Laser Assisted Periodontal Therapy (LANAP)
For many people, gum disease feels like a losing battle. You brush and floss, but the bleeding continues. Your gums recede. Your teeth may even feel loose. The idea of surgery—stitches, scalpels, and long recovery times—can feel overwhelming.
At Precision Periodontal and Implant Center, there’s another option. LANAP (Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure) uses laser technology to target gum disease with precision, promoting healing while minimizing discomfort. It’s a treatment designed for patients who want results without the fear that often comes with traditional surgery.

Why Gum Disease Needs More Than a Cleaning
When bacteria settle below the gumline, they create deep pockets that brushing, flossing, and even regular cleanings can’t fix. Left untreated, gum disease can lead to tooth loss, bone damage, and even health complications elsewhere in the body.
LANAP is specifically designed to reach these hidden areas, remove bacteria, and give your gums a chance to reattach naturally.
How LANAP Works
Instead of cutting and suturing, LANAP uses a specialized dental laser that:
Targets bacteria with precision
without harming healthy tissue.
Stimulates the gums and bone
to encourage natural regeneration.
Reduces pocket depth
so gums can fit snugly around teeth again.
Minimizes bleeding, swelling, and discomfort
compared to traditional surgery.
The result? A cleaner, healthier foundation for your smile with less downtime.
Comfort Without Compromise
Many patients are surprised by how easy LANAP feels. Local anesthesia keeps you comfortable, and the laser itself is far less invasive than a scalpel. Because there are no stitches, recovery is faster and more comfortable, making it easier to get back to daily life.
What Patients Notice After LANAP
Less bleeding and inflammation
during brushing and flossing
Gums that feel stronger and more secure
around teeth
Improved breath and oral comfort
Confidence in preventing future tooth loss
It’s not just a treatment—it’s a chance to enjoy life again without the constant reminders of gum disease.
The Benefits Beyond Your Smile
LANAP doesn’t just save teeth. By treating gum disease, you’re also helping lower inflammation throughout your body. Research shows a strong connection between gum health and systemic health issues like diabetes and heart disease. Treating your gums can help protect more than just your smile.
