Gum Reshaping
Gum Reshaping
Excessive gum tissue along the teeth can cause a gummy smile. If you are unhappy with your smile, you may be a candidate for gum contouring surgery.
Gums that cover a large portion of your teeth can make your teeth look small. This may be the result of genetics, a particular health problem, or taking certain prescription drugs. Gums that are too high can make your teeth appear long are often caused by gum recession, Gum recession may also be a sign of periodontal disease, the deterioration of the supporting structures of the teeth (gums and bone) .
"Laser gum reshaping is a minimally-invasive technique and recovery
from gum reshaping is typically minimal."
Our dentists use a laser treatment based on your individual needs to expose more of your teeth and help you achieve the beautiful smile you desire. The dentist will draw a line on your gums with a pen to mark the new gum line. That way, you can see exactly how much gum will be removed or how the gum line will be reshaped. Laser technology enables dentist to precisely remove excess tissue while reshaping your gums giving you the most symmetrical appearance you desire. Laser gum reshaping is a minimally-invasive technique and recovery from gum reshaping is typically minimal. Minor swelling and bleeding is part of the normal healing process and should subside relatively quickly. Any discomfort can be alleviated with pain medication. Results can be seen immediately. You are able to return to your normal daily routine the day after the treatment. For further questions on gum reshaping, please contact Sheppard Jane Dental Clinic for an appointment!
