Gum Recontouring: Then and Now
Traditionally, “gummy” smiles were addressed with scalpels, gauze, and sutures. While this approach continues to be effective, the post-op healing process and risk of infection left much to be desired. Fortunately, that’s where soft tissue lasers come in. This state-of-the-art tool allows the gums to be vaporized and cauterized simultaneously, resulting in a much more seamless experience.
Benefits of Using Soft Tissue Lasers for Gum Recontouring
In recent years, the use of soft tissue lasers in procedures like gum recontouring has become extremely popular, and rightly so! Thanks to this innovative approach to treatment, you can enjoy a number of benefits in addition to a beautiful, balanced smile, including:
- Less bleeding during surgery.
- Reduced risk of infection.
- Shorter healing time.
- Permanent results.
- No scalpels and sutures mean no anesthesia is needed for a comfortable procedure.
