Lasers in Dentistry – Minimally Invasive Procedures
Dr. Fraser, an authority on laser dentistry, has received extensive training on the PerioLase® MVP-7™ and is certified to teach the LAPIP™ protocol and its sister treatment for periodontitis, the LANAP® protocol. PerioLase MVP-7 laser technology can perform various minimally invasive procedures and are preferable to conventional periodontal surgery, providing patients with more comfortable and convenient treatment with faster recovery times.

Perform frenectomies (such as correction of ankyloglossia)
Perform oral surgery and extractions
LANAP® Protocol
The LANAP® procedure helps avoid the use of traditional surgery and sutures by utilizing specialized lasers to clean out periodontal pockets of bacteria in the gum tissue.

Peri-implantitis is an infection of the surrounding bone and soft tissue of a previously placed dental implant. The symptoms of peri-implantitis are similar to periodontal disease: bleeding around the gums, discoloration, appearance of a long tooth, or visible bone loss on x-rays. It can cause loss of the bone supporting the implant and can be difficult to treat. LAPIP® (Laser Assisted Peri-Implantitis Procedure) is an FDA-cleared procedure that can help regenerate bone and reverse implant disease to save failing implants.
