Gum disease is one of the most common oral health issues, affecting nearly half of adults over 30. Left untreated, it can lead to gum recession, bone loss, and even tooth loss. Traditional treatments often involve scalpels and sutures, but at Think Oral Implants and Periodontics, we offer advanced laser gum surgery (LANAP)—a minimally invasive, comfortable, and highly effective alternative.
If you’ve been putting off gum treatment due to fear of pain or a lengthy recovery, Think Oral Implants and Periodontics has the state-of-the-art solution you’ve been waiting for.
What Is Laser Gum Surgery?
At Think Oral Implants and Periodontics, we specialize in LANAP (Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure), a revolutionary gum disease treatment that uses precisely targeted laser energy to remove infected gum tissue and bacteria while preserving healthy tissue.
Unlike traditional gum surgery, which requires cutting and suturing, LANAP at Think Oral Implants and Periodontics allows for:
✔ Faster healing
✔ Minimal bleeding
✔ Less discomfort
✔ Natural gum and bone regeneration
How Does LANAP Work at Think Oral Implants and Periodontics?
Our highly trained LANAP specialists follow a precise, three-step process to restore your gum health:
- Laser Treatment – A specialized laser gently removes diseased tissue and eliminates harmful bacteria from deep gum pockets.
- Ultrasonic Cleaning – Once the infection is removed, ultrasonic scalers clean and smooth the root surfaces to encourage gum reattachment.
- Tissue Regeneration – The laser stimulates natural healing, allowing the gums to reattach to the teeth and regenerate lost bone over time.
Because the laser seals blood vessels and nerve endings, patients experience minimal swelling and significantly faster recovery times compared to traditional surgery.

Benefits of Laser Gum Surgery at Think Oral Implants and Periodontics
1.Less Pain & Discomfort
Since the laser precisely targets only infected tissue, it minimizes trauma to the surrounding gums, leading to less pain during and after the procedure.
2.Faster Healing Time
Traditional gum surgery often requires weeks of recovery, but with LANAP at Think Oral Implants and Periodontics, most patients return to normal activities within a day or two.
3.No Need for Scalpels or Stitches
One of the biggest advantages of LANAP at Think Oral Implants and Periodontics is that it doesn’t require cutting or suturing, making it a less intimidating option for patients with dental anxiety.
4.Reduced Risk of Infection
Lasers sterilize the treated area, lowering the risk of infection and promoting faster, natural healing.
5.Preserves More Healthy Gum Tissue
With traditional gum surgery, some healthy tissue may be removed along with diseased areas. LANAP at Think Oral Implants and Periodontics is more selective, meaning your healthy gums remain intact.
6.Encourages Bone Regeneration
LANAP has been shown to stimulate the body’s natural ability to regrow bone, which is critical for patients experiencing bone loss due to gum disease.
Who Can Benefit from Laser Gum Surgery?
At Think Oral Implants and Periodontics, we recommend LANAP laser treatment for patients who:
- Have moderate to severe gum disease (periodontitis)
- Want a less painful alternative to traditional surgery
- Experience gum recession and want to preserve their natural teeth
- Are at risk of tooth loss due to periodontal disease
- Struggle with dental anxiety and fear of invasive procedures
What to Expect During and After Your LANAP Treatment
At Think Oral Implants and Periodontics, we ensure a comfortable, stress-free experience. Here’s what you can expect:
- Procedure Time – LANAP usually takes one to two hours, depending on the severity of the gum disease.
- Minimal Discomfort – Most patients report little to no pain during and after treatment.
- Quick Recovery – You can resume daily activities within 24-48 hours.
- Dietary Guidelines – We recommend soft foods for a few days, but there are no long-term restrictions.
- Follow-Up Care – We schedule regular check-ups to ensure your gums are healing properly.
