No Cut, No Sew, No Fear
Just hearing the words “you need gum surgery” can immediately strike fear, even among the bravest patients. Fortunately, advancements in dental technology have eliminated all reasons to fear gum disease treatment. The “No Cut, No Sew, No Fear” slogan helps educate patients about the LANAP protocol and increases treatment acceptance. By changing the terrifying narratives associated with periodontal surgery, we can encourage more patients to seek the treatment they need.
How LANAP Laser Surgery Benefits You
Before you submit to a scalpel and stitches, consider these seven benefits of LANAP periodontal treatment:
- Less postoperative pain. Using the state-of-the-art PerioLase® MVP-7 laser, the LANAP protocol avoids the need to cut open and stitch your gums — a standard requirement for conventional osseous surgery.
- Quick healing. You may return to your daily activities within a day after the treatment, which, in most cases, only requires less than a 24-hour recovery period. In comparison, the recovery time needed after scalpel and suture surgery is around 2 to 4 weeks, with many patients enduring considerable pain and swelling.
- Gum regeneration without foreign materials. The PerioLase dental laser will stimulate your body’s healing response, meaning our LANAP dentist in Montclair does not need to use foreign growth factors.
- Healthy gums with minimal recession. When your gums are cut, the tissue shrinks and can reveal more of your tooth’s root. The LANAP protocol does not require cutting your gums, therefore, the soft tissue stays intact.
- Better, longer-lasting results. 95 percent of patients who choose a laser dentist for gum disease display stable periodontal health.
- Safe for patients with certain health problems. If you take medications like anticoagulants or suffer from diabetes, HIV, or hemophilia, you may still be a candidate for the LANAP protocol. Schedule your appointment today to determine whether this option is right for you.
- Increase your life expectancy. Laser therapy for gum disease may do more than improve your oral health. It may play a role in reducing your C-reactive protein and lowering a factor called glycated hemoglobin, which minimizes your risk of diabetes. If you have diabetes, the LANAP procedure may even increase your lifespan.

Difference Between LANAP and Traditional Gum Surgery
If you have moderate to severe periodontal disease, your gums have likely begun pulling away from your teeth, creating pockets. These pockets deepen as the disease progresses, causing eventual bone loss. How conventional perio surgery and PerioLase address them differ greatly.
In traditional gum surgery, a dentist will scrape the inside of those pockets, trying to prevent bone loss since the infected bone will not grow back.
If you choose PerioLase, your periodontist can create a stable environment where your oral cavity can regenerate on its own. Having a very high success rate in gum reconstruction, this procedure can stimulate your gums to reattach to teeth.
An Overview of Your LANAP Procedure
Our Montclair periodontist at Cunning Dental Group will:
- Examine your gums and measure periodontal pockets.
- Use the laser light from the PerioLase MVP-7 to eliminate the infected tissue and destroy the bacteria beneath your gum line.
- Use ultrasonic scalers and other dental equipment to remove hard calcified deposits called tartar or calculus.
- Mold pockets to inhibit the formation of new tartar.
- Use the laser light again to connect gum tissue back to the tooth root.
- Seal periodontal pockets with fibrin clots, which prevents new oral bacteria from entering and provides a sterile environment for your body to begin the healing process.
- Adjust your bite for added protection against bone loss from bite trauma.
A Good Candidate for Laser Periodontal Treatment
If you have moderate to severe gum disease, and especially if you are fearful of conventional scalpel surgery, you can greatly benefit from the LANAP protocol.

The Dangers of Untreated Gum Disease
Over 80 percent of American adults have some degree of gum disease, making it one of the most common diseases in the United States. Yet, as few as 60 percent of Americans know they have it. Making matters worse, only 3 percent of people with moderate to severe gum disease will accept treatment — mostly due to fears and anxieties. If left untreated, periodontal disease can cause recession, loss of bone, and ultimately, permanent tooth loss. If you suspect or know that you have gum disease, getting treatment now can save your smile.

