Understand LANAP Surgery
LANAP laser surgery, also known as Laser Assisted Regeneration (LAR) presents a more comfortable and more successful alternative to traditional gum surgery. The procedure is achieved through PerioLase MVP-7, a free-running, variable pulsed Nd:YAG laser.
The PerioLase MVP-7 has seven variable pulse durations, with each having distinct tissue interactions allowing the LANAP protocol to target the source of inflammation without hurting the healthy gum tissue. LANAP surgery can also slow or even stop attachment loss and decrease pocket depth, making it a successful gum disease treatment methods.
OUR PROCESS TO HEALTHY GUMS
1
QUICK
LANAP laser surgery is usually completed in two separate, two-hour visits depending on your needs.
2
SAFE
Some patients only experience mild soreness of the affected areas, but can treat such discomfort with ibuprofen.
3
EFFECTIVE
LANAP surgery restores the mouth to its full function — thus making it the gold standard of regeneration.
4
RECOVERY
A short recovery time is needed after treatment, and healing is typically more comfortable than conventional surgery.
What to Expect
LANAP laser surgery is usually completed in two separate, two-hour visits at Montclair Dental Spa. The dentist will complete one side of the mouth at a time, and patients can typically return to normal activities immediately.
There may appear to be a slight discoloration of the gum tissues around the teeth. Patients will typically have their bite adjusted over several visits in the coming months. They should refrain from brushing or flossing for the first seven to 10 days after treatment, and should stop smoking until the healing process is complete.

Words From Our Patients
I felt valued and respected. Everyone involved was kind and considerate. I have a lot of bad experiences with dentists and I needed an emergency root canal so I was terrified. Everything was done in a timely fashion and the doctor was very thorough. This is the first dental experience I have had where I felt nothing the entire time and really felt taken care of. I will definitely be going to them as a regular as I can. Thank you to everyone there.

What an awesome experience. My crown broke late at night, I called their office at 8:30 PM on a Thursday night and someone called me right back and got me in for 10:00 AM the next day. The staff and doctors are amazing. I'm like many that hate going to the dentist and they made me feel so comfortable and relaxed. I will be recommending them to all my family and friends. Thank you to the Staff and Doctors at Montclair Dental Spa you are the best.

Frequently Asked Questions
Most anyone is a suitable candidate for LANAP laser surgery, provided they are in good overall health. Plus, PerioLase laser wavelength technology means that patients do not need to stop taking any blood thinners or aspirin. LANAP laser surgery is particularly suited for those with moderate to severe gum disease and those who are afraid of conventional scalpel surgery.
Only a LANAP-trained dentist, such as Dr. Moussa, can perform LANAP laser surgery. To do so, they must undergo hands-on, comprehensive, clinical, dentist-to-dentist training at the Institute for Advanced Laser Dentistry (IALD). Training must be completed over the course of a year.
Moderate to severe periodontal disease is typically treated with a scalpel and suture periodontal surgery. This method involves cutting the gums to scrape tartar off the roots before using drills to reshape the bone. The dentist then stitches the gums back onto the tooth, using bone grafts when necessary. This procedure is generally more painful and invasive than the LANAP protocol.
