What Is LAPIP Laser Periodontal Therapy?
LAPIP is an advanced laser treatment designed to treat peri-implantitis and periodontal infections around dental implants and natural teeth.
Unlike traditional gum surgery, this approach uses a specialized dental laser to remove bacteria and diseased tissue without cutting or sutures. This results in a more comfortable experience and faster healing.
How LAPIP Works
The laser energy selectively eliminates harmful bacteria deep within periodontal pockets while stimulating the body’s natural healing response.
This process also promotes regeneration of bone and connective tissue, helping stabilize teeth and implants.
Benefits of LAPIP Treatment
Patients often choose LAPIP laser therapy because it offers several advantages over conventional methods:
- Minimally invasive with no scalpels or stitches
- Reduced discomfort during and after treatment
- Faster recovery and healing time
- Preservation of healthy gum tissue
- Lower risk of gum recession
- Effective treatment for peri-implantitis and advanced gum disease
Who Is a Candidate for LAPIP?
LAPIP is ideal for patients experiencing symptoms of periodontal disease or complications around dental implants.
You may benefit from this treatment if you have:
- Bleeding or swollen gums
- Deep periodontal pockets
- Loose teeth or implants
- Persistent bad breath (halitosis)
- Bone loss around teeth or implants
During your consultation, our dental team will evaluate your oral health and determine if laser periodontal therapy is the best solution for your needs.
What to Expect During Treatment
LAPIP procedures are typically completed in a comfortable, outpatient setting.
Most patients experience minimal discomfort, and because the procedure is less invasive, downtime is significantly reduced compared to traditional gum surgery. Many individuals return to normal activities within a day or two.
