LANAP
Gum Surgery by Laser
LANAP is the only scientifically, research proven treatment that results in true periodontal regeneration, new bone growth and gingiva reattachment.

The LANAP protocol can re-grow the tissues and bone, lost to gum disease.

- Less painful
- Less post-op sensitivity
- Less gum loss (gum recession)
- Very little downtime after treatment
