Dr. Maddux Discusses Laser Dentistry to Treat A Gummy Smile
Laser dentistry is an excellent choice for treating a gummy smile. A gummy smile is when too much gum tissue is shown when you smile or talk and your teeth appear to be out of proportion with your gums. Your teeth can be perfect, however, they can sometimes just be covered up with too much gum tissue. A laser allows Dr. Maddux precise accuracy when correcting your gummy smile.
Dr. Maddux performs the procedure of removing just the right amount of gum tissue to achieve the very best cosmetic results. After the procedure is completed on one or more of your teeth, your gums will heal more quickly and more comfortable that if a scalpel had been used to reshape these tissues.
Lasers also aid in preventing bacteria from infecting the gums in periodontal pockets. After treatment the periodontal pockets begin the healing process and returning to normal, so your gums will begin to fit more tightly around your teeth.
