Laser Gum Surgery

Treatment of gum bleeding and infection is a very common condition among patients and its severity is different among people. This disease can be identified by reddening and swelling of the gums, which is accompanied by simple bleeding during brushing or flossing. The treatment of tooth and gum infection is different from periodontitis or gum tissue destruction, although sometimes different people may have both of these diseases at the same time.
Laser gum surgery does not require the use of a surgical blade or the dentist's stitches. This method has a minimal level of invasion, which causes minimal discomfort and pain for the patient. In this case, laser waves are used with a wavelength that can have a different effect on the damaged tissue and healthy gum tissue in the mouth. This means that the laser is completely safe and can be used during cosmetic gum surgery without any special concerns. In fact, it is possible to use a laser to remove damaged gum tissue and remove harmful bacteria without causing damage, cutting, or removing healthy gum tissue!
The main differences between traditional surgery and laser gum surgery

The main differences between traditional gum surgery and laser gum surgery to treat gum diseases are as follows:

The Pain :

Cosmetic gingival surgery in the old way is painful for the patient, and that's why when using this method, there is a need for painkillers and a rest period. For this reason, many patients use implants and dental implant procedures to avoid the pain caused by gum surgery. One of the advantages of laser gum surgery is that it is much less uncomfortable for patients. In this case, there is almost no need to prescribe pain medication for the patient, and the patient can start his normal activities and return to work immediately after the treatment by the dental implant specialist.

Gum Recession :

Because the gum surgery method requires the use of a surgical knife, there is always a possibility of the gum line receding due to the incisions made on it. The question that is raised in this case is related to the amount of receding gums as a result of using this gum cosmetic surgery. In fact, the old surgical method can cause the gum line to recede from 2 to 4 mm, which in total recedes from 10 to 15 mm in people treated to correct a gummy smile.

Gummy Smile

A gummy smile is a problem in which the upper lip line is in such a way that a greater than normal amount of gum tissue is revealed and exposed. In some cases, the end of the tooth root is seen and a significant part of the gum is exposed. A gummy smile has a negative effect on the beauty of your smile because in a beautiful and healthy smile only white teeth and a very small amount of gum can be seen.

The amount of gum tissue of each person depends on his personal anatomy and many people have more gum tissue than others. When you are not satisfied with the appearance of your smile and think that too much of your gum is showing when you laugh, you can try different ways to correct the gummy smile design. With gum smile treatment, you can smile the way you've always dreamed of.

This is despite the fact that laser dentistry is much less invasive and there is no need to cut the gum tissue. In this way, when using this method, a small amount of receding of the gum line is observed or no receding of the gum line is created at all. This issue is one of the important differences between these two treatment methods, because receding gums can always cause special problems for the patient in terms of appearance and smile design, and in addition, it can cause the teeth to be sensitive to hot and cold temperatures. increase sharply.

Recovery period:

The recovery period for laser gum surgery and smile design correction is much faster compared to the old surgical method, because in this case new technologies are used with a less invasive level. In fact, the laser destroys the bacteria in the cavity between the teeth and the gums, thus reducing the inflammation of the gums caused by the disease and improving the damaged tissue.

 

Long-Term Results:

Although amazing long-term results can be observed in the patient's condition using both treatment methods, gum laser surgery has more predictability in relation to bone repair and reattachment of the grafted tissue after treatment. The laser can stimulate the bone around the root of the tooth and accelerate the healing process. In this way, it is possible to save teeth that were usually pulled before in similar situations. In this way, in many cases, the effects of periodontal disease can be reversed and treated people will see more improvement in their condition over time.
