See the Top 10 How we rank

LANAP (Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure) is an FDA-cleared laser treatment for periodontitis that uses the PerioLase MVP-7 dental laser to vaporise bacteria deep within periodontal pockets while leaving healthy tissue intact. Unlike traditional gum surgery, LANAP requires no cutting, no sutures, and minimal recovery time. A tiny fibre about the width of three human hairs is inserted between the gum tissue and tooth to target and destroy diseased tissue. The procedure has been used successfully in Australia since 2011 and has FDA approval for periodontal regeneration.

We ranked Australia's top LANAP laser clinics based on six criteria: verified LANAP certification through the Institute for Advanced Laser Dentistry, PerioLase MVP-7 laser ownership, AHPRA registration, periodontal specialist qualifications, published pricing, and Google review scores. Every clinic on this list has a verified website and contactable phone number as of July 2026.

When do you need LANAP laser treatment?

LANAP is needed for moderate to severe [gum disease](https://fascinatingdentistry.com/australia/gum-disease-treatment/) where periodontal pockets are too deep for routine cleaning to resolve. The procedure targets bacteria and diseased tissue within the periodontal pocket while preserving healthy gum tissue. LANAP is particularly suited for patients who fear traditional gum surgery or have health concerns that make conventional surgery risky.

The LANAP protocol uses the PerioLase MVP-7 dental laser, a specific wavelength that targets pigmented bacteria and inflamed tissue. The laser fibre is inserted into the periodontal pocket where it vaporises bacteria and removes diseased tissue. Blood clots then form to seal the pocket, creating an environment for periodontal ligament and bone regeneration.

LANAP is suitable for patients with moderate to severe periodontitis, patients with health concerns including diabetes, HIV, haemophilia, or those taking blood thinners, and patients wanting faster recovery than conventional surgery offers. It is not suitable for patients without periodontal disease or those with early-stage gingivitis that can be resolved with professional teeth cleaning alone.

For patients with advanced periodontitis requiring specialist care, consult a qualified periodontist to determine whether LANAP or conventional periodontal surgery is most appropriate. Some cases may also require gum graft surgery for tissue recession alongside laser treatment.

$150 - $350 Initial consultation and assessment

How do you choose a LANAP laser clinic in Australia?

Selecting the right LANAP clinic requires verifying laser certification and experience. Ask these 5 questions during your consultation.

  1. 1Is the dentist LANAP-certified through the Institute for Advanced Laser Dentistry? LANAP certification requires specialised training through the IALD. Verify the dentist has completed the certification programme before proceeding with treatment.
  2. 2Does the clinic own a PerioLase MVP-7 laser? The PerioLase MVP-7 is the only FDA-cleared laser for the LANAP protocol. Clinics using alternative lasers cannot perform the official LANAP procedure.
  3. 3How many LANAP procedures has the dentist performed? Experience with the laser protocol directly affects treatment outcomes. Ask about the dentist's case volume and success rates.
  4. 4What is the total cost including all follow-up visits? Request an itemised quote covering the laser treatment, follow-up reviews, and ongoing maintenance visits. Confirm what is included.
  5. 5What post-treatment maintenance is required? Periodontal maintenance every 3 to 6 months is essential after LANAP. Confirm the clinic provides ongoing maintenance care.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is LANAP laser treatment?
LANAP is an FDA-cleared laser protocol using the PerioLase MVP-7 to treat periodontitis without cutting or sutures. The laser targets diseased tissue and bacteria while preserving healthy gum tissue. It has been used in Australia since 2011.
How much does LANAP cost in Australia?
LANAP costs $4,000 to $8,000 for full mouth treatment. Per quadrant costs $1,200 to $2,500. Read our dental costs guide for details.
Is LANAP painful?
LANAP is performed under local anaesthetic. Patients report significantly less discomfort than traditional gum surgery. Most return to normal activities the same day. No cutting or sutures means less pain, bleeding, and swelling.
How long does LANAP take?
LANAP treatment is typically completed in two sessions of approximately 2 hours each, treating one half of the mouth per session. Sessions are scheduled 1 to 2 weeks apart.
Is LANAP better than traditional gum surgery?
LANAP offers faster healing, less discomfort, no cutting or sutures, and minimal gum recession compared to traditional surgery. However, some complex cases may still require conventional periodontal surgery. A periodontist determines suitability.
Does LANAP regenerate bone?
Yes. LANAP has FDA approval for periodontal regeneration, meaning it can help regrow bone and ligament attachment around teeth. This is a significant advantage over traditional surgery which typically only removes diseased tissue.
Is LANAP safe for patients with health conditions?
LANAP is safe for patients with health concerns including diabetes, HIV, haemophilia, and patients taking blood thinners. The gentle laser protocol reduces surgical risk compared to conventional gum disease treatment.
