Laser Assisted Gum Regeneration
The only FDA-approved way to regenerate your bones and gums.
Regrow Your Bones and Gums—without Surgery!
A minimally-invasive approach to rebuilding the bone and gum tissue you’ve lost.
If your gums are receding, or you’ve lost teeth to degenerative oral health, we can help. The Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure (LANAP®) offers an almost-painless and wildly-successful alternative to conventional periodontal gum surgery.
A Trailblazing Approach to Gum and Bone Health
The LANAP® therapy uses lasers to target diseased gum tissue without harming the healthy tissue around it.
The laser kills bacteria in the gum tissue 4mm beyond the surface, cleaning the site from the inside. The light also interacts with hemoglobin in the tissue to establish a fibrin clot which seals the area and allows regeneration to begin.
Save Your Teeth Without Surgery
Using LANAP®, we’ll target the bacteria in your inflamed gums without hurting or removing any healthy gum tissue. This will slow (or stop) attachment loss, decrease your tooth pocket depth, and allow your mouth to heal the chronic infection. And amazingly, this is all achieved without removing gum tissue, bone, or teeth.
