Traditional gum surgery is a thing of the past.

With Laser-assisted new attachment procedure (LANAP), our periodontists will use a laser to target and remove diseased gum tissue. This means that you won’t need to worry about scalpels and painful removing gum tissue. Instead, LANAP provides a far less invasive procedure and faster recovery times. The laser specifically targets the bacteria causing gum disease. There is no incision and stitching required.

How long does it take for gums to heal after LANAP?

After the procedure patients can go about their day normally with minimal pain. Since there are no sutures to worry about, discomfort does not linger for long. In fact, recovery time is around 24 hours, much faster than the 2 – 4 weeks traditional gum surgery takes.

Does the LANAP Procedure hurt?

The LANAP procedure is completed as the patient is under a local anesthetic of the treated areas. This allows the dentist to precisely direct the laser, and post-procedure discomfort is typically minimal and does not last long.
