Common Questions About Gum Reshaping
Gum reshaping at our office works by removing excess gum tissue with a special dental laser. Reshaping can help if you have too much gum tissue or if your teeth appear too short. Since the treatment is performed with a laser, there is no cutting or stitches involved. The laser instantly seals your gums, and the healing time is minimal.
No, gum reshaping at Seabrook Family Dental is not painful. There are two reasons for this. We will first numb the area we’re working on with a local anesthetic to make sure that you don’t feel anything. Second, we use gentle laser treatment that doesn’t require any cutting or stitches. The laser removes excess gum tissue and seals your gums at the same time.
Each patient is unique and every case is different, so it is hard to give an exact price on your gum reshaping procedure. We encourage you to come into our office for a consultation so we can examine you and develop a treatment plan. Then we will be able to give you a price on your treatment, and you’ll have the information you need to make a good decision.
