Sometimes one or more of your teeth may look longer or shorter than others. A tooth may need restoration below the gum line and we need to expose more of the tooth surface to repair the bone. At Lompoc Family Dental we use crown lengthening to remove excess gum and bone tissue to align your smile and repair bone tissue.
A soft-tissue laser is an amazing tool. It removes tissue with very minimal discomfort and no bleeding. No stitches are required and you heal very quickly. This eliminates the need for traditional gum surgery, which involved cutting the tissue and then stitching it closed. A soft-tissue laser is part of modern dentistry that improved treatment and has increased patient comfort.
