Why is LANAP® better than conventional gum surgery?
Patients with periodontal disease have two primary treatment options: traditional gum surgery or LANAP® (Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure).
Involves surgically folding back the gums with a scalpel to expose the tooth roots and jawbone. Once accessible, tartar, plaque, and diseased tissue are meticulously removed. Any bone defects may be treated with grafting materials or reshaping techniques. Finally, the gums are sutured back into place, and healing begins—a process that often requires multiple visits and significant recovery time.
Uses advanced laser technology to target bacteria and diseased tissue without cutting or suturing the gums. The laser penetrates beneath the gum surface, eliminating infection while preserving healthy tissue. After removing calculus and plaque, the laser seals the area and stimulates stem cells, encouraging the regeneration of collagen, bone, and connective tissue around the tooth root.
LANAP® procedures are FDA-approved, minimally invasive, and usually completed in just 30–45 minutes per treated area, often requiring only one visit to restore gum health. When performed by LANAP®-certified clinicians, patients typically experience less discomfort, quicker healing, and long- lasting results.
By using PerioLase® for the LANAP® procedure, patients benefit from:
How much does LANAP® procedure typically cost?
The cost of LANAP® gum procedure can vary depending on several factors, including the severity of your gum disease, the extent of treatment needed, any associated procedures and your dental insurance plan.
At ToothHQ, our team is here to assist you with all necessary paperwork, scheduling appointments, and addressing any billing-related questions.
We are committed to providing affordable, high-quality dental care to help you maintain optimal oral health.
At ToothHQ Dental Specialists, diagnosing gum disease involves a thorough evaluation by our experienced periodontists, who will measure the spaces between your teeth and gums. If your gum pockets exceed the average depth of three millimeters, you may be at risk for gum disease and could require treatment. Based on the severity of your condition, our periodontists will recommend a follow-up appointment, where a variety of personalized treatment options will be discussed to restore your gum health. We are committed to providing effective, tailored solutions for patients across the DFW metroplex, ensuring optimal oral health for you and your family.
Scaling and Root Planing, often referred to as deep teeth and gum cleaning, is an effective treatment for periodontal disease. Scaling involves the removal of tartar buildup on the teeth and below the gumline, while root planing targets tartar beneath the root surface. When bacteria remain on your teeth for an extended period, it can harden into tartar, which can’t be removed by regular brushing. Unlike plaque, which can be cleared with standard brushing, tartar requires professional intervention from a periodontist.
LAPIP is an FDA-approved laser treatment for peri-implantitis, a gum infection around dental implants. It effectively removes bacteria, heals gums, and prevents further damage to implants, all with minimal discomfort and faster recovery.
Gum recession happens when the gum tissue pulls back from the teeth, exposing more of the tooth or its root. This can lead to increased sensitivity, a higher risk of cavities, and an altered smile. Causes include poor oral hygiene, aggressive brushing, genetic factors, hormonal changes, and gum disease
A gummy smile occurs when there is an uneven proportion between the visible gums and teeth. This condition can result from several factors, including bone loss, periodontal disease, or genetic tendencies. Many patients feel self-conscious about the appearance of a gummy smile and choose to address it through a gum contouring procedure, which helps create a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing smile.
If you’re experiencing gum recession, a gum graft might be a beneficial option. This common oral surgical procedure helps to thicken the existing gums and cover exposed tooth roots to prevent further recession. While gum recession can occur for various reasons, periodontal disease is one of the most common causes. A gum graft not only enhances the appearance of your smile but also lowers the risk of developing additional dental problems in the future.
Laser gum surgery is an innovative and effective treatment for gum disease that uses precise laser technology to target and eliminate harmful bacteria, all while preserving the surrounding gum tissue. Unlike traditional treatments that require cutting and suturing, laser gum surgery offers a minimally invasive approach that significantly reduces recovery time. Patients experience a faster healing process with less discomfort, making it an ideal option for those seeking a gentle yet highly effective solution to gum disease.
Laser gum therapy is generally used to treat mild to moderate gum disease, such as early-stage gingivitis or moderate periodontal disease. Unlike laser gum surgery, which is designed for advanced gum disease requiring deeper tissue removal and repair, laser gum therapy is effective for treating gum recession, removing plaque and tartar, and reducing inflammation—all without the need for incisions. This non-invasive, gentle procedure is ideal for patients seeking a quick recovery with minimal discomfort.
Advanced Laser Cleaning is typically used for moderate to severe gum disease, where a less invasive treatment is needed to remove plaque, tartar, and infected tissue from beneath the gumline. This procedure is ideal for patients looking for a gentle, effective way to treat gum infection.
Bone grafting or augmentation is often necessary for patients who have experienced significant bone loss in the jaw. This procedure involves adding bone material to the jaw to create a stronger foundation for dental implants.

The LANAP® Protocol is a laser‑based treatment that replaces traditional gum surgery for moderate to severe periodontal disease. It uses a specialized laser to remove infected tissue, kill bacteria, and promote bone and soft‑tissue regeneration
Unlike conventional surgery involving cutting and sutures, LANAP® uses a laser fiber to selectively target diseased tissue while preserving healthy gums. Patients benefit from less bleeding, swelling, and shorter recovery.
Individuals with moderate to severe gum disease, deep gum pockets, or those who have failed prior treatments may be good candidates. A dental specialist evaluates your condition to determine suitability.
Most patients experience minimal discomfort because the procedure is done with local anesthesia and avoids large incisions. Recovery tends to be faster and more comfortable than traditional surgery.
A typical LANAP® treatment may be completed in two visits, often two hours each, but the number of appointments varies depending on the severity and extent of disease.
Because LANAP® is minimally invasive, many patients return to normal activities the next day. Mild soreness or gum sensitivity may occur for a few days, but healing is quicker.