LAPIP Montclair, CA
Save Your Dental Implants Without Surgery
When the connective tissue (gums) around your dental implant becomes inflamed, the post can loosen, compromising the stability of your restoration and smile.
If you have an infected implant, don’t wait until it’s too late. Cunning Dental Group uses the LAPIP® protocol’s advanced laser technology to address infection around implants and encourage regeneration of tissue and bone.
FACT
LAPIP Blast Protocol has been proven to get implants into a healthier state, getting rid of bacteria and allowing for bone regeneration.
Call (855) 328-6646 to schedule your LAPIP treatment in Southern California.
Why is your dental implant infected?
Ideally, every dental implant procedure is successful and long-lasting. Sadly, this is not always the case, as dental implant complications do happen. This is a form of gum disease referred to as “peri-implantitis.”
Sometimes, dental implants can become infected under the gum line, which can lead to bone loss around the implant. In other cases, the infection can cause loss of the implant itself. Complications can occur due to many factors, including the medications you take, a systemic ailment, poor oral hygiene, having low-quality implants, and simply enough, even aging can result in peri-implantitis.
What is LAPIP infected implant treatment?
Until recently, either extensive surgical repair or complete removal of the implant were the only treatments for a failing artificial tooth. The introduction of LAPIP or Laser-Assisted Peri-Implantitis Protocol — an FDA-approved treatment that does not involve a scalpel or stitches to address gum infections — has allowed us to reverse peri-implantitis through a minimally invasive approach. Unlike conventional techniques, this breakthrough method can both treat gum disease and regenerate new bone around the affected implant.

B. Laser vaporizes bacteria, diseased tissue, pathologic proteins, and titanium corrosion contaminants in soft tissue.
C. Ultrasonic scaler tips are used to remove surface accretions.
D. Bone is modified at time of surgery.
E. Laser is used to form a stable fibrin blood clot containing stem cells from bone.
F. Adhesion to clean surface, with a stable fibrin clot at the gingival crest to create a 'closed system'.
G. Occlusal trauma is adjusted.
H. New attachment is regenerated.
What are the benefits of the LAPIP protocol?
Take a closer look at the advantages of this highly effective solution for an “ailing” dental implant:
- Keep Your Dental Implant. Infection around an implant can cause your gums to recede (pull away from the post) and damage your implant-supported restoration. Treatment with LAPIP in Montclair, CA can encourage lost tissue to regenerate for a stronger foundation and a healthier smile. In other words, you don’t need to replace your implant.
- No Cut, No Sew, No Fear (Just Greater Comfort). In comparison to conventional treatments for peri-implantitis, LAPIP involves less pain during the procedure itself and throughout recovery. Using laser light energy to kill the bacteria responsible for gum disease, LAPIP can restore your implant health without incisions or sutures.
- Reduces Gum Inflammation and Bleeding. This laser gum treatment effectively targets inflammatory bacteria and damaged tissue without injuring healthy tissue.
- Quick Treatment and Faster Recovery. The LAPIP protocol generally requires one session and most patients recover within a 24-hour period. Traditional treatment for peri-implantitis can involve several surgeries and multiple follow-up appointments. In many cases, a surgical procedure called bone grafting is also necessary.
- Safe for Practically Everyone. LAPIP is safe for people with health issues such as diabetes, hemophilia, HIV, or patients taking medications such as aspirin or Plavix. Schedule your appointment today to find out whether this option is right for you.
- Save Money on Replacing Your Implant
Dental implant revision surgery is not only an extensive procedure, but it can also be very expensive. In comparison, the cost of LAPIP laser gum therapy depends on several factors, including the number of appointments you will need and how many of your implants require treatment. Overall, the cost of treatment with LAPIP is usually less than replacing one or more failed implants.
What is the Success Rate?
According to Millennium Dental Technologies, Inc, the success rate of LAPIP in California is consistent at 95 percent. This means that an outstanding 95 percent of failing dental implants addressed with LAPIP reintegrated into the gum pocket and exhibited greater stability.

Choose a Simpler, More Pocket-Friendly Way to Save Your Implants
Laser-assisted peri-implantitis procedure is an excellent alternative to traditional methods since the process for replacing a failed implant is complex and commands multiple treatments, including implant removal, bone grafting, and placement of a new dental implant. In most cases, a new restoration is necessary as well. In less severe cases, conventional remedies for peri-implantitis can focus on removing the diseased tissue, however, this option demands several visits and follow-ups.
In contrast, treating peri-implantitis with LAPIP in California generally requires a single trip to our office, saving you time and money.
