The State-of-the-Art Treatment for Gum Health, Symmetry and a Beautiful Smile
Specializing in better smiles and better oral health
Laser gingivectomy uses cutting-edge laser technology to remove excess gum tissue. This high-precision process carefully removes excess tissue and reshapes the gum line. This treatment offers benefits for both oral health and aesthetics. It is often used towards the end of orthodontic treatment to further enhance the visual appeal of the newly aligned teeth. With laser gingivectomy, gum symmetry can be achieved, tooth length and size can be enhanced, and the entire smile will benefit from enhanced microesthetics.
Who Could Benefit from Laser Gingivectomy?
There are several types of patients who can benefit from this treatment. From an aesthetic point of view, laser gingivectomy is an easy, non-invasive method of reducing swollen or misshapen gums, correcting the appearance of a ‘gummy smile’, enhancing smile and facial symmetry, and boosting self-confidence.
From a health perspective, this treatment is excellent for combating excessive gum growth, which can create deeper than normal periodontal pockets, a condition where the gums around the teeth form a large space that can trap bacteria and food.
Laser gingivectomy also increases the visible, accessible surface of the tooth, so it can be a useful procedure to undergo in conjunction with other dental or orthodontic treatment, such as having braces or Invisalign treatment. It works well to enhance the visible smile and reduce the aging effect that can occur when teeth appear short and worn.
What is a Board-Certified Orthodontist?
Dr. Durschlag took the additional, voluntary step of becoming certified by the American Board of Orthodontics (ABO). This is the highest distinction in his field and something only about half of all orthodontists attain. The process takes years and hundreds of hours of preparation. Dr. Durschlag had to pass written and oral exams and present and defend cases to demonstrate a high level of clinical skill.
Dr. Durschlag must complete continuing education and renew his certification every 10 years, ensuring he remains on the leading-edge of his field. According to the ABO, board certification demonstrates an orthodontist’s “personal and public commitment to the standard of specialty practice and lifelong learning.”
