Laser Gum Lifts & Sculpting

At Fisher & Zitterich Dentistry in Rockwall, TX, we believe that everyone deserves to feel confident in their smile.

For patients with excessive or uneven gum tissue, achieving that confidence may feel out of reach. A “gummy smile” can make teeth appear smaller or less proportionate, but what many people don’t realize is that beneath the excess gum tissue lies the beautiful smile you’ve always wanted.

With advanced laser technology like the iLASE, we offer gum lifts and sculpting procedures to redefine your smile and bring out its natural brilliance.

What Is A Laser Gum Lift?

A laser gum lift, also known as a gingivectomy, is a minimally invasive cosmetic dental procedure designed to remove excess gum tissue and expose more of your natural teeth. Using our state-of-the-art iLASE soft tissue laser, we can sculpt your gums with pinpoint precision, creating a balanced, symmetrical appearance.

Whether your goal is to address a gummy smile or to prepare for restorative treatments like veneers or crowns, this procedure can be customized to suit your unique needs.

Benefits Of Laser Gum Sculpting

If you’ve been considering a gum lift, there are several reasons why laser gum sculpting might be the perfect solution for you:

• Enhances the appearance of short or stubby teeth by exposing more of their natural length.
• Reduces or eliminates the “gummy” appearance of your smile.
• Creates more symmetry and balance across your gum line.
• Improves your overall oral health by removing excess tissue that may harbor bacteria.
• Provides a faster recovery time compared to traditional methods.

With our advanced laser technology, you’ll experience less discomfort, minimal bleeding, and a shorter healing period, allowing you to enjoy your new smile sooner.

What To Expect During A Gum Lift Procedure

At Fisher & Zitterich Dentistry, your comfort and satisfaction are our top priorities. From your initial consultation to the final results, we are here to guide you every step of the way. Here’s what you can expect during your gum lift procedure:

• Consultation and planning: We’ll discuss your goals, evaluate your smile, and design a customized treatment plan.
• Marking the gum tissue: Your dentist will carefully map out the areas for treatment to ensure precision.
• Anesthesia or sedation: We’ll ensure your comfort with local anesthesia or sedation options tailored to your needs.
• Laser sculpting: Using the iLASE, we’ll gently remove and reshape excess gum tissue with precision.
• Recovery and aftercare: Recovery is usually brief, and we’ll provide detailed instructions for optimal healing.

Osseous Crown Lengthening For Enhanced Results

For some patients, excess gum tissue isn’t the only concern. In cases where there is excessive bone beneath the gums, a procedure called osseous crown lengthening may be necessary. This involves contouring the underlying bone structure in addition to reshaping the gums. With our advanced iLASE technology, we can perform this procedure with remarkable accuracy, ensuring the ideal proportions for your smile.

Preparing For Restorative Or Cosmetic Treatments

Laser gum lifts are often a preliminary step in a comprehensive smile makeover. By redefining the gum line, we can create a perfect foundation for treatments like porcelain crowns, veneers, or Lumineers. Even if you’re not planning on additional cosmetic work, a gum lift can dramatically enhance the overall appearance of your smile.

For those with minor asymmetries or uneven gum lines, laser sculpting offers a subtle way to achieve symmetry without extensive treatment. Dr. Fisher and Dr. Zitterich use their expertise to ensure the results are natural and harmonious with your facial features.
