Gum Recontouring
Gum recontouring can bring out the beauty in your smile that you didn’t even know was there. A flawed gum line, or gummy smile, can give the impression of dental flaws, even with perfect teeth. Our dentist can recontour your gums, revealing the natural beauty of your teeth and smile. Your gums have a dramatic impact on the look of your smile.
You may be mistaking gum problems for problems with your teeth.
Gum recontouring can correct:
- Excessive gum tissue
- Red or puffy gums
- Uneven gum line
Problem such as these can make your teeth appear crooked, too short, uneven, unhealthy.
If you have any of these problems, you may not need work on your teeth at all. Gum recontouring is all that you need for a beautiful, healthy smile.
Comfortable and safe
Our dentists use a soft tissue laser for gum recontouring. The soft tissue laser is much more precise and seals the incision as it goes.
Benefits include:
- Reduced discomfort
- Reduced healing time
- Far less swelling
- Greatly lowered risk of infection
- More accurate results
Bringing it all together
Gum recontouring can be performed as a stand alone treatment or in combination with other procedures, such as tooth whitening, or veneers.
