LAPIP Laser Treatment in Rosslyn
For Rosslyn residents seeking lapip laser treatment, our board-certified periodontists provide exceptional results at Precision Periodontics & Implant Dentistry in Washington DC. LAPIP (Laser-Assisted Peri-Implantitis Procedure) is a specialized laser protocol that treats peri-implantitis — infection and bone loss around dental implants — using the same PerioLase laser technology as LANAP.
We welcome patients from Rosslyn and surrounding areas to our Washington DC office, conveniently located about 8 minutes away. Peri-implantitis can cause implant failure if left untreated. LAPIP offers a minimally invasive way to decontaminate the implant surface and stimulate bone regeneration without removing the implant.

Our periodontists use the LAPIP protocol to clean the implant surface of bacterial biofilm and diseased tissue, then stimulate a blood clot that promotes bone regeneration around the implant.

Frequently Asked Questions
LAPIP (Laser-Assisted Peri-Implantitis Procedure) FAQ for Rosslyn Patients
What is peri-implantitis and how is it treated with LAPIP?
Peri-implantitis is an inflammatory condition causing bone loss around dental implants — similar to periodontitis around natural teeth. LAPIP uses the same Nd:YAG laser protocol as LANAP to decontaminate the implant surface and stimulate bone regeneration without removing the implant.
How successful is LAPIP at saving failing implants?
Published studies show LAPIP can achieve significant bone regeneration around affected implants, with success rates reported between 85 and 95 percent. Early intervention produces better outcomes — the sooner peri-implantitis is treated, the more bone can be preserved and regenerated.
What are the signs that my dental implant has peri-implantitis?
Warning signs include bleeding or pus around the implant when probing, red or swollen gum tissue, increasing pocket depths around the implant, visible bone loss on X-rays, and implant mobility (a late-stage sign). Regular periodontal maintenance visits are critical for catching these signs early.
How does LAPIP compare to traditional peri-implantitis surgery?
Traditional treatment often involves flap surgery with mechanical or chemical decontamination of the implant surface. LAPIP is less invasive — no incisions, no sutures — and the laser selectively removes infected tissue while forming a stable blood clot that promotes healing. Recovery is faster and more comfortable.
