Laser Surgery and Crown Lengthening at Bellevue Dentist
BELLEVUE DENTISTS SOFT-TISSUE LASER CREATES NEW SMILES
Three Beautiful Smiles at Brookside Dental Staff Gathering
Bellevue Dentists at Brookside Dental are always striving to stay on the cutting edge of new technology in the field of Dentistry. Dental technology is constantly evolving and developing new methods, procedure and equipment to make visits to the dentist more rewarding and pleasant. Our newest patient-friendly acquisition at Brookside Dental has these Bellevue Cosmetic Dentists using the Odyssey soft-tissue laser to create beautiful new gum lines. The soft-tissue laser is used for sculpturing a new contour around the teeth resulting in a new more attractive gum line and overall smile. Whenever gum tissue does not have the correct contour for a beautifully aesthetic smile, the soft tissue laser can be used to reshape the gums painlessly. Anesthetic generally is not required for this process, because the pulse duration of the laser is so short that the reaction threshold of the nerves is not reached. This laser also can be used to sterilize periodontal pockets that are diseased areas around teeth, because it painlessly kills the germs found there. The soft-tissue laser also can be used to condition and rejuvenate the tissue around teeth so that exceptional dental restorations, tooth fillings and crowns, can be placed correctly and look beautiful, even if the tissue around the teeth is not in the best condition.
For many people, bright white teeth and a beautiful smile seem impossible, due to the fact that they have “small teeth” which exhibit a considerable amount of pink gum tissue. Generally, this is not caused by “short teeth”, but rather it is due to a gummy smile or excess gum tissue that shows at the time of smiling. People with this problem can obtain a beautiful smile that has a well proportioned gum to tooth relationship with soft-tissue laser gum sculpting. The soft-tissue laser offers a painless, minimally invasive, non-surgical, and extremely successful method to obtain a beautiful smile. The excess gum tissue needs to be eliminated so that your teeth will exhibit their natural length and beauty. Patients heal very quickly, with few problems, and with less discomfort than is usually associated with traditional gum surgery methods or crown lengthening. To insure that the proper gum to tooth ratio is achieved for a beautiful smile, it is important to chose a Bellevue Cosmetic Dentist that has had experience with this soft-tissue laser technique.
For most people with “short teeth” or a “gummy smile”, the dentists at Brookside Dental, Bellevue, WA, will be able to reshape your gums to painlessly create a beautiful new smile with the Odyssey soft-tissue laser. In a very few people that have this laser contouring of the gums, there may be a need to refer them to a dental specialist for some crown lengthening that would involve surgical removal of some of the bony tissue around the teeth. Your Bellevue Dentist at Brookside Dental will be able to quickly evaluate whether or not you will need additional surgery. The case with most people is that only simple soft-tissue laser sculpting will be sufficient to give you a fabulous new smile.
