The soft tissues in your mouth support your teeth, shape your smile, and affect how you eat and speak. When these tissues become irritated, inflamed, or infected, it can cause discomfort and affect daily activities. Soft-tissue laser therapy (LANAP®) provides a precise, minimally invasive way to remove unhealthy tissue and promote healing. Unlike traditional treatments that require cutting and stitches, LANAP® targets problem areas accurately, reducing discomfort and recovery time. It is an effective option for treating gum disease, reshaping tissues, and addressing sores inside the mouth.
At Enso Dental Arts, Dr. Hiruma and her team focus on treatments that improve both health and comfort. LANAP® allows us to restore soft tissues with minimal disruption to your daily life. Our team takes the time to explain every step, ensuring you feel informed and confident in your care. If you have concerns about gum disease, tissue irritation, or other soft tissue issues, we’re here to help.
Soft-tissue lasers are more gentle, less invasive, and help you recover faster than traditional dental tools like scalpels. Thanks to our investment in modern laser tools, our dentists can provide faster, simpler, and more precise treatment for our patients.

The first dental laser was approved by the FDA in 1990, and was a soft tissue laser primarily used for periodontal (gum) treatment.
Soft-tissue laser therapy (LANAP®) offers a precise, minimally invasive solution for treating gum disease, reshaping soft tissues, and accelerating healing. Unlike traditional methods that rely on cutting and sutures, LANAP® uses laser energy to accurately target problem areas, leading to a more comfortable experience and faster recovery.
Traditional soft-tissue treatments often involve cutting and sutures, which can lead to discomfort and longer recovery times. With LANAP®, laser technology removes diseased or excess tissue without causing unnecessary trauma, making the procedure far more comfortable.
Healing after a procedure can be a concern, but soft-tissue laser therapy (LANAP®) helps the body recover more efficiently. Because it minimizes tissue damage and reduces inflammation, most patients experience a faster, smoother recovery with little to no downtime.
One of the key advantages of LANAP® is its ability to cauterize as it treats, significantly reducing bleeding and post-treatment swelling. This means a more comfortable experience during and after the procedure, with fewer side effects.
Conventional methods may remove damaged and healthy tissue, impacting long-term oral health. Soft-tissue laser therapy (LANAP®) is exact, treating only the affected areas while preserving surrounding tissue for better overall results.
Many patients worry about pain during soft-tissue treatments, but LANAP® makes the process far more tolerable. The laser’s precision reduces the need for anesthesia, and most patients report little to no discomfort during or after the procedure.
Beyond removing diseased tissue, LANAP® stimulates the body’s natural healing process. This can help regenerate healthy tissue and encourage gums to reattach to the teeth, leading to improved long-term oral health.
LANAP® can treat more than gum disease and is also effective for shaping gumlines, removing excess tissue, and treating soft-tissue lesions like cold sores. Its versatility makes it a valuable treatment option for various oral health concerns.
Soft-Tissue Laser Therapy (LANAP®) is a minimally invasive treatment designed to address periodontal disease. Unlike traditional methods that involve cutting and suturing, LANAP® utilizes a specialized laser to selectively remove diseased tissue while preserving healthy gum structures. This approach aims to reduce discomfort, minimize bleeding, and promote faster healing for patients.
During the LANAP® procedure, our periodontist, Dr. Chen, uses a pulsed laser to eliminate infected tissue and bacteria from periodontal pockets without harming surrounding healthy tissue. This laser treatment sterilizes the affected area and stimulates the regeneration of supporting tissues, including the periodontal ligament and alveolar bone. Studies have shown that LANAP® can significantly reduce periodontal pocket depth and improve clinical outcomes.
Recovery following LANAP® is typically swift, with patients experiencing less post-operative pain and swelling than conventional approaches. The procedure’s minimally invasive nature allows for the preservation of healthy tissue, leading to more stable and long-lasting results. At Enso Dental Arts, we are committed to providing advanced, patient-centered care.
