• WHAT IS LANAP SURGERY?
• LANAP surgery is an FDA-approved treatment for
  gum disease. This laser surgery is focused on
  regaining tissue and bone lost in the mouth due
  to gum disease. LANAP targets the diseased tissue
  without harming the healthy tissue.
• How is LANAP surgery different from osseous
  surgery?
• LANAP surgery is intended to be less painful and
  have a shorter downtime compared to osseous
  surgery. This treatment is usually more
  successful than a conventional osseous surgery
  and has a quick recovery time.

• What should I expect during LANAP surgery?
• LANAP surgery can usually be completed in a
  couple visits, each lasting roughly 2 hours. One
  side of the mouth is treated during each visit to
  regenerate gum tissue and bone growth. In the
  first few days after each procedure, patients
  might experience mild soreness. Patients could
  potentially be given splints to wear after
  surgery to help stabilize the teeth. It is highly
  recommended that patients eat soft foods and do
  not brush or floss for 10 days after treatment.
