How To Treat Gingival Hyperplasia

Laser Excision

Laser excision is a surgery that removes the affected gum disease through the use of a laser. These lasers use focused beams of light to effectively cut through the tissue. The best aspect of this surgery is it's quick and highly accurate. The lasers used during this procedure will almost always provide highly precise cuts, which means all healthy tissue will remain intact. While this is a relatively simple procedure, patients will want to ask their surgeon about the risks before they obtain it. The main risks of laser excision include pain, bleeding, scarring, or the development of an infection. Patients will either be provided with local or general anesthesia before the procedure occurs. Once all of the tissue has been removed, the plaque situated at the roots of teeth will be scraped away.
