GUM LIFTING
Having a beautiful smile starts with healthy teeth, but it’s also what’s around each tooth that polishes off and frames your smile for a gorgeous appearance. What are we talking about? Your gums!
Uneven gumlines or “gummy” smiles can detract from even the whitest, healthiest of teeth. They can take a perfectly healthy smile and make it look unattractive, simply due to the shape of the gum tissues.
Thanks to Biolase soft tissue laser gum recontouring or gum “lift” procedures, you can complement your current smile or planned cosmetic treatments for the best potential outcome.
FRENECTOMY
Frenectomy is the procedure to get rid of the frenulum tissues. It could also include attachment to the underlying bones. The main goal behind doing this is to remove the unwanted tissue that causes the frenulum to function dysfunctionally. Generally, an ideal candidate for frenectomy would have a frenulum that is too short or tight that would need a small reduction.
PERI-IMPLANTITIS
Peri-Implantitis can be described as a destructive inflammatory procedure that affects the soft and hard tissues that surround your dental implants. Like your natural teeth, bacteria can also grow around the base of your dental implants, below the gum line. These can irritate the gum tissues causing inflammation. If not treated on time, it can even erode the bone structure that holds your dental implant in place.
GINGIVAL CURETTAGE
Gingival curettage is the procedure to remove the gingival crevicular epithelium. It offers similar benefits to that of scaling and root planning. The procedure is mainly conducted when the periodontal pockets of the patient are more than 5mm deep.
The procedure involves the removal of tartar and gingival plaque from there. The gingival walls are also scrapped off, eliminating the soft tissues from the periodontal pockets. It also involves cleaning the exposed parts of your tooth’s root. Dr Stella Gonzalez offers laser gingival curettage procedures in Miami Area
PERIODONTAL SURGERY
Periodontal surgery helps to treat severe gum diseases and conditions like periodontitis. The procedure aims to treat gum infections and the damages caused due to it, like regrowing damaged bones, tissues, etc. Dr Stella Gonzalez offers laser gum surgery for various dental issues- it can effectively do gum contouring to address gummy smile problems for cosmetic and restorative purposes.

COSMETIC GUM SURGERY
To properly define what a gummy smile is, it might be useful to clarify the basic anatomy of the tooth. The tooth can be broken down into two halves: the crown (the visible portion of the tooth) and the root (the part of the tooth hidden below the gums and jawbone). Typically, the gums will cover the root and a few millimeters of the crown. But patients with excessive gingival display (gummy smile), the gums (gingiva) may dominate and distract from an otherwise beautiful smile. To correct this, dental practitioners have several treatment options, most notably gingivectomy.
SCALPEL VS LASER
Both metal scalpels and laser-assisted incision tools can be used to perform gingivectomies. These days, scalpel-based gingivectomies are the most common method, but laser-based tools are increasingly finding their place in modern dental offices. To compare these two procedures, we have summarized the findings of the Biomedical and Pharmacology Journal in their research on laser gingivectomies.
LASER PERIODONTAL
There are different treatment options available for gum diseases. The procedure chosen by your dentist to cure gum diseases depends on the severity of the issue. Laser periodontal therapy is gaining a lot of popularity lately because of its minimally invasive nature. Dr Stella Gonzalez offers effective laser periodontal therapy that will help regain your oral health state.
