LANAP®: The Modern, No-Cut, No-Sew Solution for Gum Disease in Maple Grove
If you’ve been told you have periodontal (gum) disease, you’re not alone — but you do have
options that go far beyond traditional surgery. At Weimar Family & Implant Dentistry, Dr. Richard Weimar offers LANAP®, a minimally invasive laser treatment designed to treat gum disease without cutting or sutures.
What Is LANAP®?
LANAP® stands for Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure. It uses an FDA-cleared
laser that precisely targets and removes infected tissue while preserving healthy gum structure.
No scalpels.
No stitches.
Significantly less discomfort.
Why Patients Prefer LANAP®
LANAP® has grown rapidly in popularity because it offers benefits traditional gum surgery
simply can’t:
● Minimal pain and swelling
● Faster recovery time
● Less bleeding
● Reduced inflammation
● Stimulates regeneration of healthy tissue and bone
Patients often return to normal activities the same day.
How LANAP® Works (In Simple Terms)
1. The laser gently removes diseased tissue and bacteria.
2. The area is cleaned thoroughly.
3. The laser creates a clot that seals the gums naturally.
4. The body begins healing and regenerating healthy tissue.
This process encourages the gums to reattach to the teeth — something traditional methods
struggle to achieve.
Who Is a Candidate for LANAP®?
LANAP® may be ideal if you:
● Have bleeding or swollen gums
● Have gum recession or bone loss
● Have been told you need gum surgery but want a less invasive option
● Have difficulty healing due to medical conditions
● Want to treat gum disease without disrupting your daily life
