A laser gingivectomy is a procedure used to address excessive gum tissue, a condition known as gingival hyperplasia. Gingival hyperplasia can lead to issues such as a gummy smile, where too much gum tissue is visible when you’re smiling for the camera. A laser gingivectomy helps to reshape and reduce excess gum tissue, improving the aesthetics of your smile and allowing for better oral hygiene.

A frenectomy is performed to address tight or restrictive frenum attachments in the mouth. There are two main types: lingual frenectomy, which addresses the tissue beneath the tongue, and labial frenectomy, which involves the tissue connecting the upper lip to the gum. Tight frenum attachments can sometimes cause issues with speech, tooth eruption, or discomfort, and a frenectomy helps to release these restrictions.
