Laser in Crown Lengthening

We all want to have a perfect smile without any imperfect teeth positioning or too gummy. To solve this issue we have  treatment called crown lengthening. 
The portion of the tooth that protrudes above the gum is called the crown, or clinical crown. Sometimes certain people don't have enough clinical crown of the tooth protruding, for either aesthetic considerations, or optimal dental health. It's what is often referred to as a œgummy smile.
Crown Lengthening is the removal of portions of the gum to expose more of the crown. This can be achieved in two ways, either through surgical procedure or, secondly, by the use of laser technology.
The new technology of laser in crown lengthening has made everything easier.
Working of  Laser Treatment
Lasers emit light at various wavelengths. In addition to the emission of light energy, lasers are also able to concentrate that light energy into extremely small spots of light. Most dental lasers work in a range of 0,25 mm to 1,25 mm. As the human body is composed of 70% water, and this is particularly true of soft gum tissue, the tiny spot of light vaporizes the tissue by using the body's ability to absorb laser light, which in turn generates heat. The amount of light absorbed is in direct proportion to the wavelength emitted.
In laser crown lengthening, the laser can be used either to ablate (vaporize) the tissue required, or to use as one would a scalpel. In both cases, it is the exposure of more tooth material that is required.
How to prepare for the treatment?
A person who is interested in crown lengthening should see their dentist for a check-up and to discuss the suitability of the procedure. It is important to have healthy gums and good overall health before the surgery. To support the health of the gums and teeth, it is highly recommended:
1) brushing the teeth regularly
2) flossing at least once a day
3) using mouthwash
4) visiting the dentist annually for a comprehensive
evaluation
Before the procedure, the periodontist performs a pre-surgical analysis to determine the new location of the gum-line. They will also assess the teeth, gum, and surrounding structures. This information helps them decide upon the most appropriate surgical technique.
Benefits of Laser treatment
1) Less bleeding during the treatment.
2) It is less time consuming than conventional methods.
3) There is a significantly shorter healing time after laser crown lengthening, and less post-operative pain.
4) Use of local anesthesia's are enough for laser treatment.
5) Laser Crown Lengthening is noiseless. The patient relaxes far more during the procedure.
The cost for the treatment varies across regions. However throughout India it ranges from 5,000-30,000.
