What Is Gum Recontouring?
Gum recontouring is a procedure that involves changing the shape of the gums to be more aesthetically pleasing. This treatment is usually recommended for those with the following cosmetic concerns.
- Excess Gum Tissue: If you have a “gummy smile,” where there is too much gum tissue covering the teeth, gum recontouring can help by removing extra tissue to expose more of the enamel.
- Uneven Gumline: If there is too much gum coverage in certain areas, gum recontouring can be used to achieve an even smile.
How Does Gum Recontouring Work?
During your consultation, we will ensure that you are an ideal candidate for this cosmetic procedure. If your teeth appear smaller than they should due to excess gum tissue, you are likely a good candidate. Instead of using traditional techniques that use scalpels and sutures, we use a dental laser for a more precise, comfortable, and effective results. This handheld device is used to alter the gumline. It cauterizes the tissue as it goes, minimizing pain and possible bleeding. It also shortens your recovery time.
After your procedure, you can expect to feel some soreness, but this should be easy to manage with saltwater rinses and over-the-counter pain relievers. If you have any questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to contact us.
