What Is LANAP®?
LANAP®, which stands for Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure, is a FDA-cleared laser gum treatment that targets periodontal disease without the need for scalpels or stitches. Unlike traditional gum surgery, LANAP® uses a tiny laser fiber the width of three human hairs to remove infected gum tissue and harmful bacteria while preserving healthy gum tissue and stimulating regeneration.
This advanced laser dentistry technique is an effective alternative to traditional surgery, ideal for treating moderate to severe gum disease with less pain, quicker recovery, and natural healing.

How LANAP® Works: The Laser Gum Surgery Process
Step-by-Step LANAP® Procedure
The LANAP® protocol is the world’s first and only FDA-cleared laser treatment for periodontal disease. Here’s how it works:
1. Diagnosis and Digital Imaging
We begin with advanced diagnostics and digital X-rays to assess the severity of your gum disease and determine your LANAP treatment plan.
2. Laser Treatment Begins
Using the PerioLase® MVP-7™ dental laser, we insert a laser fiber into the gum pockets. The laser energy removes diseased tissue and kills bacteria—without hurting or removing any healthy tissue.
3. Cleaning and Regeneration
Ultrasonic scalers remove remaining debris and tartar. The laser creates a stable clot, sealing the pocket and triggering the body’s ability to regenerate bone and tissues.
4. Healing Naturally
No sutures are needed. Your gums begin to heal naturally, and the pocket depth is reduced—slowing or stopping attachment loss.
Benefits of LANAP® vs. Traditional Gum Surgery
When comparing LANAP® laser gum surgery to traditional gum surgery, the differences are significant:
- Minimally invasive – No scalpel, no sutures, no cutting.
- Less pain and discomfort post-treatment.
- Preserves healthy tissue – the laser targets only diseased gum tissue.
- Regenerates bone and gum tissue.
- Faster recovery compared to traditional surgery.
- Ideal for patients with moderate to severe periodontitis.
LANAP® offers a more comfortable treatment option with better long-term outcomes—making it one of the most successful protocols in treating gum disease today.
