What Is LANAP® and Why It Matters
LANAP®, short for Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure, is a revolutionary, FDA-cleared laser protocol for periodontal treatment. Unlike traditional gum surgery, LANAP® uses focused laser energy to precisely eliminate harmful bacteria and diseased tissue while preserving healthy gum structure and bone. This offers numerous patient benefits, including:
- Minimized discomfort and bleeding during and after treatment
- Promoted faster healing, helping you get back to your routine sooner
- Retained healthy tissue, preserving your natural smile aesthetics
- Reduced need for scalpels or sutures, making the experience more gentle and efficient
At Cameo Dental Specialists, your periodontist expertly performs LANAP® alongside complementary periodontal therapies for a customized, whole-patient approach—no cookie‑cutter care here!
