LANAP (Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure) :

Laser Periodontal Therapy™

The FDA-Approved and patented LANAP laser therapy is a pocket reduction procedure that reduces pockets by establishing a new connective tissue attachment to the tooth at a coronal level. This is a minimally invasive periodontal procedure like no other. In most instances, treatment with the LANAP laser eliminates the need for conventional cut and suture periodontal surgery, also referred to as flap and osseous surgery.

This procedure is a "no cutting-no stitching" surgical procedure. It begins with the periodontal probe measuring excessive pocket depth. Then the laser is used to remove diseased tissue and debris found underneath the gum within the pocket. Disease causing bacteria are killed, leaving a sterile environment.

Ultrasonic scalers and special hand instruments are used to clean and smooth the root surface. The laser is then used a second time to further clean under the gum and to aid in coagulation or clot formation. This clot acts like a bandage around the teeth to help promote rapid healing and new gum formation around the teeth.
