Comprehensive Evaluation
Dr. Rodriguez examines your gums, measures periodontal pocket depths, and reviews 3D imaging to assess the extent of disease and confirm LANAP is the right treatment approach for your needs.

Laser Gum Disease Treatment Without the Scalpel
Looking for a scalpel-free solution to gum disease? LANAP in Downtown Los Angeles at Perio Implant Health Professionals uses FDA-cleared laser technology to eliminate infection, regenerate lost tissue, and restore your gum health with minimal discomfort and faster healing.

LANAP, or Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure, is an FDA-cleared laser protocol designed to treat moderate to severe periodontal disease without cutting or suturing. Dr. Rodriguez uses the PerioLase MVP-7 laser to target and destroy bacteria and diseased tissue deep within periodontal pockets while leaving healthy surrounding tissue completely intact. The laser simultaneously stimulates the regeneration of bone and connective tissue, encouraging your gums to reattach to the tooth surface and rebuild the foundation that gum disease has damaged.

LANAP is recommended for patients with moderate to severe periodontal disease who want a minimally invasive, clinically proven alternative to traditional gum surgery.
Here is what to expect, one step at a time.
Request a ConsultationDr. Rodriguez examines your gums, measures periodontal pocket depths, and reviews 3D imaging to assess the extent of disease and confirm LANAP is the right treatment approach for your needs.
The PerioLase laser is gently guided into each periodontal pocket to destroy harmful bacteria, remove diseased tissue, and begin stimulating the body’s natural healing response.
Ultrasonic instruments are used to loosen and remove tartar deposits from root surfaces before the laser makes a final pass to seal the pocket and promote clot formation.
Dr. Rodriguez provides detailed aftercare instructions and schedules follow-up visits to monitor regeneration, track pocket depth reduction, and ensure optimal long-term results.
LANAP eliminates the need for traditional surgical incisions in most cases, resulting in significantly less post-procedure discomfort and a faster return to normal activity.
Unlike conventional surgery, the LANAP protocol actively stimulates the regrowth of bone and connective tissue lost to periodontal disease.
Because no tissue is cut away, LANAP helps maintain your natural gumline and reduces the recession that can follow traditional periodontal surgery.
The PerioLase laser selectively targets diseased tissue and harmful bacteria while preserving the healthy gum tissue surrounding each pocket.

Traditional periodontal surgery involves cutting and suturing gum tissue to access and clean the infected area. LANAP uses a laser to achieve the same goals without incisions, resulting in less discomfort, reduced recession risk, and a significantly faster recovery for most patients.
Most patients complete treatment in two appointments, typically scheduled one to two weeks apart, with each session addressing one side of the mouth. Dr. Rodriguez will outline your specific treatment plan based on the extent of your periodontal disease.
Cost depends on the severity of your gum disease and the number of areas requiring treatment. We provide a detailed, transparent estimate at your consultation and are happy to discuss financing options that fit your budget.
Many dental insurance plans cover LANAP as a periodontal treatment, though benefits vary by policy. Our team will verify your coverage before treatment begins and help you understand all available options for making care accessible.
