What Is Laser Gum Contouring?
Protecting and maintaining the health of your gums is essential to your health. Dental issues like oral cancer and periodontal disease, can adversely impact your oral and overall health if they are not properly treated. At Aesthetic Dentistry Associates, we utilize new laser technology to treat a broad array of periodontal (gum) conditions. Our high-powered laser allows Dr. Umansky to perform more efficiently the treatment of periodontitis (the advanced stage of gum disease). Dr. Umansky also uses laser technology to perform oral biopsies that find precancer and cancer in your mouth. Laser gum treatments can also be performed in specific cosmetic dentistry procedures that will help sculpt the gums or reduce the appearance of a smile that looks "gummy." Schedule a consultation with Dr. Umansky to learn more about laser gum treatments at our world-class facility in Atascocita, TX.
How Is Laser Gum Contouring Performed?
Laser gum treatments are performed at our practice, and typically only need local anesthesia to help clients stay comfortable. However, other sedation options may be available if you have dental fears or anxieties. Before your procedure, Dr. Umansky will go over exactly what you can expect throughout the process, whether you are being treated for gum disease, getting an oral biopsy, having crown lengthening, or undergoing aesthetic gum contouring. The laser reduces bleeding and often eliminates the need for sutures.
What Are the Benefits of Laser Gum Treatments?
Laser gum treatments are part of our comprehensive dental care services at Aesthetic Dentistry Associates. By leveraging the precision and efficiency of laser technology, we're able to deliver treatments that are not only effective but also enhance client comfort and outcomes. The primary benefits of laser gum treatments are:
- Minimally Invasive: The use of lasers for gum treatments means a less invasive procedure compared to conventional surgery.
- Versatile Treatment Options: Laser gum therapy can effectively address a variety of dental issues, including cosmetic concerns like a "gummy smile," tooth sensitivity due to exposed roots, and more serious conditions like gum disease.
- Faster Recovery Times: The precision and minimally invasive nature of laser treatments usually lead to quicker recovery times.
- Reduced Pain: Many patients find laser gum treatments to be less painful than traditional gum surgeries.
- Preservation of Healthy Tissue: The accuracy of the laser allows for targeted treatment of affected areas without harming surrounding healthy tissue.
- Lower Risk of Complications: Lasers have a sterilizing effect, which reduces the risk of infection following the procedure. This sanitizing action decreases the likelihood of post-operative complications, contributing to a smoother recovery process.
