If you’re searching for laser gum surgery in Manhattan, LANAP therapy at Smile Lab NYC offers a way to reverse periodontal disease without a scalpel. Board-eligible periodontist Dr. Tala Ebrahimian uses gentle laser technology that is pain-free, stitch-free, and backed by faster recovery.
It’s the same evidence-based laser gum disease treatment in Manhattan that leading periodontists across the country now recommend for eligible patients, and it’s the least invasive path to gum disease treatment in Union Square available today.

Gum disease is far more common than most patients expect. According to the CDC, 47.2% of adults aged 30 and older have some form of periodontitis, and that figure rises to more than 70% for adults 65 and older. Only a small fraction of affected patients ever complete active treatment, which is why so many end up losing teeth that could have been saved.
Left untreated, the infection destroys the bone that anchors your teeth, and research summarized by the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research links periodontal disease to heart disease, diabetes complications, and other systemic conditions. Seeing a periodontist early is the single biggest factor in keeping your natural teeth, which is the case Dr. Tala makes to every patient who walks in the door.
If you’ve been told you need periodontal surgery, Dr. Tala Ebrahimian wants you to know there’s another way.
She earned her DDS from The Ohio State University College of Dentistry, then completed her periodontal specialty training at New York University, where she’s a published researcher and one of Manhattan’s few LANAP-certified specialists.
She’s the kind of LANAP dentist NYC patients turn to when they want to keep their natural teeth. Her whole career has centered on one goal: acting as a natural-teeth-saving periodontist in NYC, using the least invasive methods available. As a gum specialist NYC patients trust, she treats every case as a chance to preserve, not replace.
Her background spans a General Practice Residency at NYU Langone Brooklyn Hospital, a Level-1 Trauma Center, through to a full Certificate in Periodontics from New York University. That gives her a depth of clinical experience that is rare.
Her published research on bone regeneration gives her a scientific grounding in exactly what LANAP is designed to do: rebuild the bone gum disease destroys.

LANAP is a specialized form of laser periodontics that should only be performed by a trained periodontist. As a provider of laser periodontics in Manhattan, NY, Dr. Tala Ebrahimian, trained in periodontics at NYU, is LANAP-certified and board-eligible, with a clinical focus on laser-based gum regeneration and implant preservation. When it comes to saving your natural teeth, credentials matter, and you’ll be in highly qualified hands.
For laser gum disease therapy in Manhattan, Smile Lab NYC uses the only FDA-approved laser protocol for periodontal disease, the same technology Dr. Tala is extensively trained and certified to perform. This isn’t experimental. LANAP is clinically proven to reduce pocket depths, regenerate bone, and slow the progression of periodontal disease, with results that conventional surgery cannot match.

For the first day or two, plan on soft foods and avoid chewing directly on the treated areas to keep the clot intact. Any soreness is usually mild and manageable with over-the-counter pain relief. Dr. Tala will give you specific home care guidance, then schedule follow-up visits over the coming weeks and months to monitor healing, measure pocket reduction, and confirm your gums are responding as expected.
LANAP treats periodontal disease around natural teeth. LAPIP, the Laser-Assisted Peri-Implantitis Procedure, treats the same kind of infection when it develops around a dental implant. The protocols are closely related but clinically distinct, and Smile Lab performs both with the same FDA-approved PerioLase MVP-7 laser.
If you have an implant with bleeding, exposed threads, or measurable bone loss around it, LAPIP may be a candidate treatment for saving that implant before it fails. Dr. Tala evaluates each implant case individually at your $99 consultation and will tell you plainly whether LAPIP, LANAP, or a different approach fits your situation, so you don’t need to hunt for a separate LAPIP provider in New York.
No referrals across the city, no conflicting treatment plans. Tell us what you need, and we’ll get you in.

Smile Lab Dentistry in Union Square is Manhattan’s premier destination for LANAP laser gum treatment and one of the most-searched options for LANAP NYC patients when comparing their choices. For patients typing “LANAP near me” from Union Square, Flatiron, Gramercy, or the East Village, the office is a short walk from all four.
Dr. Tala Ebrahimian, NYU-trained in periodontics, LANAP-certified, and board-eligible with published research in bone and periodontal health, brings a level of skill to this procedure that is rare in New York City.
Most patients complete their full LANAP course in one or two appointments, depending on the severity of their gum disease. In a typical case, Dr. Tala treats half of the mouth in one session and the other half in a second session shortly after.
Following active care, you’ll be placed on a periodontal maintenance schedule, typically every three months, to monitor healing and prevent recurrence. These visits often pair with deep teeth cleaning to keep new bacteria from taking hold below the gumline. Dr. Tala will give you a precise plan and timeline during your consultation.
