Gingivectomy Treatment
In other words, say goodbye to “gummy smile.”
By using a specialized diode laser, Dr. Dewbre can safely and effectively remove excess gum tissue to expose more of the tooth's surface for better aesthetics and function.
Your gum tissue serves as a "frame" for your teeth, and Dr. Dewbre can use orthodontic lasers to sculpt the gums around your teeth in a way that helps improve the overall appearance of your smile.
The best part of laser treatment? In most cases, there is no need for needles! We simply apply a topical anesthetic to the gum tissue being treated so all you feel is the slight movement of the laser tip.
Key Benefits
Ideal Bracket Placement:
If your gums haven't receded properly, or if a tooth is erupting slower than expected, Dr. Dewbre can use a laser to remove excess tissue and reveal enough tooth surface to place a bracket. Dr. Dewbre can also use this to place TADs as an alternative to headgear.
Impacted Teeth:
Impactions refer to teeth that haven't erupted properly through the gums.
By using laser treatment, Dr. Dewbre can assist a tooth's eruption without the need to wait months for the tooth to erupt on its own, or to refer you for an expensive surgical procedure.
Aesthetic Gingival Reconstruction:
Following the removal of your braces, Dr. Dewbre may recommend re-contouring your gum line to maximize the aesthetics of your smile.
