Our cosmetic treatment options are not just limited to removing teeth stains or reshaping damaged teeth. With laser technology, we can also conduct safe and gentle gum contouring in one visit to correct issues with your smile’s appearance. In today’s blog, your Celina, TX, dentist talks about improving smiles with gum contouring.
The Impact of a Gummy Smile
When you display too much gum tissue when you smile, this could cause embarrassment with your appearance. Your teeth could even appear short or uneven as a result! Our team doesn’t want you to feel embarrassed about your appearance. We will conduct a detailed examination to assess the state of your oral health and to find out if you benefit from a gum contouring procedure, in which we reshape the gum line to correct symmetry and improve overall smile beauty, all in a single visit.
The Laser Contouring Procedure
Our team will gently mark your gums and then use the dental laser to carefully remove the excess tissue and reshape the gum line in the process. The procedure rarely requires any anesthesia, and the laser will be specially calibrated to handle soft tissue concerns. The technology can trim away excess tissue and leave your healthy tissues untouched. This means no scalpels and sutures, so the area heals quickly, which enables you to return to their normal routines in as little as 24 to 48 hours. The lasers also limit the risk of bleeding, swelling, and infection afterward.
Managing Periodontal Disease
In addition to improving your overall smile beauty, we can also address issues with your oral health. Lasers can be used to address more severe stages of gum disease, so we can remove diseased portions of tissue and allow healthy ones to reattach to your tooth. This helps reduce the depth of periodontal pockets and allows us to manage the disease moving forward with traditional cleanings every three to four months, and better oral hygiene habits at home. As a result, you can avoid major discomfort and complications like tooth loss, keeping your smile healthy and whole.
