Cosmetic dentistry probably brings to mind issues with your teeth. However, gum tissue problems also fall under the realm of cosmetic dental procedures. Too much gum tissue can easily be resolved with a simple and minimally invasive laser procedure. This is also an option if your concerns revolve around a lack of gum symmetry. Your Rolling Meadows cosmetic dentist, Dr. Brent Engelberg, will tell you more about gum lifts.
Improved Healing with Lasers
Lasers have been a great innovation in many aspects of technology. Dentistry is no exception. Traditional cosmetic gum procedures generally involved surgical tools such as scalpels and sutures in the past. Naturally, this would lead to a less pleasant experience for you as the patient, and a greater length of recovery time. Laser gum lifts are a wonderful way to do the same thing with less trauma. Not only to lasers allow for fast precision, but stitches are usually an unnecessary end to laser procedures. The tissues naturally close from the heat of the laser, and you will end up healing much more quickly and comfortably as a result.
Sedation Options for Comfort
Even though laser gum surgery is fairly gentle and simple, if you are too nervous, sedation in various forms can be available from your Rolling Meadows cosmetic dentist. Dr. Engelberg will do whatever he can to make sure you feel good, calm, and comfortable about your gum lift. The precise capabilities of laser surgery will make it possible to trim just the right amount of gingival tissue to provide you with a symmetrical and perfectly framed smile. If you are in need of other cosmetic procedures, we can discuss doing everything at once, or in as few appointments as possible.
