Laser Gum Lift:

A healthy and harmonious gum-line is essential for a beautiful smile as the gums are the frame around the teeth. A Gum Lift is a cosmetic dental procedure that raises and sculpts the gum-line. This procedure involves reshaping the tissue to create the appearance of longer and symmetrical teeth, thereby making the smile more aesthetically pleasing. Gum Lift is typically done to reduce excessively “gummy” smiles or to balance out an asymmetrical gum-line.

With WaterLase technology Dr. Zelig performs a virtually pain-free gum lifting procedures. The results are highly aesthetic since WaterLase allows for extreme precision and minimal amount of healing time.

Laser Gum Graft
Receding gums refer to a loss of gum tissue resulting in an exposure of the roots of the teeth. Gum recession is a common problem in adults over the age of 30, but may also occur starting with the teens. Gum recession can cause tooth sensitivity, impair dental aesthetics and in rare cases, can lead to tooth loss.

Our WaterLase technology allows Dr. Zelig to perform gum grafting procedures in minutes with virtually no bleeding of the operated site. Precise WaterLase energy sterilizes the area, dramatically reduces postoperative discomfort, and promoted faster healing.

Laser De-Pigmentation of Gums
Melanin hyper-pigmentation, or dark gums, is prevalent in certain individuals who have darker complexions. These dark spots can cause an undesirable appearance to otherwise healthy, pink gums.

Using Waterlase technology, Dr. Zelig can painlessly and accurately remove these areas of dark pigmentation. Laser treatment of dark gums can be done in as little as one office visit, with very quick healing time.
