LANAP Laser Therapy
Minimally Invasive Treatment for Gum Disease
LANAP laser therapy is an advanced, minimally invasive treatment for gum disease that targets infected tissue while preserving healthy gums. At Buffalo Dental Group, this service is offered exclusively at our Williamsville office, providing a comfortable alternative to traditional periodontal surgery.
This modern approach aligns with our philosophy of conservative dentistry, helping restore gum health while minimizing discomfort and recovery time.
What Is LANAP Therapy?
LANAP (Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure) is a specialized laser treatment used to treat periodontal (gum) disease. Instead of cutting away gum tissue, a dental laser selectively removes bacteria and diseased tissue while promoting natural healing.
LANAP is designed to:
- Eliminate harmful bacteria below the gumline
- Preserve healthy gum tissue
- Stimulate regeneration of bone and tissue
- Reduce inflammation and bleeding
This makes it an effective option for patients seeking a less invasive solution for gum disease.
When Is LANAP Recommended?
LANAP therapy may be recommended for patients with moderate to advanced gum disease, especially when symptoms include:
- Bleeding or swollen gums
- Gum recession
- Persistent bad breath
- Loose teeth
- Bone loss around teeth
Early treatment is important to prevent tooth loss and avoid more complex restorative procedures.
Benefits of LANAP Laser Therapy
Compared to traditional gum surgery, LANAP offers several advantages:
- Minimally invasive with no scalpels or sutures
- Reduced discomfort during and after treatment
- Faster healing and recovery time
- Preservation of healthy gum tissue
- Lower risk of gum recession
This treatment supports long-term oral health while aligning with our conservative approach to care.
A Conservative Approach to Periodontal Care
At Buffalo Dental Group, LANAP therapy is part of our commitment to minimally invasive treatment. Our goal is to treat gum disease effectively while preserving natural structures whenever possible.
LANAP may also be used alongside services within restorative dentistry to support long-term stability and protect teeth affected by periodontal disease.
Advanced Technology for Precision Treatment
LANAP therapy is performed using advanced laser technology that allows for precise targeting of infected areas. This technology supports better outcomes and improved patient comfort. Learn more about our approach to innovation on our Technology page.

Supporting Long-Term Oral Health
Gum health plays a critical role in overall oral wellness. Treating periodontal disease early can help prevent tooth loss and reduce the need for procedures such as tooth extractions or more extensive restorative care.
Routine visits, including dental checkups and cleanings, are essential for maintaining results after treatment.
