Advanced Gum Treatment & Gum Recontouring
Comprehensive periodontal therapies to arrest gum bleeding, pyorrhea, and receding gums, alongside laser-assisted gum recontouring to perfect your smile line.
The Critical Importance of Gum Health
Your gums (gingiva) and underlying alveolar bone serve as the biological foundation securing every tooth in place. When bacterial plaque calcifies into calculus beneath the gumline, chronic toxins trigger inflammation that destroys periodontal ligaments and dissolves bone.
At Hanshitha Clinic, we provide clinical periodontal treatments designed to eliminate bacterial colonies from deep pockets and regenerate healthy gum attachments before irreversible tooth mobility occurs.
Gum Recontouring for Gummy Smiles
Do your teeth look unusually small or does your smile show excessive gum tissue? Our high-precision soft-tissue diode laser sculpts and refines the gum margins in a single 30-minute visit.
- Scalpel-free & suture-free aesthetic sculpting
- Corrects asymmetrical or uneven gum margins
- Reveals natural tooth enamel length
- Instant visual results with fast recovery
Warning Signs of Periodontal Disease
- Gums that bleed easily when brushing, flossing, or eating hard food
- Persistent red, swollen, or tender gum tissue
- Chronic bad breath (halitosis) or sour taste in the mouth
- Teeth appearing noticeably longer due to gum recession
- Pus discharge from between teeth and gums
- Loosening, shifting teeth or changes in your bite
Our Clinical Gum Care Protocols
Deep Root Planing & Curettage
Gentle smoothing of the tooth root surfaces to remove bacterial endotoxins and facilitate gum reattachment.
Laser Pocket Decontamination
Diode laser light sterilizes deep bacterial pockets where mechanical instruments cannot reach, arresting pyorrhea.
Laser Flap Surgery
Minimally invasive access to clean deep bone defects and place regenerative bone grafts to firm up loose teeth.
Gum Recontouring
Aesthetic laser reshaping of excessive gingiva for symmetrical smile lines and gummy smile correction.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do my gums bleed when brushing or spitting?
Bleeding gums are the primary warning symptom of gingivitis — bacterial inflammation triggered by accumulated dental plaque and hardened tartar (calculus) along the gumline. Without clinical scaling and root debridement, gingivitis progresses to periodontitis, causing jawbone destruction.
What is Gum Recontouring (Gingivoplasty)?
Gum recontouring is an aesthetic procedure where excess, bulky, or uneven gum tissue is gently sculpted with a dental diode laser. It exposes more of your natural tooth enamel, correcting a gummy smile and creating a symmetrical, confident smile line.
Is gum surgery painful?
With computerized local anesthesia and our painless soft-tissue diode laser, gum recontouring and periodontal pocket therapy are virtually pain-free. Patients typically experience only mild tenderness for 24 hours.
Can periodontitis and loose teeth be saved?
When detected before severe bone destruction occurs, deep scaling, root planing, and laser flap surgery can eradicate deep bacterial biofilm, reattach healthy gum tissue, and stabilize mobile teeth.
Systemic Health Warning: Chronic gum infections allow bacteria to enter your bloodstream, which medical studies link to elevated risks of heart disease, diabetes complications, and stroke. Prompt gum treatment protects whole-body health.
