Shown through research and histological studies to remove bacteria that causes gum disease and infections. Because there’s no scalpel involved, you don’t require incisions to remove tissue and bacteria, and you preserve more of your healthy gum tissue.
Dr. Kaeley has received training in the use of the PerioLase® MVP-7™. This extremely accurate LANAP Laser targets and eliminates bacteria between the gum and teeth.
In LANAP, Dr. Kaeley uses gentle pulses of laser light to destroy bacteria and diseased tissue which also breaks up tartar deposits in the gum line and uses techniques to encourage reattachment of gum tissue and bone regeneration. There is no cutting or sutures involved.

LANAP (Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure) utilizes safe and proven laser technology to gently remove harmful bacteria and diseased tissue from the gums. With this new procedure, only the diseased tissue is removed and the height of the tissue around the tooth is maintained.
This laser gum surgery controls periodontal disease and makes it possible to save and restore healthy teeth that may otherwise have to be extracted. This removal of bacteria allows the body to heal naturally so the gum pockets improve and the teeth become more stable. But, with LANAP, there is less pain and since the gum tissue is not cut with a scalpel, there are no stitches, minimal bleeding, and a quicker, much easier recovery.
This Laser Treatment for Gum Disease gives the body a chance to heal itself, helping you avoid more invasive surgery.

Many patients are good candidates for this laser periodontal surgery, and the procedure offers them the opportunity to save teeth that may otherwise be a lost cause.
