What Is LANAP Laser Gum Surgery?

LANAP is an advanced laser-assisted procedure treating periodontal (gum) disease by precisely targeting and removing diseased tissue while preserving healthy gums. Unlike traditional gum surgery, which involves cutting and sutures, LANAP uses a specialized PerioLase® MVP-7 laser to remove bacteria and infected tissue while stimulating gum regeneration. LANAP offers significantly less pain than traditional gum surgery with minimal downtime. Patients experience faster recovery and less bleeding compared to conventional treatments. Most patients return to normal activities within 24 hours, compared to the weeks of recovery often needed after traditional gum surgery.

Key Benefits of LANAP Treatment:

  • Minimally Invasive – No incisions, no stitches.

  • Faster Healing – Patients recover more quickly than with traditional surgery.

  • Reduced Pain and Discomfort – Less trauma to the gums means minimal post-procedure discomfort.

  • Preserves Natural Teeth – LANAP can help save teeth that might otherwise require extraction.

  • Safe for Patients with Health Conditions – Ideal for patients with diabetes, hemophilia, or those on blood thinners.

How LANAP Works: Step-by-Step Treatment Process

LANAP therapy is a two-visit process promoting gum regeneration and attachment. Here’s what to expect:

1. Initial Consultation & Pre-Treatment Evaluation

  • Dr. Reich will perform a comprehensive periodontal exam.
  • Digital X-rays and clinical measurements will assess gum health and bone support.
  • A customized LANAP treatment plan will be developed based on your specific needs.

2. LANAP Procedure (First Visit)

  • A local anesthetic is applied to ensure comfort.
  • The PerioLase® laser precisely removes infected tissue and bacteria.
  • The laser stimulates the body’s natural healing response, promoting gum reattachment and bone regeneration.
  • There is no cutting or stitches, reducing post-surgical discomfort.

3. Post-Procedure Healing & Follow-Up (First Week After Treatment)

  • Patients typically experience minimal discomfort.
  • A soft-food diet is recommended for the first few days.

Follow-up visits ensure proper healing and gum reattachment.
