LANAP laser treatment for gum disease

Gum disease isn’t widely talked about but can have a big impact on your life. Patients suffering from gum disease often feel less confident and fear losing their teeth. Our office is certified in a unique laser gum disease treatment, the LANAP protocol.

The LANAP® protocol uses a special dental laser, the PerioLase® MVP-7™. A tiny fiber about the width of three human hairs in inserted between the gum tissue and teeth, where it targets and destroys bacteria deep within the pockets of the gums without affecting healthy tissue.

The LAPIP Protocol

The LAPIP protocol is a no-risk first line Laser Gum Disease treatment that preserves other treatment options. Controlling peri-implant disease makes it possible to save and protect your implant investment

• Allows removal of only diseased tissue without removing any healthy tissue
• Eliminates the infection
• Helps maintain the height of the tissue around implants
• Minimizes pain and discomfort to patient
• Closes the periodontal pocket wound to allow healing to take place
