What Is LANAP?
LANAP is a laser-based procedure used to treat moderate to severe periodontitis (advanced gum disease). Unlike traditional flap surgery, it doesn’t involve cutting or suturing the gums.
Instead, the laser targets infected tissue and bacteria with pinpoint accuracy, stimulating the body’s natural ability to heal and regenerate bone and tissue.
This process results in faster healing and minimal post-operative pain or discomfort.
What Is LAPIP?
LAPIP is the implant-specific version of LANAP. If you’re experiencing inflammation, infection, or bone loss around a dental implant, LAPIP offers a minimally invasive way to stop the damage and save your implant—without removing it.
Key Benefits of LANAP /LAPIP:
- Minimally Invasive – No scalpels or sutures
- Faster Healing – Little to no downtime
- Bone Regeneration – Encourages growth around teeth or implants
- Targeted – Laser selectively removes diseased tissue
- Reduced Pain & Swelling – Less trauma, less post-op discomfort
- FDA-Approved & Scientifically Proven
Ideal For:
- Patients with moderate to severe gum disease
- Patients with peri-implantitis (infection around implants)
- Those seeking a non-surgical alternative to gum surgery
- Patients wanting less downtime and discomfort
