Frequently Asked Questions About LANAP®

What is LANAP®?

LANAP® stands for Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure. It is a laser gum treatment used to treat periodontal disease without traditional cutting or sutures.

Most patients experience less discomfort compared with traditional periodontal surgery. Local anesthesia is used, and many patients report reduced swelling and bleeding.

Traditional gum surgery often uses scalpels and sutures. LANAP uses laser energy to target diseased tissue and bacteria while preserving healthy gum tissue.

In selected cases, reducing infection and supporting tissue healing may help improve the long-term stability of teeth affected by periodontal disease.

LANAP supports the body’s regenerative healing response and may help stimulate bone and tissue regeneration around teeth affected by periodontal disease.

Patients with moderate to severe gum disease, bleeding gums, deep pockets, or bone loss may be candidates after a periodontal evaluation.

Treatment time depends on how many areas need therapy and the severity of gum disease. Dr. Lari will explain expected timing during consultation.

Downtime is usually shorter than traditional gum surgery. Many patients resume normal activities quickly, depending on the extent of treatment.

LANAP generally does not require traditional sutures because it uses laser energy instead of conventional cutting and flap surgery.

Many PPO dental insurance plans may help cover periodontal treatment. Our office works with patients to help maximize available benefits.
