What is LANAP?

LANAP stands for Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure. It is a highly effective and minimally invasive surgical therapy used to treat moderate to severe gum diseases like Periodontitis. This patented procedure uses a high-powered Dental Laser (PerioLase). This laser type is inserted between the tooth and gum for clearing the infection. It requires only a local anaesthetic and requires little or no downtime. In most cases, this procedure can be completed in either two or a single two hours sessions.
