Periodontal Plastic Surgery | Helotes, TX
Laser Technology Offers More Effective, Comfortable Periodontal Surgeries
Minimally Invasive Treatment Options
While periodontal plastic surgery might sound intimidating, Dr. Nancy Perez-Medina uses gentle laser technology instead of scalpels when possible, in order to reduce the impact of gum surgery. Using lasers to perform a frenectomy, crown lengthening, or a gingivectomy offers her patients less bleeding, less pain, and a faster recovery time. Call us today to discuss your options for plastic gum surgery in Helotes, TX.
Frenectomy
A frenectomy removes the frenum—a piece of muscle tissue attached to the gums and lips or cheeks. The frenum can restrict the motion of the mouth, cause a gap to open up between the front two teeth or can even cause this gap to open after orthodontics have closed it. With a minimally invasive laser procedure, Dr. Perez-Medina can remove the frenum with minimal pain or bleeding.
Crown Lengthening
Crown lengthening corrects a gummy smile. For esthetic reasons, we perform it to display more of your beautiful teeth. We also perform lengthening for medical reasons when the excessive gum tissue is hiding infection or making it difficult to place a dental crown. If your smile displays too much gum tissue and not enough teeth, schedule a consultation today.
Gingivectomy
Sometimes hormone changes, medications or gum disease can cause the gums to become swollen and overgrown. This can be treated with a gingivectomy—a procedure that removes the overgrown gum tissue and restores the beauty of your gums. Because Dr. Perez-Medina uses lasers to perform gingivectomies, you can expect an extra level of precision and a more comfortable procedure.
