What Is LANAP?

We recommend laser gum surgery over traditional methods. The Nd: YAG laser is an improvement over classic osseous surgery. In fact, the Nd: YAG laser is used in the LANAP ® protocol, a breakthrough alternative treatment to prevent and remove gum infections.

The laser allows for better healing, patient comfort and it promotes better bone health. Through stimulation, it encourages the regrowth of bone lost to periodontal disease. This allows us to save loose teeth, avoid the need for extraction and any other subsequent procedures needed to replace missing teeth.
