No Cut, No Sew, No Fear
At Tuttle Family Dentistry in Colorado Springs, we offer advanced LAPIP laser treatment to help patients address peri-implantitis and potentially save failing dental implants—without surgery. If you’ve been told your only option is implant removal or dentures, our team may have a minimally invasive solution worth exploring.
LAPIP (Laser-Assisted Peri-Implantitis Procedure) is a specialized laser therapy designed to treat infected or failing dental implants caused by gum inflammation or bone loss (peri-implantitis). It uses the FDA-cleared PerioLase® MVP-7 laser to remove infection, kill bacteria, and stimulate your body’s natural healing—no scalpels or stitches required.
LAPIP avoids traditional surgery by using laser light to selectively remove infected tissue, preserving healthy gum and bone.
The laser targets and destroys bacteria that cause peri-implantitis, stopping infection at its source.
Unlike other treatments that may remove bone, LAPIP promotes regrowth of the bone and tissue surrounding the implant.
Clinical studies show that more than 90% of implants treated with LAPIP stabilize without surgical intervention or removal.
With no cutting or sutures, most patients experience minimal discomfort and quicker recovery.
If you’ve been told your implant is failing or your only option is dentures, call Tuttle Family Dentistry to schedule a consultation with Dr. Tuttle. You may have more options than you think—including saving your current implant.

In addition to LAPIP for implants, we offer LANAP laser therapy for patients with moderate to severe gum disease. This minimally invasive procedure removes harmful bacteria, encourages bone and tissue regeneration, and protects your natural teeth from further damage.
Benefits of LANAP at Tuttle Family Dentistry:
Whether you’re dealing with gum disease or failing implants, laser dentistry offers a chance to avoid more aggressive surgical treatments.
Peri-implantitis is an infection of the gums and bone surrounding a dental implant. Left untreated, it can lead to bone loss and implant failure. Signs include bleeding gums, swelling, and discomfort around the implant.
In many cases, yes. LAPIP can eliminate infection and encourage bone regrowth, helping to stabilize a failing implant. While results vary, over 90% of LAPIP-treated implants remain stable long term.
LAPIP uses the FDA-cleared PerioLase MVP-7 laser, the same technology approved for LANAP. It is a clinically supported, minimally invasive treatment for peri-implantitis.
Both use the same laser technology to remove infection and promote healing.
Most patients need only one or two sessions of LAPIP or LANAP, each lasting 2–3 hours. Recovery is typically faster and more comfortable than traditional gum surgery.
If you’ve been diagnosed with gum disease or implant failure, laser therapy may be a safe, effective treatment option. Call Tuttle Family Dentistry to see if LANAP or LAPIP is right for you.
Whether you're concerned about losing a dental implant or struggling with advanced gum disease, you don’t have to face it alone. At Tuttle Family Dentistry in Colorado Springs, we specialize in laser dental therapy that helps you heal faster and preserve your smile longer.
