Laser correction of irregularly shaped gingiva is a procedure that addresses the aesthetic unevenness of the gingiva in your mouth. The irregular shape of the gingiva over the teeth can affect the aesthetics of your smile and cause unevenness. The first stage before any intervention is a detailed examination and analysis of gingival health. This process includes measuring the depth of the gingival sulcus, indexing gingival health to determine the presence of inflammation or periodontal disease, and determining the biotype of the gingiva and bone.
Preparation and necessary steps
The gingiva must be healthy and uninflamed before proceeding with correction. Our dental experts will assess whether prior treatment is needed to heal the gingiva or if correction can be done directly.
If treatment is required, gingival healing is carried out first. When the gingiva is ready, the correction of its shape is done with laser technology. We commonly use a diode laser for precise remodeling of the gingival margin.
Procedure and anesthesia
The procedure of laser correction of an irregular shape of the gingiva is quick and painless, usually with applied surface anesthesia in the form of a gel. Sometimes, a minimal amount of short-term local anesthesia is sufficient to provide comfort. Laser correction is minimally invasive and helps to achieve a symmetrical and aesthetically pleasing shape of the gingiva, without the need for a long recovery period.
Results and recovery
The results of laser correction are visible immediately, and the gingiva heals quickly. Post-intervention control ensures monitoring of the healing process and possible additional corrections, if needed.
With the laser correction, your smile will get a natural and tidy appearance, thanks to the precise shape of the gingiva. Contact us for a consultation and discover how we can improve the aesthetics of your smile with advanced laser technology.
