Dental implants are an investment in your health and confidence, but like natural teeth, they require care. Peri-implant disease, an infection in the tissue around implants, can put that investment at risk.
The LAPIP™ protocol is a breakthrough laser procedure designed to treat failing or infected implants without cutting or stitches. With success rates of up to 95% in stabilizing implants, LAPIP™ helps patients preserve their smile and avoid replacement surgery.
What is the LAPIP Protocol?
Without Treatment, You Risk:
-
Ongoing bone loss
-
Implant loosening or falling out
-
Infection spreading to nearby teeth
What Causes It?
-
Poor oral hygiene
-
Smoking or grinding
-
Underlying conditions like diabetes or osteoporosis
-
Previous gum disease
Understanding the #1 Cause of Implant Failure
Peri-implantitis is an infection that forms in the gum and bone around a dental implant. Early signs may include swelling, bleeding, or gum recession — but over time, the infection can cause the implant to lose its grip and fail completely.
LAPIP Procedure Steps
Proven FDA-Cleared Technology
LAPIP™ is performed under local anesthetic, often in the same visit as diagnosis. The procedure is gentle, with a laser fiber about the width of three hairs inserted around the implant to eliminate infection and stimulate healing.
Most patients return to daily activities the same or next day with simple guidelines:
-
No brushing or flossing the treated area for one week.
-
Soft diet as recommended.
-
Avoid smoking during recovery.
Our team will monitor your progress with follow-up visits and adjust care as needed.
How LAPIP Works
Stops Disease Progression
LAPIP halts the spread of peri-implant disease by removing harmful bacteria before they can cause further damage.
Preserves Healthy
Gum Tissue
The laser precisely targets diseased areas while leaving your healthy gums intact, helping maintain your natural smile.
Encourages New
Bone Growth
By creating the right environment for healing, LAPIP stimulates your body’s natural ability to regenerate bone around the implant.
Minimizes Gum Recession
Unlike traditional surgery, LAPIP avoids cutting and stitches, reducing gum loss and protecting the look of your smile.
Provides a Comfortable Recovery
Most patients experience less pain and quicker healing compared to other surgical treatments, often returning to daily activities within a day.
Safe for Medically-Compromised Patients
Because LAPIP doesn’t rely on foreign materials or grafts, it is safe for patients with conditions like diabetes, heart disease, or those taking blood thinners.
