​

How LANAP works

A laser fiber the width of three human hairs is especially designed to target only diseased gum tissue and kill the bacteria. Since it doesn't affect healthy tissue, you recover quickly and with minimal swelling.

What to expect during treatment?

LANAP periodontal surgery is a full-mouth procedure usually completed in two, 2-hour visits. Splinting of loose teeth may occur during this visit if necessary. One side of the mouth is completed during the first visit, and a week later the other side is then completed at the second visit. It is very common for patients to quickly resume normal activities or return to work.



What to expect after treatment?

LANAP is a surgical procedure, so your body will adjust depending upon your individual pain tolerance. The first few days following the surgery you may experience mild soreness of the treated areas- generally alleviated with Ibuprofen. The gum tissues around the teeth may appear slightly discolored. Splints may be fabricated to stabilize and immobilize the teeth. It is important that you wear these splints as instructed to promote healing. Expect to have your bite adjusted during visits several times over the coming months; this is very important for healing. Do not brush or floss for the first 7-10 days after treatment. Follow a soft diet as recommended by your treating dentist. Do not smoke. Smoking interferes with the healing process by impairing the body’s defense mechanisms.



How much will LANAP cost?

The cost of LANAP can vary depending on degree and extent of periodontal diseases but it is comparable to traditional osseous surgery. The best way to find out your costs is to come in for a consultation so the dentist can examine your periodontal disease. We will go over your payment options, including any insurance coverage or financing available to you. Flexible Payment Options We accept all PPO dental insurances and are in-network with Delta Dental Premier. We also offer interest-free financing & accept all major credit cards.
