What is LANAP®?
LANAP® stands for Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure. It is the only laser gum disease treatment cleared by the FDA and scientifically proven to regenerate healthy gum tissue and bone around teeth affected by periodontitis.
Instead of cutting and stitching the gums like traditional surgery, LANAP® uses a specialized PerioLase® MVP-7™ laser to gently remove diseased tissue and harmful bacteria from below the gumline. The laser is selective, meaning it targets only the infected tissue while leaving the healthy parts of your gums untouched. This precision is what makes the procedure so much more comfortable and the recovery so much shorter.
For patients in DeForest and the surrounding Madison area, LANAP® offers a path to healthier gums without the fear and downtime that often come with conventional periodontal surgery.

Signs You May Need LANAP®
Gum disease often progresses quietly, and many people don't realize they have it until it has already caused damage. You may benefit from a LANAP® consultation if you notice any of the following:
- Red, swollen, or tender gums
- Bleeding when you brush or floss
- Persistent bad breath
- Gums that are pulling away from your teeth
- Loose or shifting teeth
- Pus between your teeth and gums
- A change in the way your teeth fit together when you bite
- A previous diagnosis of periodontitis or recommendation for gum surgery

LANAP® vs. Traditional Gum Surgery
For decades, the standard treatment for advanced gum disease involved cutting the gums open with a scalpel, cleaning the roots, and stitching everything back together. It worked, but it was painful, the recovery was long, and the gums often receded as a result.
LANAP® changes all of that. There are no incisions, no stitches, and no significant recession. The treatment time is shorter, the discomfort is minimal, and the body's natural healing response is actually enhanced. Studies have shown that LANAP® can regenerate the bone and tissue lost to gum disease, something traditional surgery cannot consistently do.
For patients who have been putting off gum treatment because they're afraid of surgery, LANAP® is often the answer they've been waiting for.
