When you have a more advanced case of periodontal disease, this could lead to issues with your soft tissues and even impact the appearance of your smile. Treatment at this stage is crucial for keeping your smile whole! In today’s blog, your Brooklyn, NY, periodontists and implant experts talk about improving smiles with soft tissue plastic surgery, using dental lasers to offer care with precision and accuracy.
When Your Smile Needs Treatment
When periodontal disease develops, this will grow in severity unless managed with proper care. Over time, this could move beyond sore and red gums, to bleeding and even receding tissues. There could be swelling too. The appearance and symmetry of your gum line changes in negative ways, and you’re more vulnerable to periodontitis, the stage linked to adult tooth loss. Which is why treatment is necessary, even in the early stages, to preserve and protect your smile. When you experience one or more of the symptoms, please reach out to our team. With soft tissue plastic surgery, we can manage the disease and improve the beauty of your smile at the same time.
The Benefits of Dental Lasers
To conduct the procedure, our team will implement advanced care with dental lasers. The technology is specially calibrated to handle soft tissue issues. The technology targets gums with precision to prevent damage to healthy portions, and to ensure the process is comfortable, often requiring little to no anesthesia. The lasers can also reduce the risk of swelling, bleeding, and infection, and since we don’t use scalpels or sutures, the area heals much quicker. You could return to your normal routine in as little as 24 to 48 hours.
Soft Tissue Plastic Surgery
Our team will plan the procedure in detail, and then use the advanced laser to remove the diseased portions of your tissues, so healthy ones can attach to the teeth to not only improve the symmetry and balance of your smile, but to also improve overall oral health too. The procedure only takes one visit, and in addition to managing the disease, we can help prepare your smile for implant dentistry if you have one or more missing teeth. If you have any questions about how we safeguard smiles with our soft tissue plastic surgery, or about our dental lasers, then contact our team today to learn more. We want to help you enjoy a full and beautiful smile for years to come!
