Dental lasers use a focused beam of light to treat gum tissue with less bleeding and faster healing. They can be used for gum recontouring, depigmentation, disinfection during root canals and some whitening procedures.
When you might need it
- Gummy smile / gum recontouring
- Dark gums (depigmentation)
- Gum infections
What to expect
- Local anaesthetic gel or injection as needed
- Laser procedure
- Usually quick healing
Every case is different. Your dentist will examine you, explain the options and give an estimate before treatment starts.
