Introducing LANAP - gum surgery without scalpel or stitches.

Approximately 75% of American adults over age 35 have periodontal disease, and until now, the only cure was surgical treatment that was very painful, invasive and time consuming - and often resulting in exposed roots, an unappealing smile and slow healing.

Dr. Tom Schoen is one of just two dentists in Minnesota to be fully trained and licensed to perform Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure (LANAP) - an amazing breakthrough that offers significantly-improved results in less time and with minimal discomfort - and you get to keep your smile!

"LANAP is improving gum surgery the same way that LASIK revolutionized eye surgery," says Dr. Schoen. "The laser eliminates diseased tissue while preserving healthy gums, so scalpels and sutures are eliminated, discomfort is minimized, and the results are exceptional."

Gum disease is more than bad breath and lost teeth.



Chronic oral infections mean that bleeding gums allow harmful bacteria flow through your bloodstream to other parts of your body, contributing to a variety of serious health problems, including:

  • Hardening of the arteries
  • Diabetes
  • Cancer
  • Stroke
  • Pre-term births - pregnant women with gum disease are 7-8 times more likely to give birth to prematurely to low-birth-weight babies.

Please remember that gum disease begins with painless infections and often no visible signs or symptoms, so it's important to have your dentist complete a thorough assessment and provide recommendations to prevent or reduce your chance of infection.
