Gum recontouring is a cosmetic dental procedure that involves reshaping the gum tissue to improve the appearance of your smile. This procedure can address a variety of concerns, including:
Properly proportioned gums are essential for a beautiful smile, as they frame your teeth and contribute to overall facial harmony.
At Dental Partners of Fifth Avenue, we prioritize your comfort and satisfaction. The gum recontouring procedure typically involves the following steps:
• Consultation and Treatment Planning: Our experienced dentist will carefully evaluate your gums, discuss your aesthetic goals, and create a personalized treatment plan. We will explain the procedure in detail and answer any questions you may have.
• Anesthesia: Local anesthesia is administered to numb the gum tissue and ensure a comfortable procedure.
• Gum Reshaping: Using a specialized instrument, often a dental laser or scalpel, the excess gum tissue is gently and precisely removed or reshaped to create the desired contour. Dental lasers offer advantages such as minimal bleeding and faster healing.
• Smoothing and Polishing: The treated gum tissue is smoothed and polished to create a natural and aesthetically pleasing appearance.
The procedure is generally well-tolerated, and the healing process is relatively quick.
