Laser Gum & Frenum Treatment

Soft-tissue laser procedures used to reshape the gums, release a restrictive lip or tongue frenum, calm sensitive teeth and support tissue healing. A dental laser cuts and treats gum tissue precisely with little bleeding and is often more comfortable than conventional surgery. Common uses include tidying an uneven gum line, frenectomy for a tight frenum, and biostimulation to aid recovery. Procedures are short and carried out in the practice.

Laser dentistry uses a focused beam of light energy to treat the soft tissues of the mouth precisely. At Stomatologia Pietrzyccy a soft-tissue laser is used for several procedures: correcting the contour of the gums so the gum line looks more even and harmonious, releasing a frenum — the small fold of tissue connecting the lip or tongue — when it is tight enough to affect movement, speech, gum recession or denture fit, easing tooth hypersensitivity, and biostimulation to support the healing of tissues. Working with a laser allows the tissue to be shaped or released with good precision and typically with less bleeding than a scalpel, because the laser seals small vessels as it works; many patients find recovery comfortable. A frenectomy releases a restrictive frenum, gum-contour correction (gingivoplasty) refines the shape of the gum margin and can be part of improving the appearance of a smile, and low-level biostimulation is associated with supporting comfort and recovery after dental procedures. These treatments are usually quick, often completed in a single short visit, and the dentist will explain what to expect and any simple aftercare. Suitability and whether a laser approach is the best option for a given situation are confirmed at consultation, sometimes alongside other planned dental work.
