What Is Gum Shaping and Laser Gum Therapy?

Gum disease occurs when harmful bacteria live inside your gums. It can cause pain, swelling, and redness. Gum disease is a very common condition that brings severe irritation to your gums. If left untreated, it has the potential to cause tooth loss gum recession, and has even been linked to cardiovascular disease. This is where laser gum therapy is useful. The dental laser uses precise and focused light to remove afflicted tissue and allows better access to treat the teeth. Laser gum therapy is used in conjunction with other methods of treating gum disease, such as gum shaping surgery, scaling, and root planing.

How Gum Shaping Works: Our SiroLaser® Diode Laser

At Luth & Heideman Center for Dental Care, we use the most advanced technologies to assist us in providing you with the best treatment. This includes the use of a SiroLaser® diode laser in addition to gum shaping surgery when needed. There are benefits of using this tool, such as faster healing times, higher germ reduction, and less postoperative pain. Surgeries that involve using a SiroLaser® diode laser are typically better for you, in general! They create cleaner cuts that heal faster than cuts made with traditional dental tools. This means less medication and a shorter time to get back to normal.

Gum Shaping Treatment Areas

Using our SiroLaser® gum therapy in conjunction with conventional gum shaping surgery, we can perform many operations that will create healthier smiles. There is a range of treatment options for periodontal or gum disease (gingivitis). These treatments include:

Pocket Reduction

This surgical procedure is a spot treatment where a surgeon uses a laser to assist in pulling back a portion of the gums for access and removal of harmful bacteria and then replaces the removed portion of the gum. This is a great way to clean out the infection and begin the healing process.

Regeneration

After diseased gums have been removed, there is a chance the tissue surrounding the tooth’s root is not able to recover sufficiently. A regeneration procedure utilizes laser technology to safely remove damaged tissue and allow grafts or growth-stimulating proteins to be applied so the gums can regrow around the tooth’s root.

Crown Lengthening

Some individuals may have problems with their gums encroaching too high up their teeth. A crown-lengthening procedure systematically removes tissue from the base of the tooth, making the tooth appear longer. This procedure is typically used for cosmetic effects or for treating gum disease.

Soft Tissue Grafts

A soft tissue graft uses a laser to remove and replace gum tissue from one portion of your mouth to another. This is necessary for individuals who have had advanced gum disease that has left the gums surrounding the tooth weakened or open. It can also be used to help individuals who have less gum tissue in their mouth.
