What is Laser Periodontal Therapy?

Laser Periodontal Therapy is also known as Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure, or LANAP®. It is the only FDA approved treatment for eliminating gum disease, or periodontitis. The wonderful feature of this treatment is that there is no pain, no cutting and no sewing.

How it Works

The laser will remove only the infected gum tissue lining the pocket wall. Any tartar is removed from the root surface. Then the laser disinfects the area, selectively killing all bacteria and allowing new bone to grow. The small, sterile wound is sealed to the root surface with a dense fibrin clot.

Why is it better?

With conventional methods not all bacteria can be eliminated, so recurrence is a common problem. Laser therapy stops the infection and eradicates all bacteria leaving the gum pocket disease free. Tissue has time to heal and sometimes can even reattach to normal depth. As there is no need for incisions or stitches there is no bleeding or swelling. The patient endures little to no discomfort during the procedure and a very short recovery time.
