When you have issues with the symmetry of your gum line, or if you display too much gingival when you smile, this can impact smile beauty. Your teeth could even appear short or uneven! But with a unique soft tissue laser, your Kansas City, MO, dentist can offer gum contouring in one visit.
Addressing Gummy Smiles and Periodontal Disease
When you display too much gingival tissue, this could be due to complications with the growth of your smile and the eruption of your teeth. The excess tissues could make the teeth appear short or uneven. In addition, you could be suffering from swelling of the tissues due to untreated gum disease, which in time could threaten the stability of your smile. Our team can employ advanced dental lasers to address these issues and improve the health and density of your smile in only one visit! The process starts with an examination, so we can assess the cause and extent of these concerns, and plan treatment in detail. Every smile is different so your treatment is always personalized!
Soft Tissue Lasers
Our team will gently mark the areas where tissues need to be removed, and we will use the lasers to do so, improving the symmetry of the gum Iine in the process. The lasers target areas with precision to prevent damage to healthy tissues, and you rarely need anesthesia with the use of soft tissue lasers. These are quite comfortable, and since we don’t use scalpels or sutures, the area heals quicker. You may even return to normal activities after as little as 24 hours of rest. The technology also helps reduce the risk of bleeding, swelling, and infection afterward. If you have periodontal disease in an advanced stage, we can remove diseased tissues so healthy ones can reattach to your teeth, allowing the disease to become manageable with preventive care moving forward and keeping your smile healthy and whole!
Tooth Contouring
We also contour the teeth too! While we don’t use lasers in this procedure, our team can instead sand and buff outer structures to offer major cosmetic improvement for your smile. Contouring enables us to improve the appearance of minor chips and to reshape malformed or overly large teeth. We can also smooth our pits, grooves, and rough patches in the outer structure, and dull sharp, jagged, or pointed portions of the teeth. If you have any questions about how we improve the health and beauty of your smile with laser gum contouring, or about our tooth contouring procedure, then contact our team today.
