What Is Gum Recontouring?
Gum recontouring is a procedure that involves changing the shape of the gums to be more aesthetically pleasing. This is usually completed to correct the following cosmetic issues:
- 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 a specific area, gum recontouring can be used to create an even smile.
How Does Gum Recontouring Work?
First, you must attend an initial consultation. During this time, we will ensure that you are a good candidate for gum recontouring. If your teeth appear smaller than they should due to excess gum tissue, you likely are a good candidate.
Instead of using traditional techniques that use scalpels and sutures, we use our Solea Dental Laser for the most precise, comfortable, and effective results. This handheld device is used to alter the gumline. It cauterizes the tissues as it goes, minimizing pain and possible bleeding. It also shortens your recovery time.
After your procedure, you will likely experience slight soreness, but this should be easy to manage with saltwater rinses and over-the-counter pain relievers.
Benefits of Gum Recontouring
The goal of gum recontouring is to help you achieve a smile that makes you feel confident. However, there are numerous other benefits you can experience. Here are the most prominent ones:
- This procedure is permanent, so you don’t need to worry about the gum tissue growing back.
- Gum recontouring creates an even gumline for optimal symmetry.
- Our dental laser reduces the risk of infection.
- Excessive gum tissue can be removed quickly and painlessly.
