And although there are a few chooses in the type of gum surgery one of the fastest and pain less methods is called laser gum surgery. And just like it sounds a laser is used, with small amounts of energy, to remove diseased tissue. laser gum surgery is so effective the recovery time is less than 24 hours where traditional gum surgery requires 2-4 weeks of recovery time. In fact the lasers for this surgical use where created by dentists and receive extensive clinical trials before receiving Federal Drug Administration approval. How is Cosmetic Gum Surgery Performed? The two main types of cosmetic gum surgery, used to correct the long tooth look and the gummy smile, differ. The gummy smile corrective surgery reduces the excess gum and bone. The cosmetic dentist typically uses a laser to perform this type of surgery. A soft-tissue laser removes excess gum tissue while a specialized laser cuts away excess bone. The procedure for correcting the long tooth look works in much the same way as a skin graft. Your cosmetic dentist removes healthy skin from the roof of the mouth and grafts it onto the gum line. The result is a natural looking, reinforced gum line. Before undergoing any type of cosmetic gum surgery, discuss the procedure thoroughly with your cosmetic dentist.
