How LANAP Works: The Science of Regeneration

LANAP isn’t just a cleaning; it’s a biological "reset" for your gums. Using the specialized PerioLase® MVP-7™ laser, the procedure follows a specific protocol to save your natural teeth:

1. Targeted Removal

The laser vaporizes bacteria and infected tissue within the periodontal pockets without harming healthy gums.

2. Calculus Removal

Tiny ultrasonic scalers remove tartar from the root surfaces.

3. The Healing Seal

The laser is used a second time to create a natural "gel clot," sealing the pocket to prevent reinfection and allow your body to begin the regeneration of bone and attachment.

Are You a Candidate for LANAP?

Many patients specifically seek out LANAP at Pearl Periodontics because they want to save their natural teeth without the trauma and downtime associated with traditional surgery. This advanced protocol is typically the ideal solution for individuals with moderate to severe periodontal disease, those who may be fearful of scalpels and sutures, or patients on certain medications—such as blood thinners—that can complicate conventional surgical procedures.

Is the LANAP procedure painful?
One of the primary reasons patients seek out Dr. Brummerhop for LANAP is the comfort level. Because this is a less invasive option, post-operative pain is minimal. Most patients manage any slight tenderness with over-the-counter painkillers and find the experience much more pleasant than conventional surgery.
How long is the recovery time?
The nature of the laser allows for an incredibly rapid recovery. Most of our patients return to work and their regular social schedule the very next day. While we provide specific instructions regarding a soft-food diet for a short period to protect the healing tissues, you should experience minimal interruption.
Will my insurance cover LANAP?
Because LANAP is a proven treatment, it is typically accepted by most insurance providers. Our team at Pearl Periodontics is happy to help you navigate your benefits to see if you're covered.
