Understanding Your Treatment

What Is the LANAP Protocol?

LANAP (Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure) is a patented, minimally invasive treatment that uses a specialized laser to eliminate bacteria and diseased tissue — while preserving your healthy gum and bone.

  • Minimizes Pain & Recovery
    Most patients return to work the next day with little to no discomfort — a dramatic improvement over traditional gum surgery.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes — we offer flexible financing options to make LANAP treatment accessible and manageable for every patient. Our team will walk you through all available payment plans during your consultation so you can choose what works best for your situation.
Most patients report significantly less discomfort than they expected. Local anesthesia is used during treatment, and post-procedure soreness is typically mild and manageable with over-the-counter pain relievers. The laser naturally reduces inflammation and promotes faster healing.
The LANAP protocol is typically completed over two appointments, each lasting about 2 hours. The entire mouth is treated in just two visits, unlike traditional surgery which may require multiple procedures. Most patients return to normal activities the following day.
LANAP is appropriate for most patients with mild to severe periodontitis (gum disease). It’s an especially good option for patients who want to avoid traditional surgery, those on blood thinners, diabetics, and anyone with medical conditions that complicate healing. We’ll evaluate your case during your consultation.
A regular deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) removes tartar and bacteria mechanically but cannot regenerate lost bone or tissue. LANAP uses a precise laser to eliminate bacteria, remove diseased tissue, and stimulate the body’s natural ability to regrow bone and connective tissue — making it significantly more effective for moderate to advanced gum disease.
Recovery is dramatically easier than traditional gum surgery. Most patients experience mild soreness and swelling for 24–48 hours. You’ll be on a soft food diet for about a week and should avoid vigorous rinsing. The vast majority of patients return to work the day after treatment.
