Reshape Your Gums Through Laser Dentistry

While most people don’t give their gums a second thought, some experience self-consciousness whenever they smile or laugh because of an uneven gumline. Laser dentistry in Park Falls, such as gum reshaping, can dramatically improve your smile if your gums appear too high, too low, or uneven.

How Is It Done?

Getting a Uniform Gumline

If you have uneven gums, there is a possibility that your self-esteem is affected. Even if the teeth have adequately grown, an uneven gum line can cause your teeth to appear unhealthy or unappealing. Sometimes, people who receive dental crowns encounter irregular gum regrowth near the crowns’ roots.  

Both types of individuals can utilize lasers to make their gums appear straight. Cosmetic laser techniques can reshape irregular gum lines to make them appear more symmetrical. Further, correcting the issue is more critical than just cosmetic for people with unnatural gum development around a crown because the enlarged tissue can cause gum disease and infection.   

Not requiring stitches is one benefit of using lasers to reshape your gums. As a result, there is less pain and tissue disruption, and the gums heal more quickly. Combining these elements lowers the chance of infection following the surgery. Laser treatment usually involves little to no discomfort, and the gums can heal fully in two days to two weeks.  

Trimming Extra Tissue

Some people have abnormally low gum lines that obscure a disproportionate amount of their teeth. The teeth appear short and tiny as a result. Others have too much gum tissue, which makes their gums the most noticeable aspect of their smile.   

Thankfully, there are methods to remedy these issues. A dental expert can lengthen teeth that appear excessively short by removing extra gum tissue to expose more teeth. A dentist can remove part of the excess tissue and minimize the look of the gums to correct a mouth with prominent gums.   

Although these treatments have been accessible for some time, they have often been carried out with a scalpel and other metal tools. Dental experts have been utilizing laser beams in more recent years. The process is less unpleasant since a laser causes less damage to the tissue. Along with removing the tissue, the light cauterizes, which lessens bleeding and promotes quicker healing.
