn’t involve cutting or suturing, making it less painful and reducing the risk of complications.
  • Preserves Healthy Tissue:  The laser targets only diseased tissue, preserving as much healthy gum tissue as possible.
  • Faster Healing:  With less trauma to the gums, LANAP promotes quicker healing and allows you to return to your daily activities sooner.
  • Reduces Tooth Loss: By treating the infection and promoting tissue regeneration, LANAP can help save teeth that might otherwise need to be extracted due to gum disease.
  • Improved Bone Regeneration: LANAP stimulates the regeneration of bone around teeth, helping to restore and strengthen the structure of your mouth.

How Does LANAP® Work?


The LANAP procedure is a highly effective and straightforward process designed to treat periodontal disease while minimizing discomfort. Here’s what you can expect during your LANAP treatment at Perfect Smiles California:

  1. Evaluation and Diagnosis: During your initial consultation, we will conduct a thorough examination of your gums using digital X-rays and periodontal measurements. This helps us determine the extent of gum disease and develop a tailored treatment plan.
  2. Laser Treatment: Using the PerioLase® MVP-7 laser, we will gently remove the infected tissue from the periodontal pockets while preserving healthy tissue. The laser energy also eliminates bacteria and promotes the formation of blood clots, which aid in the healing process.
  3. Tissue Reattachment: The laser helps stimulate tissue reattachment, allowing the gums to naturally heal and reattach to the surface of your teeth without the need for sutures.
  4. Post-Treatment Care: After the procedure, we’ll provide detailed instructions to ensure a smooth recovery. Most patients experience minimal discomfort and can resume their normal activities within a day or two.

Who Is a Candidate for LANAP®?


LANAP is an excellent treatment option for patients with moderate to severe gum disease, especially those looking for a less invasive alternative to traditional gum surgery. You may be a good candidate for LANAP if you:

  • Have been diagnosed with periodontal (gum) disease
  • Experience symptoms such as bleeding gums, gum recession, or loose teeth
  • Want to avoid traditional gum surgery and prefer a minimally invasive option
  • Are looking to preserve your natural teeth and promote gum and bone regeneration
