A Softer Approach to Healing Infected Gums
The LANAP laser treatment provides an innovative approach to addressing gum disease. This FDA-cleared, less invasive method employs the PerioLase® MVP-7™ laser to eliminate diseased tissue while encouraging the growth of healthy tissue, forming a shield against future bacterial spread. By precisely targeting inflammation, LANAP preserves surrounding healthy tissue, enabling natural recovery from persistent infections without the need for scalpels or stitches.
A Laser Solution for Failing or Infected Implants
The LAPIP protocol offers a minimally invasive, laser-based method for treating peri-implantitis—the inflammation and bone loss that threatens the stability of dental implants. Using the same PerioLase® MVP-7™ technology as LANAP, LAPIP precisely targets infected tissue and harmful bacteria surrounding the implant while protecting healthy gum and bone. This allows the body to naturally rebuild lost support and helps save implants that would otherwise be at risk of failure. With no cutting or sutures required, LAPIP provides a gentle, highly effective alternative to traditional peri-implant surgery.
A Softer Approach to Healing Infected Soft Tissue
If you’re dealing with gum disease, you’re among the 42% of adults over 30 that have some form of gum disease. Gum disease can cause discomfort, tooth loss, and even impact your general well-being. Infected soft tissue and bacteria often appear darker than the vibrant, healthy pink of unaffected gums, signaling the presence of periodontal disease.

BEFORE & AFTER
Is LANAP A SMART INVESTMENT?
LANAP offers a cost-effective alternative to traditional gum surgery by treating the entire mouth for about one-third of the price of osseous surgery. If you have moderate to severe gum disease, recurring pockets, or inflammation, LANAP may help you avoid more invasive and costly procedures while promoting natural tissue regeneration.
This minimally invasive laser procedure typically requires fewer visits and less recovery time, helping patients save money while improving overall gum health.
Conventional gum surgery is more invasive, requires sutures, and often includes longer healing periods—factors that contribute to higher overall treatment costs.
Is LAPIP RIGHT FOR YOUR IMPLANT?
LAPIP™ (Laser-Assisted Peri-Implant Procedure) is a minimally invasive laser treatment designed to save ailing or failing dental implants caused by peri-implantitis. Using the PerioLase® MVP-7™ Nd:YAG laser, the protocol targets inflamed, infected tissue and titanium corrosion contaminants while preserving healthy gums and bone. This tissue-sparing approach promotes bone regeneration around the implant and offers a more comfortable treatment with less bleeding, swelling, and downtime than traditional surgery.
Because LAPIP treats the implant site without cutting or sutures, patients typically experience shorter healing times and fewer follow-up visits, helping keep overall treatment costs lower.
Removing and replacing a failing implant can require multiple surgical steps, bone grafting, and several months of healing, which significantly increases both time and cost.
The Difference Between Traditional Surgery and LANAP
Traditional gum and implant surgery often requires cutting into the tissue, lifting flaps, and stitching the area closed afterward. These methods can increase trauma, bleeding, swelling, and longer recovery times. LANAP and LAPIP eliminate the need for scalpels or sutures by using the PerioLase® MVP-7™ laser to selectively remove infection while protecting healthy gum and bone—whether around natural teeth or dental implants.
Traditional periodontal and peri-implant surgeries can result in significant discomfort and extended healing. LANAP and LAPIP dramatically reduce trauma, allowing patients to recover faster with far less pain and swelling. Because the laser preserves healthy tissue and stimulates regeneration, most patients return to normal activities much sooner than with conventional surgery.
Both LANAP and LAPIP use laser energy that targets only infected tissue and harmful bacteria. Unlike scalpels, the PerioLase® MVP-7™ does not cut healthy gum or bone, meaning less inflammation, less bleeding, and less postoperative discomfort. This precision also allows for regeneration of the supporting structures—whether around natural teeth (LANAP) or implants (LAPIP)—helping stabilize areas affected by disease.
LANAP and LAPIP have transformed how professionals treat gum disease and peri-implantitis. Instead of removing tissue, the protocols support natural healing by creating an environment where gums can reattach and bone can regrow. LANAP helps save natural teeth suffering from periodontal disease, while LAPIP can rescue implants that might otherwise fail—offering patients a predictable, minimally invasive alternative to traditional surgery.
Frequently Asked Questions
BENEFITS OF LANAP & LAPIP TREATMENT

ARE YOU A CANDIDATE FOR LASER TREATMENT?
You may be a strong candidate for LANAP or LAPIP if you have moderate to severe periodontal disease, symptoms of peri-implantitis, bleeding gums, bone loss, recurring pockets, inflammation around a dental implant, or if you prefer a minimally invasive alternative to traditional surgery. These treatments are ideal for patients seeking to save natural teeth or stabilize existing implants.
