Clinically Reviewed by Partha Dental Team
Last Modified: 18th August 2025

So, you’re having a bit of a gum problem, and your dentist has recommended laser gum surgery. And now, like the majority of people these days, you’re thinking:

” Okay… but what will the laser gum surgery cost? Will it hurt? And how long will it take to heal?”

All valid concerns! At Partha Dental, we meet with patients each week who arrive feeling anxious about gum surgery, and that’s often because they’ve heard the old-fashioned “cut and stitch” horror stories.

Here’s the good news. Laser gum surgery is a very different experience. It’s shorter, less invasive and, in most cases, totally painless. In this article, we will help walk you through what the procedure is like, the laser gum surgery cost in India, what to expect after the procedure, and why more and more patients are choosing procedures like LANAP gum surgeryfor better results.

1. What is Laser Gum Surgery?

Laser gum surgery is a modernized version of traditional gum therapy. Rather than use metal tools and scalpels, dentists employ a detailed beam of light (laser) to remove diseased tissue and bacteria around your teeth.

One of the newest and most advanced techniques is known as LANAP gum surgery(Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure). The laser carefully decontaminates all infected tissues, which is also the initial step to allowing your gums to reattach to your teeth.

At Partha Dental, our specialists can perform this as apainless gum surgery. This means less bleeding, less swelling, and a much faster recovery time.

2. The Laser Gum Surgical Procedure – Step by Step

So, you might be thinking, “That sounds scary,” but this is what happens during the lasergum surgical procedure:

1. Consultation and Preparation.

The first step is to do a complete gum health evaluation. This may include X-rays and measuring how deep the gum pockets are. The purpose is to know exactly where and how much treatment you need.

2. Numbing.

Even though laser energy is gentle, we will give you local anaesthesia so you are completely relaxed and comfortable.

3. Laser Cleaning.

A very small laser tip is inserted into the infected area. The light energy targets and removes bacteria and diseased tissue, while healthy tissue and gums are left in place.

4. Deep Cleaning (Scaling and Root Planing).

Once the area is laser cleaned, we will be able to remove any calculus or plaque even below the gums, which are the home for bacteria.

5. Healing Aid.

During LANAP gum surgery, the laser stimulates natural healing and will also promote bone regeneration.

6. Bite Adjustment

Sometimes, we will need to make slight modifications to your bite, to ensure that there’s no excess pressure on the healing gums.

And just like that — it’s over. Most patients are surprised at how fast, and easy, everything has gone.

Why People Prefer Laser Instead of Traditional Gum Surgery

  • No scalpels, no stitches — less trauma to your gums
  • Faster recovery — often patients are back to normal in a week or two
  • Less pain and swelling — many patients only take mild painkillers after
  • More accurately, only the affected tissue is treated
  • Sterile treatment — the laser instantly kills bacteria

3. Gum Surgery – Laser Cost in India

So, you’ve come for the answer, the cost of laser gum surgery in India.

The cost will vary based on the following considerations:

1. The severity of your gum disease – mild disease will cost less than advanced disease

2. Type of laser treatment – standard gum surgery or LANAP

3. Dentist’s experience – a specialist may charge a bit more for their more skilled treatment

4. City or location of clinic – locations like Hyderabad and Bangalore will charge more than smaller cities

Treatment AreaAverage Cost Range (India)
Per Quadrant (¼ of the mouth)₹8,000 – ₹15,000
Full Mouth Treatment₹30,000 – ₹60,000

At Partha Dental, we are transparent with you regarding costs and offer competitive packages, as we believe that gum health should not be a luxury.

4. Jaw Care Post Laser Surgery

Gum surgery is only half the battle. Post gum surgery is equally important!

Here is what we tell our patients to do.

1. Soft Foods

  For a few days, enjoy soups, mashed potatoes, yogurt, smoothies – basically anything that doesn’t require lots of chewing.

2. Mouth Cleanliness

  Use an antibacterial mouthwash as directed.  Do not brush/lace your tongue directly on the treated areas for about a week.

3. Do not smoke or use alcohol!

  These two can slow down the process of tissue healing and increase of infection.

4. Follow-Up Appointments

Do not forget to go! Your dentist will want to follow up with you to check if your gums are healing well and may need to adjust your care plan.

5. Gentle Brushing in 1 Week

After a week, you can start brushing your teeth again, but only with a soft bristletooth brush around the treated areas and be gentle.

5. LANAP Gum Surgery vs Traditional Gum Surgery

How to Make Laser Gum Surgery More Reasonable

We understand the cost of laser gum surgery can be overwhelming for some. Here are some helpful tips:

  • Regular dental cleanings = no service means no surgery
  • Ask about EMI programs – Partha Dental offers EMI’s to ease any financial constraints.
  • Identify priority areas for treatment – if your budget is strict, receive treatment for the most infected areas first.
