LANAP® Laser Gum Disease Treatment in Reynoldsburg, OH

Gum disease treatment without cutting or stitches. Our board-certified periodontists use the LANAP® protocol to remove infection, protect healthy tissue, and help your gums truly heal — right here in east Columbus.

If you’ve been told you have gum disease — or that you need gum surgery — take a breath. The words sound scarier than the path forward actually is.
Many of our patients put off treatment for years because they pictured scalpels, stitches, and a long, painful recovery. That picture is outdated. The LANAP® protocol is a laser alternative to traditional gum surgery: no cutting, no stitches, and a faster, more comfortable recovery. Most patients return to their normal routine quickly.

You don’t have to choose between living with gum disease and dreading the treatment. There’s a third option, and our team will walk you through it patiently, step by step.

WHAT IS THE LANAP PROTOCOL?

LANAP stands for Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure — a precise, minimally invasive way to treat gum disease without a scalpel.

Here’s the plain-language version: gum disease creates infected pockets between your gums and teeth. Traditional surgery treats those pockets by cutting the gums open and removing tissue. LANAP takes a different path. Using a specialized laser called the PerioLase® MVP-7™, your periodontist targets only the diseased tissue and bacteria inside the pocket — leaving your healthy gum tissue untouched.

The PerioLase MVP-7 isn’t a generic dental laser. It’s an Nd:YAG free-running pulsed laser that requires specific training and skill to use, which is why the LANAP protocol is performed by trained clinicians, not as an add-on service. It’s also the most validated option in its category: LANAP is the world’s first and only scientifically proven laser gum disease treatment with FDA clearance for True Periodontal Regeneration™.* That means it doesn’t just manage gum disease — it creates the conditions for the bone and tissue you’ve lost to grow back.

*Full Mouth True Periodontal Regeneration; the only FDA clearance for True Periodontal Regeneration supported by independent, peer-reviewed scientific proof.

THE PROCEDURE

How the Treatment Works

  • Measuring the problem.
Your periodontist uses a small periodontal probe to measure the pockets around your teeth. Deeper-than-normal pockets confirm where gum disease is active.
  • Targeting the infection.
The PerioLase® MVP-7™ laser passes between the gum and tooth, selectively vaporizing bacteria, their toxins, and diseased tissue — and deactivating the harmful proteins that drive the disease. Healthy tissue is left alone.
  • Cleaning the roots.
Ultrasonic scaler tips gently remove hardened tartar from the root surfaces — the rough deposits that give bacteria a place to hide.
  • Waking up the bone.
The underlying bone is carefully modified to release stem cells, your body’s own building blocks for repair.
  • Sealing the pocket.
The laser makes a final pass to finish cleaning the pocket, stimulate your natural growth factors, and help seal the pocket closed — so new germs can’t get back in while you heal.
  • Reattachment begins.
With the infection gone and the root surfaces clean, your gums can heal directly against the tooth again.
  • Balancing your bite.
Your periodontist adjusts how your teeth come together, removing bite trauma so healing tissues aren’t stressed while they recover.
  • True healing.
Over the following months, gum tissue and bone regenerate — not just symptom relief, but genuine repair of what gum disease took away.
