What is laser gum therapy
used for?
Laser gum therapy is commonly used to gently reshape excess gum tissue for patients with a “gummy” smile. By carefully recontouring the gumline, the dentist can reveal more of the natural tooth structure and create a more balanced, attractive appearance with minimal discomfort and downtime.
Laser gum therapy is also highly effective in treating gum disease. The laser targets and removes infected tissue while preserving healthy areas. This helps reduce harmful bacteria, promotes healing, and supports the gums in reattaching to the teeth without the need for more invasive surgical procedures.
Does laser gum therapy
hurt?
Most patients report little to no discomfort during laser gum treatments. The laser works with precision and often eliminates the need for scalpels or sutures. A local anesthetic may be used for added comfort upon patient request, but many people find the procedure surprisingly gentle without it. Mild soreness afterward is possible but usually resolves quickly with minimal care.
How long does it take for gums
to heal after laser treatment?
Healing after laser gum treatment is generally faster than with traditional gum surgery. Many patients notice improvement within a few days, with full healing typically occurring over one to two weeks. Because the laser minimizes trauma to surrounding tissue, there is less swelling and bleeding, allowing you to return to normal activities sooner.
