LANAP stands for laser-assisted new attachment procedure. This treatment is an FDA-cleared surgery that treats gum disease. It uses a laser to remove diseased gum tissue and enhance your body’s natural ability to heal itself.

Laser technology at New Jersey Dental Specialists also helps rebuild jawbone loss due to gum disease or other reasons. Growing the bone reduces your risk of permanent tooth loss and often makes it possible for you to receive dental implants in the future.

Tongue-tie release uses a laser to release tissue that constricts your tongue’s movement and range of motion. New Jersey Dental Specialists use lasers in place of scalpels for many types of dental surgeries.

Is laser dentistry right for me?

To find out if you’re a candidate for laser dentistry, your New Jersey Dental Specialists provider discusses your oral health history with you and examines your gums, teeth, and mouth. They ask about any symptoms you may have and take dental X-rays if needed. 

Your provider personalizes a laser dentistry treatment plan when necessary to maximize your oral health and wellness.
