Laser Therapy – LANAP® in Houston, TX
Minimally Invasive Gum Disease Treatment with LANAP®
Are you suffering from bleeding gums, gum recession, or periodontal disease? Traditional gum surgery can be invasive and require long recovery times. Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure (LANAP®) is a minimally invasive alternative that treats gum disease without cutting or stitches.
At North Houston Periodontics & Dental Implants, Dr. Mack Coker and Dr. Daniel Ho specialize in LANAP® laser therapy, offering a comfortable, highly effective solution for gum disease treatment.
We proudly serve Houston, TX, including Champion Forest, Greenwood Forest, Kleinwood, and Memorial Northwest.
What is LANAP®?
LANAP® (Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure) is an FDA-approved laser gum treatment designed to remove infected tissue, eliminate bacteria, and stimulate bone and tissue regeneration. Unlike traditional gum surgery, LANAP® uses a precise laser to treat gum disease without harming healthy tissue.
Benefits of LANAP® Over Traditional Gum Surgery
- Minimally Invasive – No scalpels, cutting, or stitches
- Faster Healing – Less bleeding, swelling, and post-procedure discomfort
- Preserves Healthy Tissue – Targets only diseased areas
- Stimulates Bone Regeneration – Helps regenerate lost bone around teeth
- Less Risk of Gum Recession – Maintains natural gum levels
Who Can Benefit from LANAP®?
LANAP® is ideal for patients with:
- Gum disease (gingivitis or periodontitis)
- Bleeding, swollen, or receding gums
- Loose teeth due to bone loss
- Chronic bad breath (halitosis)
- Sensitivity to traditional gum surgery
If you have been told you need gum surgery but want a less invasive alternative, LANAP® may be the perfect solution.
