What Our Patients Say

Committed to your results

"My husband had a very good experience with Dr. Gallardo’s LANAP (Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure). We can already see a difference in his gums and had our first post operative visit today which was done by his assistants. They did an amazing job answering our questions but was a little surprised that we were not seen by Dr. Gallardo himself on a first post visit."

"I had an excellent experience at Dr. John Gallardo’s office during my LANAP procedure. From the very beginning, I felt I was in good hands—the staff was professional, attentive, and careful every step of the way. The procedure was much more comfortable than I expected, and the recovery has been quick. I highly recommend his office to anyone in need of specialized periodontal treatment."

"I have been coming to Dr. Gallardo office for almost 2 years. I had the Lanap surgery and it has been a total success and the best investment I’ve ever made, my gums, my teeth my overall mouth feels healthy. My taste buds, breath is so much better after the surgery. Daniel who is my dental hygienist is the best in the game and always goes above and beyond. Forever grateful to have found this wonderful office."

"Dr.Gallardos office is amazing. I will recommend to everyone I know who may need it. I had the LANAP procedure and it really changed my life. My gums and teeth are so much healthier. The team is very professional and so is Dr.Gallardo as well. Rosmery is a great dental tech who made me feel very comfortable."

The LANAP Treatment Process

LANAP is completed in four carefully guided steps:

Step 1

Anesthesia

We’ll apply local anesthetic to keep you comfortable throughout the procedure.

Step 1

Step 2

Initial Laser Treatment

A gentle laser targets and removes bacteria and diseased tissue, while leaving healthy gum intact.

Step 2

Step 3

Tartar Removal

Using ultrasonic scalers and hand instruments, we remove hardened plaque (tartar) from the root surfaces.

Step 4

Final Laser Cleaning and Sealing

The laser is used again to clean and seal the pockets—creating a barrier against bacteria and helping your gums heal naturally.

Here’s How We Make It Easy

Let’s revisit your treatment plan – We’ll walk through what’s next, where things stand, and what’s changed since your last visit.
Choose the path that works for you – Whether it’s timing, payment, or comfort, we’ll adjust the experience to fit your life.
Move forward with confidence – From scheduling to sedation to follow-up care, our team handles the details—so you can focus on healing.

Why Following Through Matters

When treatment is delayed, oral conditions can progress. What starts as a fixable concern can become more complex—and more expensive—down the road.
Gum disease won’t improve on its own. Left untreated, it can lead to bone loss, loose teeth, and infection. LANAP helps you stop that process—without the pain, fear, or downtime of traditional surgery.

No pressure. If it’s something you want to talk through, we are here for a conversation about what’s best for you.

Comfort Comes Standard

We offer sedation options for any treatment, large or small, and we’ll talk through what to expect so there are no surprises. Patients often tell us, “That was easier than I imagined.”

Don’t Let Payment Be the Barrier

We accept most major insurance plans and offer flexible payment options so you can prioritize your health without added stress. You’ll know costs up front—and we’ll work with you to make it fit.

Your Health, Your Call

We’re not here to pressure you. We’re here when you’re ready. If your needs have changed, or if you just want to talk—we’re happy to revisit the plan and help you decide what’s next.
