Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure
Takes Place of Periodontal Surgery. Less Evasive, No-Cutting & No-Sewing.
The LANAP protocol is the only laser gum disease treatment FDA cleared for true regeneration. The LANAP protocol can re-grow the tissues and bone lost to gum disease.
“LANAP is to gum treatment as LASIK is to vision correction.” by Dr. Paul G. Wilke
When a patient is told they have gum disease, there is usually a stage of denial that occurs:
- No, I don’t have this.
- How did that happen, I get my teeth cleaned once or twice a year.
- Why do I have to do something about it now? Can’t it wait, can’t I go home and be more diligent?

Usually when a patient hears the word gum disease, they may think they need to go to a periodontist to have surgery. Dentists that have the Millennium Laser available in their office are completely certified to perform the procedure necessary to achieve a healthy mouth.
Laser Gum Procedure
In our office we don’t like using the word ‘surgery’. We prefer LANAP laser ‘procedure’, because a dental laser is used instead of a scalpel. No Cut, No Sew is a slogan that Millennium uses. The fiber laser is placed in between the tooth and gum targeting the inflammation without hurting the patient or removing any healthy gum tissue. This laser procedure slows the progression of attachment loss and decreases the pocket depth as the body recovers from this chronic infection.
It has been documented that gum disease effects your overall health. It has been linked to Diabetes, Heart Disease, Respiratory Disease, Osteoporosis, Cancer and many autoimmune disorders.
