What Are the Benefits of Laser Gum Recontouring?
Laser gum recontouring is a precise procedure that is able to eliminate any extra gum tissue that is present around the teeth. By removing this excess gum tissue, patients with a “gummy” appearance can achieve a much more balanced smile. Oftentimes, reducing the amount of gum tissue present along the teeth by using the laser gum recontouring process can be completed in one visit. An additional benefit to gum laser treatment is that it is virtually painless, providing a more comfortable option than traditional methods.
What Does the Laser Gum Procedure Involve?
The process of laser gum recontouring begins with an assessment of your smile so that our team is able to determine how much work will be needed in order to provide you with a more balanced and symmetrical oral appearance. At your initial consultation, a comprehensive treatment plan will be developed by you and our team. Using the state-of-the-art Waterlase® MD laser, the entire process takes about an hour to reduce the amount of gum tissue present in your smile. Following your procedure, the recovery process is extremely minimal with virtually no downtime.
Is Laser Gum Recontouring Painful?
In most cases, our team will utilize a local anesthetic in order to numb the targeted area. Laser gum recontouring is often a much less uncomfortable and painful procedure than traditional gum removal procedures. With advances in technology, laser gum recontouring allows for people to enhance their smile and address their “gummy smile” in a process that causes minimal discomfort.
What Is Recovery Like After Laser Gum Recontouring?
The recovery process for a laser gum recontouring procedure will differ depending on the individual needs of each patient. The work needed to meet the needs of every person will be unique and likely vary from treatment to treatment. Generally speaking, recovery from laser gum recontouring is a quick and seamless process. Our team will be able to provide more in depth detail about your recovery during your initial consultation.
How Much Does Laser Gum Recontouring Cost?
Similar to the recovery of laser gum recontouring, the total price will vary. Patients will often have specific needs unique to their mouth and gums. In order to meet those needs, the complex work our team will need to conduct will be much different for every person. During your consultation, our team will have a better understanding of your situation and will be able to provide a cost estimate.
