LANAP Laser Gum Surgery in Rockville, MD

LANAP is a gentle laser treatment for gum disease that avoids cutting and stitches.

It removes infection while protecting healthy tissue, helping your gums heal and your bone regenerate — all with less pain, faster recovery, and a better chance of saving your teeth.

What LANAP Treats

LANAP is a laser treatment for periodontal (gum) disease — the bacterial infection that destroys the gum tissue and bone holding your teeth in place.

It treats:

• Infected gum pockets
• Bone loss around teeth
• Bleeding, swollen, or receding gums
• Loose or shifting teeth caused by lost bone support
• Advanced gum disease that hasn't responded to cleaning alone

Who This Is For

LANAP is right for you if:



• You've been told you have moderate to severe gum disease
• Scaling and root planing (deep cleaning) didn't resolve the infection
• You want to avoid traditional gum surgery with cutting and stitches
• You have diabetes, heart disease, or another condition that raises your surgical risk
• You're trying to save teeth your dentist said may need to come out

What Happens If You Wait

Gum disease doesn't stay the same. It gets worse.

The progression looks like this:

• Bacteria infect the pockets around your teeth
• Your immune response triggers chronic inflammation
• That inflammation destroys the bone supporting your teeth
• Teeth loosen, shift, and eventually fall out or require extraction
• The infection enters your bloodstream — linked to heart disease, diabetes complications, and stroke

There is no stage where gum disease reverses on its own. Without treatment, you will continue to lose bone. The window to save your teeth closes over time.

How LANAP Helps Save Your Teeth

By the time most patients come to us, they've already lost some bone. The question is whether there's enough left to work with.

LANAP works to:

• Stop the infection — eliminating the bacteria destroying your bone
• Seal the pocket — preventing reinfection and further breakdown
• Stimulate bone regeneration — encouraging your body to rebuild lost support structure
• Stabilize loose teeth — as bone regenerates, teeth that were shifting can firm back up

Extraction is not inevitable. But the longer active infection continues, the fewer options remain. If you've been told a tooth can't be saved — get a second opinion before agreeing to extraction.
