About LANAP-Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure

LANAP, the acronym for Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure, is revolutionizing today’s treatment of inflammatory periodontal disease. By utilizing LANAP, Dr. Gary Perlman provides the latest, most effective patient friendly treatment possible.

LANAP is performed by Dr. Perlman with the Periolase MVP-7, the only FDA approved laser able to claim an outcome of new attachment of tooth root surfaces. By using a laser, patients experience virtually no pain, swelling or bleeding. And best of all, LANAP makes possible treatment that is just as effective, less time consuming and less expensive than conventional surgical treatment of gum disease.

Patients taking advantage of the LANAP technique will undergo the following:

• Enhanced instruction in oral hygiene.
• Treatment with the Periolase MVP-7 in 2 two hour or 1 four hour appointment.
  Note: Conventional gum treatments may take from 4 to 8 appointments including post-operative follow up and suture removal.
• Adjustment of the bite
• Recovery is virtually pain free, with little, if any, swelling and no residual blood loss. Prescription medication for discomfort is rarely required.
• Routine follow up and polishing of teeth.

According to the U.S. Surgeon General, periodontal disease affects 85 percent of Americans age 18 and older. Sadly, fewer than 2 percent will ever receive proper treatment. Now, there is an alternative. LANAP: no cutting, no stitches and no pain. Call our office at 904-731-1324 to schedule a consultation and learn if LANAP is the right solution for you.
