Average Cost for LANAP
As the only FDA-approved laser treatment for managing periodontal disease, along with a growing body of research that supports the efficacy of its administration, LANAP has become one of the most effective treatment options for addressing gum disease.
Although the cost of treating gum disease is an important consideration, it is also important to consider the costs you may incur if you do not address gum disease. If left untreated, gum disease will continue to progress in severity, and may reach the point where you will begin to experience significant gum recession and/or the loss of teeth. In addition to the negative impact losing teeth can have on your quality of life, in that your speech will be affected, you may feel more self-conscious about your smile, and you will be limited in the types of food you can eat, you also increase your risk of developing physical issues such as diabetes, stroke, heart disease, rheumatoid arthritis, or dementia to name a few.
While factoring in the total cost of treatment, it is important to keep in mind the ancillary costs that will be incurred in developing your treatment plan and determining whether LANAP is necessary for your particular case.
Additional factors that will impact the total cost of treatment include:
- Whether you have dental insurance, and if so, whether LANAP is covered and/or how much is covered
- Any preparatory procedures that need to be performed prior to LANAP
- Severity of your case
