Regenerate Your Smile with LANAP
What is LANAP and Why Do You Need It?
LANAP, standing for Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure, is a state-of-the-art alternative to traditional gum surgery. For those who are considering dental implants, this minimally invasive technique aims to remove infected gum tissue and induce bone and gum tissue regeneration without the discomfort of traditional surgery.
Think about it this way: it’s like LASIK of gum surgeries, designed to regenerate bone and gum tissue without traditional invasive surgeries.

Will insurance cover LANAP, LAPIP, and BLAST procedures?
Insurance coverage can widely vary depending on your provider and plan. While some insurance plans may cover portions of periodontal and implant procedures, it’s vital to discuss and confirm with your insurance provider and our administrative team, ensuring transparency and planning in financial aspects of your treatment.
How does the recovery from LANAP and LAPIP compare with traditional periodontal and implant procedures?
LANAP and LAPIP are renowned for their minimally invasive nature and subsequently, their notably shorter and less discomforting recovery periods. Patients often experience minimal pain, swelling, and bleeding post-procedure and can typically resume normal activities swiftly. Traditional surgical approaches, in contrast, may involve more extended and potentially discomforting recovery periods.
Are LANAP, LAPIP, and BLAST safe and suitable for everyone?
These procedures are generally considered safe and minimally invasive, offering benefits of reduced discomfort and swift recovery. However, suitability can depend on individual health conditions, oral health status, and specific patient needs. Dr. Kasimi will conduct a thorough evaluation to ascertain the most beneficial and safe treatment pathway tailored for you.
Can LANAP and LAPIP procedures be performed during the same visit?
While both LANAP and LAPIP leverage laser technology, they cater to different dental issues - gum disease and peri-implantitis, respectively. It's conceivable to have both procedures performed in a single visit, depending on the extent of the issues and the overall oral health of the patient. However, Dr. Kasimi will determine the best course of action after an exhaustive examination and discussion of your oral health goals.
What is BLAST and how does it integrate with other laser treatments like LANAP and LAPIP?
BLAST (Bioactive Laser Assisted Surgery Technique) is an innovative approach that utilizes laser technology to promote faster healing, optimize post-procedural recovery, and enhance the overall outcomes of dental surgeries. It can integrate with LANAP and LAPIP by facilitating improved tissue regeneration and healing, ensuring that post-procedural recovery is swift and complications are minimized.
Is the LAPIP procedure applicable for all dental implant issues?
LAPIP is specifically formulated to manage peri-implantitis and may not be the solution for all dental implant issues. It is especially potent in regenerating bone and gum tissue, enhancing implant stability, and curbing further bone loss. A comprehensive consultation with Dr. Kasimi will determine if LAPIP or an alternate approach is suitable for your specific implant concerns.
How does LAPIP enhance the longevity of dental implants?
LAPIP (Laser-Assisted Peri-Implantitis Procedure) employs laser technology, specifically designed to address peri-implantitis - an inflammatory condition involving bone loss around dental implants. It carefully eliminates infection and stimulates regrowth of bone and soft tissue around the implant, bolstering its stability and health without the extensive procedure of implant replacement.
What is LANAP and how does it differentiate from traditional gum disease treatment?
LANAP (Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure) utilizes precise laser technology to effectively treat periodontal disease without the need for invasive surgery. Unlike traditional methods that involve cutting and suturing of the gums, LANAP targets and eradicates bacteria and diseased tissue without harming healthy gums, promoting faster healing and minimal discomfort.
