Minimally Invasive Care for Gum Disease and More
At our practice, we use the PerioLase® MVP-7™, a state-of-the-art dental laser, to treat periodontal disease and promote natural healing with minimal discomfort. This advanced laser technology powers the LANAP/LAR® protocol (Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure and Laser Assisted Regeneration), the only FDA-cleared laser treatment clinically proven to regenerate bone and soft tissue lost to periodontitis.
Whether you're dealing with bleeding gums, deep pockets, or advanced gum disease, PerioLase offers a gentler, more precise alternative to traditional gum surgery.
What Is PerioLase MVP-7?
The PerioLase MVP-7 is a free-running pulsed Nd:YAG laser that uses a specific wavelength (1064 nm) to selectively target and remove infected gum tissue and bacteria—without harming healthy tissue. It also helps stimulate the regeneration of bone and ligaments around your teeth.
It is most widely known for its role in the LANAP® and LAR protocol, a minimally invasive procedure for treating moderate to severe gum disease.

What Can It Treat?
- Moderate to advanced periodontal (gum) disease
- Deep gum pockets with bone loss
- Failing dental implants (through the LAPIP® protocol)
- Cosmetic gum recontouring
- Frenectomy or fibroma removal
- Gingival depigmentation
- Peri-implantitis
- Targeted bacterial decontamination in high-risk patient
Why We Use It
Dr. Sakhai utilizes the PerioLase MVP-7 because it represents a cutting-edge, tissue-sparing approach to managing periodontal disease. It allows for better outcomes, shorter recovery times, and real tissue regeneration—not just disease control.
This laser is also ideal for patients who may not be candidates for traditional periodontal surgery due to health conditions, medication use, or dental anxiety.
What Is LANAP®?
LANAP (Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure) is a patented protocol using the PerioLase MVP-7 to treat gum disease without cutting or suturing the gums. It targets the bacteria and infected tissues while preserving healthy tissue, helping the body naturally regenerate bone and periodontal support.
