LANAP® Laser Gum Therapy Overview
LANAP stands for Laser‑Assisted New Attachment Procedure. It is a state‑of‑the‑art, minimally invasive laser treatment for moderate to advanced gum disease. Using the PerioLase® MVP‑7 laser, LANAP selectively targets diseased tissue and harmful bacteria while preserving healthy gum structure.
What is LANAP?
LANAP® (Laser‑Assisted New Attachment Procedure) is a minimally invasive laser treatment designed to eliminate gum infection and regenerate healthy tissue — without scalpels, sutures, or cutting. Using the PerioLase® MVP‑7 dental laser, the procedure targets and removes diseased tissue and harmful bacteria while preserving healthy gum structure.
LANAP is the only FDA‑cleared protocol proven to promote true periodontal regeneration, including new bone growth and reattachment of gum tissue.
How LANAP Works
- Laser bacterial removal – The PerioLase laser selectively removes infected tissue and kills bacteria deep within periodontal pockets.
- Deep cleaning – The roots are thoroughly cleaned to remove tartar and calculus.
- Laser sealing – The laser creates a stable, protective blood clot that seals the area and supports natural healing.
- Regeneration – Over time, the body rebuilds healthy gum attachment and supporting bone.
Benefits of LANAP
- No cutting or sutures
- Faster healing and minimal discomfort
- Less bleeding and inflammation
- Preserves healthy gum tissue
- Promotes bone regeneration
- Ideal for moderate to severe gum disease
