Laser Gum Surgery in Hauppauge & Medford, NY

What is laser gum surgery?

Laser gum surgery uses focused light energy to treat gum disease, remove diseased tissue, reduce bacteria, and stimulate regeneration of the gum line and underlying bone. Unlike traditional gum surgery — which often involves cutting with scalpels and sutures — laser therapy allows for precise targeting of affected areas with less swelling, pain, and bleeding.

Our periodontists specialize in LANAP (Laser-Assisted New Attachment Protocol) — the only FDA-cleared laser gum surgery scientifically proven to regenerate bone and reattach healthy gum tissue — along with LAR (Laser-Assisted Regeneration) and LAPIP treatments for peri-implantitis. We use the PerioLase MVP-7, delivering seven unique pulse modes for highly customized periodontal treatments.

What laser gum surgery treats

• Periodontitis — chronic gum disease that destroys gum tissue and bone.
• Gum recession — loss of gum tissue exposing tooth roots.
• Peri-implantitis — infection around dental implants.
• Tooth decay & bone loss — often linked to untreated gum infection.
• Gummy smile — lasers can reshape the gum line for improved aesthetics.
• Crown lengthening — prepares teeth for restorative work.

Your laser gum procedure

1. Initial consultation

A full oral exam, X-rays, and a conversation with one of our experienced periodontists.

2. Local anesthesia

The treated area is numbed to ensure a comfortable, pain-free experience.

3. Laser-assisted treatment

The laser removes diseased tissue and kills bacteria, reaching deep into periodontal pockets to disinfect and stimulate healing.

4. Regeneration & recovery

Treatment stimulates your body's natural healing — encouraging reattachment of healthy gum tissue and promoting bone regeneration.
