What is LANAP IN Wheaton IL?

LANAP is an abbreviation for Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure. The LANAP protocol is the most minimally-invasive and the ONLY FDA-approved and proven laser treatment for gum disease to reestablish tissue regeneration. It resolves periodontal disease which often requires surgical intervention with a faster, gentler, and more reliable approach. There is no cutting and suturing with the LANAP protocol. Patients typically report less anxiety, pain, and discomfort during and after the procedure, compared to traditional periodontal surgery. Post-surgical recession and tooth sensitivity, which often can be noticed following traditional gum surgery, are also significantly reduced. It is the most patient-friendly periodontal procedure today to reverse the destruction of periodontal health and to maintain a beautiful smile.

The LANAP protocol is a patented periodontal treatment, cleared by the FDA in 2004. The procedure can only be done with the PerioLase® MVP-7; this laser operates at a specific wavelength that attacks the bacteria that contributes to gum disease while leaving healthy tissue intact

What is LAPIP?

LAPIP is an abbreviation for Laser Assisted Peri-Implantitis Procedure. The LAPIP protocol is the most minimally invasive procedure to stop progression of peri-implantitis, decontaminate the implant surface, and promote bone regeneration. It is simple. Most patients need just one appointment. It kills bacteria without harming the implants nor surrounding healthy tissue. IT minimizes gum recession which often occurs with traditional peri-implantitis surgery. It requires no graft material and it is safe for medically compromised patients who may not be suitable candidates for traditional surgery.
