Reverse Gum Disease Damage
with LANAP Laser Therapy
Laser Gum Treatment
Offers Gentle Solutions
If you’re struggling with gum disease, you’re not alone—the CDC estimates about half of the adults in the US have some form of gum disease. Symptoms like bleeding gums, bad breath, and tooth sensitivity can significantly impact your quality of life. Without treatment, gum disease can progress and cause permanent damage to the ligaments and bone sockets that support your teeth.
At Magic Smile Dental, we help with early gingivitis treatment options and LANAP laser gum disease treatment in Linden, NJ! This innovative procedure targets and removes diseased tissue while promoting the regeneration of healthy gum tissue, reversing the damage of periodontal disease and potentially saving your smile.

Traditional Surgery Vs. Laser Gum Surgery
Gum disease surgery often requires cutting and stitching, which can lead to a longer and more uncomfortable recovery. While it’s an effective periodontitis treatment, many patients are hesitant due to how invasive it is and how much time recovery takes.
LANAP laser gum disease treatment offers a modern alternative, using laser technology to precisely target diseased tissue while preserving healthy gums. This means less pain, quicker healing, and a more predictable approach. The cost of LANAP can sometimes be slightly higher than osseous surgery, but we offer flexible financing options to make it affordable.
What Is the LANAP Process?
LANAP is a highly effective periodontal disease treatment that can restore your oral health and protect your smile. It can be done in the comfort of a practice you already know and love. The LANAP process at Magic Smile Dental begins with a thorough evaluation to determine the extent of your gum disease. We will use a specialized laser to remove bacteria and infected tissue while keeping healthy tissue intact during the procedure. We will remove any debris left behind using ultrasonic scalers that break up hardened tartar and flush out the gum pocket. We’ll also adjust the bone to create the most favorable conditions for bone regeneration.
Finally, we’ll apply the laser again at a setting that stimulates healthy cells and creates a seal in the gums, reducing bleeding and speeding up the healing process. After the procedure, our team will provide you with personalized care instructions to ensure the best possible outcome. If you’ve already lost some teeth to periodontal disease, we can also rebuild your smile with dental implants once your gum health has stabilized.
