Schedule Less Invasive Gum Grafting

A recessed gum line can be a real concern for your appearance, and it can have unwelcome consequences for your oral health. The exposure of tooth structure normally covered by your periodontal tissues can lead to more problems for your well-being. This issue can also make you vulnerable to heightened dental sensitivity. It can also make it harder to prevent periodontal issues from occurring. At our Encinitas/San Diego, CA periodontal practice, we can respond to this problem by providing a gum grafting treatment performed with laser technology. What do you gain from undergoing treatment with these tools? With lasers, we can make the procedure more conservative and remove the need for suturing. This can make your time in the dentist’s chair easier, and you can show off your results sooner!

Is Gum Grafting Treatment Something You Should Look Into?

There are different reasons why people start to experience gum recession. With that said, when the problem occurs for any reason, it can certainly be upsetting. In addition to having an unwelcome impact on your smile and making you more prone to dental sensitivity, it can make it harder to avoid problems with gum disease. A grafting treatment with manual tools can prove successful, but it will require suturing of tissues, and it can be frustrating to wait through your recovery to see the results of your procedure. Because we offer gum grafting with laser tools, we can make the procedure more comfortable, and you can look forward to seeing your results sooner!

Planning Your Laser Grafting Procedure

Through your laser gum grafting treatment, we can restore your smile by addressing problems with visibly recessed tissues that draw undesired attention and make you self-conscious about your appearance. Your procedure will cover up sensitive portions of your tooth structure that make you more prone to discomfort, and it will help you be less susceptible to future issues with gum disease. Laser technology allows us to rely on the Pinhole Surgical Technique, which minimizes tissue damage and removes the need for suturing. Because of this, you can recover in less time and see positive cosmetic changes sooner!

What Else Can Laser Tools Do To Address Your Periodontal Health?

Laser technology can have real value in treating active problems with periodontal disease. We can conservatively tend to an area where an infection is a concern. During your treatment, we can remove infected tissues and bacteria on the roots of your teeth. In addition to being a less invasive means of fighting this problem, you can enjoy a shorter and easier recovery period!
