Laser Gum Sculpting FAQ's
What to Expect from Laser Gum Sculpting?
Dr. Tatevossian generally uses local anesthesia prior to performing laser gum contouring. Different types of dental lasers have been created to treat various conditions. Each laser uses a different wavelength of light, which predicates its best use. The most common types of dental lasers are carbon dioxide lasers and diode lasers, which are usually employed to treat soft tissue problems. After conducting X-rays and a thorough examination, Dr. Tatevossian will decide which type of laser is best to use.Follow-up
After gum contouring, there will be some minor swelling and discomfort. Patients should adhere to a soft food diet and not over-exert themselves for the first 24 hours. Dr. Tatevossian will usually see patients about 7 to 10 days after the procedure to ensure the gums have healed properly and there is no infection. The healing process is quick and patients will notice their results immediately.Pricing
