Laser Dentistry Advantages for Gum Treatment
Our doctors employ dental technology whenever they can to improve our patient care. A good example is lasers, which have revolutionized many dental procedures. Before lasers, dentists used a scalpel to remove excess gum tissue (and some still do!).
Lasers offer many benefits, including:
- Less discomfort. Most patients will not even require anesthesia for a gum reshaping treatment. Though if you would like us to numb the area before we begin, we’re happy to do so. You’ll experience less tenderness following the procedure too.
- Less treatment time. Reshaping gums with a scalpel often requires multiple office visits. With a laser, the entire gum reshaping treatment can be completed in just one visit.
- Faster recovery. Because the laser cauterizes tissue as we work, no stitches are required. Not only that, but there is little chance of infection following your procedure.

Again, similar issues if a patient maybe feels like they're showing too much gum when they smile we can recontour the gums back. And again. Sometimes that's just done alone or in conjunction with a cosmetic procedure like a crown or veneer. And. Oftentimes by showing more tooth structure, patient feels more confident in their smile.
