What is Gum Surgery?

Your gum surrounding your teeth is similar to a frame of a solid house, they are effectively responsible to provide form and shape to the top or bottom of your teeth. In fact your less attractive smile results from weak gum composition. This is usually due to poor or inadequate hygiene of your gum, known as gum disease. Which can result in the decay of gum tissue.

A type of cosmetic dentistry called gum surgery can help restore your gum from their deteriorated state. And although there are a few choices in the type of gum surgery here is the best one.

Laser gum surgery

How this process works is that a laser with a rather small amount of energy is targeted with great precision at the decayed portions of the gum. The laser then removes the tissue which is decayed, thus eliminating infection in tissues. This whole process is executed without any type of incision or cut. This is so because the laser immediately cauterizes (use of heat to close the effected area to prevent bleeding) the wound, resulting in very less to no bleeding. The use of the laser is so precise and effective that the patient only experiences minor discomfort.
