Minimal downtime compared to traditional surgery
If you have been diagnosed with gum disease and feel concerned about traditional surgical treatment, you are not alone. Many patients delay periodontal care because they worry about discomfort, downtime, or long recovery periods. LANAP® periodontal disease treatment in Colmar, PA, offers a laser-assisted option that may reduce some of these concerns while addressing moderate to severe periodontal disease.
LANAP stands for Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure. The LANAP protocol represents the cutting edge of regenerative dentistry. Utilizing the Nd:YAG pulsed laser, our team performs a “no-scalpel” procedure that targets infection with microscopic precision. For our Philadelphia patients, this means a faster, more comfortable recovery and the preservation of healthy tissue that traditional surgery often sacrifices.
The LANAP Advantage:
Most patients return to normal daily activities within a short period after LANAP. Mild soreness, sensitivity, or swelling can occur and is typically manageable with recommended care.
During healing, patients are often advised to:
Healing timelines vary, and your dental team will provide personalized guidance and check progress over time.
LANAP is commonly classified as periodontal therapy. Coverage varies depending on your dental plan, treatment needs, and insurance policies. Our team helps patients understand their benefits and discusses financing options when needed, so there are no surprises before care begins.
Our caring and trusted Colmar dental team focuses on comfort, education, and lasting results.

I had the LANAP surgery done over the weekend and was there today for my follow-up. Dr. Dudhat and Courtney were amazing! I have some recovery to go, but my smile couldn’t thank both of them enough!
Extremely happy with the office and their service. Very accommodating to your dental needs with vast knowledge and experience in dentistry. I had a great outcome from my LANAP, Invisalign, and implants treatments. They were able to finish treatment in time for the long vacation.
I had LANAP surgery and INVISALIGN braces and am extremely happy with the results. They even have the most up-to-date laser wand to 3D ‘video’ my teeth when I needed a new retainer. AWESOME!

Initial healing often occurs within days, with ongoing tissue changes over several weeks. Many patients return to normal activities quickly, though dietary and hygiene modifications are recommended temporarily. Follow-up visits allow our dentist to monitor healing and ensure the gums are responding appropriately.
Adults with moderate to severe periodontal disease who want a less invasive treatment option may be candidates for LANAP. A comprehensive periodontal exam is required to determine suitability. Factors such as pocket depth, bone levels, and overall health are considered before making a recommendation.
