LANAP Cost & Financing
Understanding LANAP Costs
LANAP treatment cost varies based on the severity of gum disease, number of teeth affected, extent of bone loss, and overall mouth health. Treatment is often priced per quadrant (quarter of the mouth), so the more areas affected, the more quadrants need treatment.
Generally, LANAP costs are comparable to traditional periodontal surgery. While it is an investment in your oral health, the cost of replacing teeth lost to periodontal disease significantly exceeds the cost of treating the disease early. During your consultation, we provide a detailed, personalized cost estimate.
Insurance Coverage for LANAP
Many PPO dental insurance plans cover LANAP as a periodontal surgery procedure, similar to how they cover traditional gum surgery. Before treatment, our team contacts your insurance company to verify your specific benefits, deductible status, and any pre-authorization requirements. Learn more about our insurance and financing options.
Getting Started: No Hidden Surprises
We believe in transparent pricing. Your initial consultation is complimentary, we verify insurance at no charge, and you receive a detailed written estimate before treatment. There are no hidden fees or surprise charges -- the estimate you receive is what you pay.
Flexible Financing Options
We offer multiple financing options to make LANAP accessible. Do not let cost concerns prevent you from getting the periodontal treatment you need.
CareCredit
A healthcare credit card offering promotional financing with 0% APR for qualified periods (typically 6, 12, or 24 months). Spread your LANAP costs over months without interest charges during the promotional period.
In-House Payment Plans
We offer our own payment plans allowing you to pay for LANAP in installments without needing to apply for external credit. Ask our team about flexible monthly payment options.
HSA & FSA Funds
LANAP is a qualified dental procedure, making it eligible for payment through Health Savings Accounts (HSA) or Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA). Using pre-tax dollars significantly reduces your out-of-pocket costs.
PPO Insurance Coverage
Most PPO plans cover LANAP as a periodontal surgery procedure. Our team verifies your benefits, submits pre-authorization when required, and helps maximize your coverage.
Membership Plan Discounts
Our dental membership plan provides substantial discounts on all services, including LANAP. An excellent option for uninsured patients or those with limited coverage.
Free Consultation
Your initial consultation is complimentary. We examine your mouth, discuss concerns, assess your candidacy, and verify insurance benefits -- all at no cost.
The Cost of NOT Treating Gum Disease
A single lost tooth requires replacement with an implant, bridge, or partial denture -- significantly more expensive than preventing the loss with LANAP.
Severe gum disease often affects multiple teeth. Full mouth implant treatment or dentures are far costlier than early periodontal intervention.
Gum disease is linked to heart disease, stroke, and diabetes complications. Treating these conditions costs far more than preventing them with proper gum disease maintenance.
Waiting until teeth are lost makes future replacement more complicated and expensive. Delayed replacement requires additional procedures like bone grafting.
Untreated gum disease causes progressive bone loss that affects facial structure and reduces the success rate of future dental implants.
When you invest in LANAP now, you are preventing expensive replacements, protecting your overall health, and maintaining your natural smile for years to come.
