FAQ's
Is laser gum contouring painful?
Unlike traditional gum surgery, laser gum contouring is minimally invasive. During and after the procedure, most patients report minimal discomfort. During the procedure, local anesthesia is used to ensure your comfort, and the laser technology naturally seals blood vessels, reducing post-procedure pain and swelling.
How long does the procedure take?
The duration of laser gum contouring varies depending on how much reshaping is needed. It usually takes between 30 minutes and an hour to complete the procedure. Normal activities can typically be resumed the next day for most patients.
Will my insurance cover laser gum contouring?
Insurance coverage varies depending on your plan, as well as the medical necessity of the procedure. Our office staff will work with you to determine your coverage and discuss convenient payment options.
How long do the results last?
Laser gum contouring results are permanent in most cases. Once the gum tissue is removed, it won’t grow back. Despite this, maintaining good oral hygiene can be balanced in order to ensure long-lasting results and prevent gum disease that could affect the appearance of the gum line.
