Procedures LANAP™

LANAP (Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure) is a wonderful new treatment for controlling periodontal problems. Dr. Wilson is proud to be the first periodontist in Minnesota to offer this state-of-the-art treatment.

During LANAP, Dr. Wilson utilizes a pulsed laser to remove only diseased tissue and harmful bacteria leaving healthy tissue intact. The root surfaces are thoroughly cleaned to remove tartar. A second pass of the laser is used to finish the cleaning process and to seal the pockets so new germs cannot enter. As the tissue heals, new attachment of gingival tissue to the clean root surfaces occurs.

The benefits of this procedure are numerous. No cutting or sutures are involved so recovery time is much less and pain and discomfort is minimized. Because only diseased tissue is removed, the height of tissue around the teeth is maintained. Not only is the pocketing around the teeth reduced but also healthy new tissue is formed. In short, patients are much more comfortable and the treatment has better results.
