Question 1

Is laser gum treatment painful?

Accepted Answer

No. Most patients report only mild discomfort and need just local anesthesia or sometimes none at all. There is no cutting or stitching in most cases.

Question 2

How long does recovery take?

Accepted Answer

You can usually return to normal activities the same day. Gums settle and tighten over 4-6 weeks as healing completes.

Question 3

Will my receding gums grow back?

Accepted Answer

Receded gum tissue does not regrow on its own, but the inflammation that is causing the recession can be stopped and the position stabilised. In selected cases gum grafting can restore the contour.

Question 4

How often will I need this treatment?

Accepted Answer

After initial therapy, most patients need a maintenance cleaning every 3-4 months instead of the usual 6. This keeps the condition under long-term control.
