Transform Your Smile with Laser Crown Lengthening: The Modern Approach to a Perfect Balance
Are you self-conscious about a “gummy smile” where your gums overshadow your teeth? At Scharrington Dental in Schaumburg, Illinois, we offer a solution that enhances the balance between your teeth and gums, giving you a smile you can be proud of. Our laser crown lengthening procedure, performed by our board-certified prosthodontist, Dr. Joon Han, is a minimally invasive technique designed to bring harmony to your smile.
What is Laser Crown Lengthening?
Laser crown lengthening, or soft tissue recontouring, adjusts the gum-to-tooth ratio. This technique doesn’t lengthen your teeth but makes them appear longer by reducing the excess gum tissue that may be covering them. The result is a more proportionate and aesthetically pleasing smile.
What Are the Benefits of Laser Crown Lengthening?
- Minimal Pain and Bleeding: Laser technology minimizes discomfort and bleeding, unlike traditional scalpels. The laser precisely targets and removes the gum tissue, leading to a quicker and more comfortable recovery.
- Immediate Results: You’ll see an immediate improvement in your smile’s appearance. The laser technique ensures that your gums are evenly shaped around your teeth, giving you a well-balanced and symmetrical smile.
- Enhanced Confidence: With a more proportionate gum-to-tooth ratio, you’ll feel more confident showing off your smile.
- Reduced Risk of Decay and Disease: By removing excess gum tissue, laser crown lengthening can reduce the risk of gum disease and tooth decay by providing better access to oral hygiene.
- Easier Orthodontic Treatment: If you’re considering braces or other orthodontic work, having the correct gum-to-tooth ratio can make these treatments more effective.
What Should I Expect During the Procedure?
The laser crown lengthening procedure is typically completed in a single visit. Dr. Joon Han will use advanced laser technology to trim excess gum tissue. The precise procedure targets only the necessary areas without affecting the surrounding tissues.
- Initial Consultation: During your first visit, we will discuss your smile goals and evaluate your gum and tooth structure. This will help us develop a personalized treatment plan.
- The Procedure: On the day of your treatment, Dr. Han will use the laser to remove the excess gum tissue. The laser technology ensures minimal discomfort and quick healing.
- Recovery: Post-procedure, you may experience slight discomfort, but it’s generally minimal compared to traditional methods. The laser’s precision means less post-operative care and quicker results.
