Hope for Hopeless Teeth™

The LANAP® protocol is the world’s first and ONLY dental laser procedure FDA cleared and scientifically proven to regenerate bone and tissues lost to gum disease, helping to save your natural teeth. Compared with traditional surgery, the “no cut, no sew, no fear” LANAP® Protocol is more comfortable with faster recovery and less post-op sensitivity, swelling and gum recession.

Are you a candidate for the LANAP® Protocol?

Individuals with moderate to severe gum disease can benefit from the LANAP® Protocol, which is an excellent treatment option especially for patients who want an alternative to traditional “cut and sew” surgery or who are taking certain medications such as blood thinners. With the LANAP® Protocol, there is no need to discontinue taking any medications.

LANAP® Protocol explained

The LANAP® treatment is one of the most successful protocols in treating gum disease because it can target the source of the inflammation without hurting or removing any healthy gum tissue, slow or stop attachment loss and decrease pocket depth, and allowing the body to recover from the chronic infection without the need for scalpel or sutures.

The FDA-cleared laser treatment offers a more comfortable treatment experience with faster recovery compared with conventional surgery. The LANAP® Protocol uses the innovative PerioLase MVP-7, a free-running, variable pulsed Nd:YAG laser. It gently and effectively clears away the bacteria causing gum disease with laser energy. A laser fiber the width of three human hairs targets disease, but leaves healthy tissue intact.

During treatment

The patented LANAP® Protocol is a full-mouth procedure usually completed in two two-hour visits. During the procedure, a state-of-the-art dental laser with fiber the width of three human hairs is used to gently remove harmful germs and diseased tissue while keeping healthy tissue intact.

The first few days

It is common to quickly return to work or other activities after the LANAP® Protocol. Prescription pain medications are not necessary after the procedure, although some patients sometimes experience mild aches or soreness of the treated areas for the first couple of days.
