The cost of LANAP® treatment can vary depending on the severity of gum disease, the number of areas that need treatment, and the specific needs of each patient. Since LANAP is a specialized laser procedure for treating periodontal disease, pricing is typically different from routine dental cleanings or basic treatments.
Several factors can affect the overall cost of LANAP treatment, including:
Because each case is unique, a personalized evaluation is required to determine an accurate treatment estimate.
LANAP can sometimes have a higher upfront cost compared to traditional gum surgery due to the advanced laser technology and specialized training required. However, many patients find that the benefits help justify the investment.
Compared to conventional surgery, LANAP may offer:
Many dental insurance plans may provide partial coverage for LANAP since it is considered a treatment for periodontal disease rather than a cosmetic procedure. Coverage can vary widely depending on the plan and provider.
In some cases, insurance may reimburse LANAP similarly to traditional periodontal surgery. However, patients are encouraged to verify benefits with their insurance provider before beginning treatment.
For patients without full insurance coverage, many dental offices offer flexible financing options or payment plans to help make LANAP more accessible. This allows patients to receive necessary periodontal care without delaying treatment due to cost concerns.
While cost is an important factor, untreated gum disease can lead to more serious and expensive dental problems over time, including tooth loss and bone deterioration. LANAP not only treats infection but also supports long-term oral health and stability.
A consultation is the best way to determine whether LANAP is right for you and to receive a personalized cost estimate based on your condition. Your dental provider can also review insurance benefits and discuss available payment options.
