LANAP Laser Gum Treatment
A laser-based treatment for gum disease that targets infection while preserving healthy tissue.
LANAP (Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure) uses a specialized dental laser to treat gum disease. It targets diseased tissue and bacteria while preserving healthy gum tissue, and it is designed to support the body's healing. LANAP is performed by Dr. Ramy Habib, our board-certified periodontist.
IS IT RIGHT FOR YOU?
LANAP may be an option if you have moderate to severe gum disease, deep gum pockets, or loose teeth caused by gum disease.
What to Expect
Dr. Habib measures your gum pockets and reviews your X-rays. The area is numbed, the laser treats the pockets, and the gums are allowed to heal. You'll return for follow-up visits to track healing.
