What is LANAP Laser Treatment?
LANAP, short for Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure, is an FDA‑approved laser gum treatment designed to treat moderate to severe gum disease without the need for scalpels or sutures. Instead of cutting through gum tissue, a specialized dental laser precisely targets and removes only diseased tissue while sparing healthy gum and bone. This precision enables more predictable healing and helps regenerate lost attachment between gums and teeth.
This cutting‑edge protocol works by reducing bacteria deep within periodontal pockets and stimulating the body’s natural healing response, promoting healthier gums and stronger tooth support without the trauma of traditional surgery.

How Does LANAP Work
LANAP utilizes a specialized dental laser (often the PerioLase MVP‑7) that emits light energy to selectively remove diseased gum tissue while leaving healthy tissue untouched.
The process typically follows these steps:
- Assessment and preparation: A
dental professional evaluates your periodontal health and plans the laser settings.
- Laser treatment: The laser is applied to eradicate bacteria and diseased tissue deep within gum pockets.
- Ultrasonic cleaning: After laser therapy, plaque and tartar are removed using an ultrasonic scaler.
- Stimulation of healing: The laser stimulates gum tissue to reattach to tooth roots and promotes new tissue growth.
Because the laser cauterizes as it works, there’s minimal bleeding, and many patients report a comfortable experience throughout the procedure.
