FDA-Cleared
the only laser proven to regenerate bone
The Procedure
Gum disease affects over half of American adults — yet most never receive treatment because the traditional solution involves cutting gum tissue, scraping roots, and weeks of painful recovery. Most people choose to live with the disease rather than face that.
LANAP® — Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure — changes that entirely. Using the PerioLase® MVP-7™, a laser fiber thinner than a human hair is guided gently into the infected gum pocket. It selectively destroys the bacteria and diseased tissue causing the infection while leaving every strand of healthy gum completely untouched.
The result: bacteria eliminated, inflammation resolved, and the body's own healing response activated to rebuild bone and reattach gum tissue — without a single incision or suture.

Beyond Your Mouth
The bacteria driving your gum infection don't stay in your mouth. They enter your bloodstream with every heartbeat — triggering systemic inflammation that has been directly linked to serious medical conditions.
Heart Disease
Periodontal bacteria are found in arterial plaque
Type 2 Diabetes
Gum disease worsens blood sugar control
Adverse Pregnancies
Linked to preterm birth and low birth weight
Certain Cancers
Growing evidence of oral-systemic cancer links
Why LANAP®
Unlike traditional gum surgery requiring weeks of recovery, LANAP® patients walk out and return to normal activities the same day. No stitches. No scalpel. No extended downtime.
The PerioLase® MVP-7™ targets only diseased tissue with extraordinary precision. Healthy gum tissue is left completely untouched, resulting in minimal discomfort during and after the procedure.
LANAP® requires no incisions and no sutures. The laser fiber — thinner than a human hair — slips gently between tooth and gum to eliminate bacteria without any cutting of healthy tissue.
LANAP® is the only laser gum treatment scientifically proven to stimulate true bone regeneration. Rather than simply managing the disease, it creates conditions for the body to rebuild the bone you've lost.
In a single appointment, the PerioLase® MVP-7™ eliminates up to 90% of gum inflammation — halting the disease at its source and creating a dramatically healthier oral environment.
Gum disease is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults. LANAP® gives teeth a fighting chance by eradicating the infection around them and stimulating the surrounding structures to heal and reattach.
What to Expect
Dr. Fien performs a full periodontal evaluation, measuring pocket depths and assessing bone levels with digital X-rays to map the full extent of your gum disease.
A thin laser fiber is guided gently into the gum pocket. The PerioLase® MVP-7™ selectively vaporizes diseased tissue and harmful bacteria — leaving all healthy tissue completely intact.
Calculus and bacterial deposits are removed from the root surface using ultrasonic instruments, creating a clean, biologically compatible environment for healing.
The laser is re-applied to create a stable fibrin clot that seals the pocket — acting as a natural biological bandage and setting the stage for new tissue attachment and bone regeneration.
Traumatic bite forces that accelerate bone loss are carefully corrected, protecting the healing environment and supporting long-term results.
Most patients resume normal activity immediately. Dr. Fien schedules precise follow-up visits to monitor healing, measure bone regeneration, and ensure lasting periodontal health.
