Q: My new dentist tells me I need work under my gums and is trying to convince me to have laser (LANAP) treatment. Is this treatment worth the cost of close to $5000?
A: I am a Periodontist who does LANAP all the time. If you have an accurate diagnosis and are a candidate for the LANAP procedure, then it could very well be the correct treatment. You should have a full mouth series of x-rays and a complete periodontal charting to confirm the treatment plan. Are you seeing a Periodontist?
