Restore Your Oral Health Naturally with LANAP Gum Disease Laser Therapy
Being diagnosed with gum disease can feel overwhelming, but there are modern, minimally invasive solutions available to restore your oral health without traditional surgery. At Natural and Cosmetic Dentistry in Clearwater, Florida, Dr. Beata A. Carlson and Associates proudly offer LANAP (Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure)—an advanced gum disease laser therapy designed to treat periodontal disease safely and effectively.
LANAP is a revolutionary alternative to traditional flap surgery, allowing patients to treat gum disease without incisions, stitches, or significant downtime. This innovative approach promotes healing while preserving as much of your healthy gum tissue as possible.
What is LANAP and How Does It Work?
When periodontal disease develops, it creates deep pockets between the teeth and gums, harboring harmful bacteria that erode the bone and soft tissue. Traditional flap surgery involves cutting into the gum tissue to access and clean these infected areas, followed by stitching the tissue back in place. While effective, this approach can be painful and may lead to longer recovery times.
LANAP laser gum treatment takes a different approach. It uses a highly specialized dental laser to selectively target and remove diseased gum tissue without harming healthy tissue. This precision allows for gentle yet thorough cleaning of the tooth roots and the infected areas below the gum line.
Once the laser has eliminated the bacteria and damaged tissue, the area is thoroughly cleaned, and the body’s natural healing process is stimulated to encourage the regeneration of healthy gum and bone. Gum disease laser therapy with LANAP is a safe, FDA-cleared option for many patients and can often be completed in just one or two visits.

Is LANAP Right for You?
LANAP is ideal for patients with mild to moderate periodontal disease. In more severe cases, traditional flap surgery may still be necessary to fully eliminate deep infection. During your visit, Dr. Beata A. Carlson and Associates will conduct a thorough evaluation of your oral health to determine the most appropriate course of treatment for your unique needs.
If you’re looking for a less invasive, natural solution to restore your gums and protect your smile, LANAP may be the answer.
