Dental lasers allow our team to take on soft tissue concerns with precision and accuracy. The technology uses a concentrated beam of light to gently trim away and reshape tissues as needed, targeting areas with precision to prevent damage to healthy structures. The technology destroys harmful bacteria in the process, which lowers the risk of inflammation, bleeding, infection, and swelling. Treatment only takes one visit and rarely needs anesthesia, and the area heals quickly since we don’t need scalpel and sutures, so people can return to their normal routine after a day or two of rest.
If you have a more advanced case of periodontal disease, then our team could use the technology to gently trim away diseased portions of the gums, reshaping the gum in the process to ensure better symmetry. By removing these tissues, healthy gums can attach to the teeth, and we can then manage the disease moving forward with more preventive and holistic options, such as regular cleanings or Ozone Therapy.
A gummy smile means you show off too much gingival tissue when you smile, which could make teeth appear small or uneven. With a gum contouring procedure, we use the same technology systems we discussed above to remove the excess tissue and ensure proper symmetry, so you see immediate results and enjoy a more attractive smile.
Lasers can also assist with other procedures! If you have receding gums, which make teeth appear long, we could use the technology to assist with the Pinhole Surgical Technique, allowing us to cover the exposed areas without the need to remove tissues from other parts of your smile. If you have weakened jawbone structure in the lower jaw due to tooth loss, the technology could assist with a grafting procedure to strengthen the area and ensure the smile can support one or more dental implants.
If you have any questions about how we help smiles with our perio laser systems, then please reach out to our team today to learn more and enjoy a healthier and more attractive smile! Everything starts with your initial exam, so reach out soon.
We want to help you enjoy treatment that improves esthetics and offers better oral health too. To learn more about protecting and reshaping your gum tissue, call Dr. Ann Kania in Encinitas, CA, today at 760-642-0711.
