laser Gum Reshaping
What is Gum Reshaping?If your teeth appear small due to excessive gum tissue, sometimes called a ‘gummy smile’, then laser gum reshaping might be just the ticket for you. Using a laser, Dr. Lobrot can re-contour a low or uneven gum line to reveal more of your teeth and less of your gums. Measurements are made so that the teeth will all be the same height after the gum tissue is reduced. The laser power, accompanied with air/water spray removes the soft tissue exactly where planned with extreme precision. The laser tip only removes small amounts of tissue at a time. As it obliterates the tissue, the tooth is revealed unharmed. The laser cauterizes the tissue as it cuts, which leaves no bleeding. This type of finish allows healing in half the time of other methods of surgery. Very little if any discomfort is felt the next day from this procedure. Local anesthesia is offered though is often not necessary.
