Hello Lisa:
Haven't heard of this type of revision/repair/resurfacing, but I'm sure you'll be hearing from others. This procedure, being done by lasers instead of surgery (cutting), sounds promising. Is your doctor an ENT or oral surgeon, or what kind of doctor is he? He sound like he knows what will solve your problem - you're lucky, I go to doctors for problems and they sometimes act addled (is that a word?). Anyway, hope others can give you their experiences and you will get relief soon.
