Laser Dentistry
Healthy gum tissue is the foundation for tooth vitality and a beautiful smile. Your gums support your teeth, protecting them from periodontal disease and permitting their many functions.
Due to a variety of factors, your gum tissue can either recede from or encroach on your teeth. When your gums pull away from your teeth, they create the appearance of long, skeletal teeth and a "toothy" smile. When your gums encroach on your teeth, it can create an effect known as a "gummy" smile, where your teeth appear too short, making you look too young for your age.
Through the advent of laser dentistry and gum contouring, Dr. Kelley Fisher can easily resolve both issues. In contrast to traditional instruments, lasers sterilize your gum tissue, disinfect the pockets between your teeth and significantly reduce the degree of tenderness you may experience after treatment. To contour your gum line and create a symmetrical balance between your gums and teeth, Dr. Fisher uses a laser technique instead of any cutting instruments. The laser allows for:
- Minimal bleeding
- Maximum speed
- More precise results
In laser dentistry, an appropriate gum line is a significant compliment to a major restoration. Make sure that your gums enhance your smile by calling Dr. Kelley Fisher today.
Keep Your Gums as Healthy as Your Teeth!
Many of our laser dentistry patients explain how embarrassed they were to smile, fearing a negative reaction from friends, family or colleagues. Thankfully, Issaquah dentist Dr. Kelley Fisher can easily correct both recessive and aggressive gum tissue using advanced laser technology for the safest possible treatment.
The merits of skilled gum contouring cannot be overstated. Other Eastside dentists may possess the expertise to craft a perfectly-shaped tooth, but that's only half the story. If your gums don't fit properly or sit rightly against a new crown, bridge or implant, your smile will suffer. Our Eastside dental solutions either pull back your gum line or extend the length of your teeth. In both cases, the result is a strong, durable foundation for beautiful and long-lasting restorations.
Dr. Fisher's laser techniques allow for predictable results and rapid healing. Although it varies slightly from person to person depending on your specific symptoms, you will typically need to spend 1-3 hours at our Issaquah dental office to complete the procedure.
Your gums are just as important as your teeth. Give them the respect they deserve: call Bellevue dentist Kelley Fisher and learn how laser dentistry can give you the perfectly-balanced smile.
