LANAP = Laser Assisted Regeneration (LAR)
Our office offers an FDA-cleared laser treatment called LANAP (Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure). This new protocol is less painful and more successful than conventional surgery. LANAP=LAR is the only scientifically proven methodology that results in true periodontal regeneration, new bone growth, and gum tissue reattachement. The laser treatment is one of the most successful protocol in treating gum disease because it can target the source of the inflammation without hurting or removing any healthy gum tissue, slow or stop attachement loss and decrease pocket depth, and allows the body to recover from the chronic infection without the need for scalpel or sutures.

2. Less bleeding

6. Very little downtime after treatment
7. Less Post-op complications
8. Promotes regeneration of supporting gum tissues
