If you have issues with the surfaces of your gums, or with excessive tissues making teeth look small or uneven, then we can help. We have a cosmetic treatment that can correct the issue in only one visit, with immediate results! In today’s blog, the team at Lake Orion Family Dentistry talks about reshaping your smile with gum contouring.
The Need for Gum Contouring
When do you need to see our team for gum contouring treatment? If you have a gummy smile that displays too much tissue when you smile, this can be a source of embarrassment and also make your teeth look short or uneven. Your gums could also have uneven and bumpy surfaces that impact your appearance and comfort. These tissues could also lead to poor symmetry in your bite. These are cosmetic issues that cannot be addressed with other treatments like veneers or teeth whitening. Instead, we need to address the gums directly, and we can do so with precision and comfort.
Planning Treatment
To begin, we will carefully examine your smile with digital technology to understand the impact of your gummy smile on your appearance. We then gently mark the areas of the gums where we need to remove them and reshape the gum line. We always plan care in detail, and provide a customized and personalized approach to treatment. Our team also focuses on treatments that are more holistic in nature, safer for your smile and your overall health! With gum contouring, we can provide a soft tissues laser to conduct the procedure and offer results in only one visit.
Results in Only One Visit
Our team will use dental lasers, which often don’t require anesthesia at all, to gently remove the excess tissues, taking care to ensure proper symmetry in your smile. The process takes only one sitting, and the results are immediate. Since the technology means no scalpels or sutures, and destroys bacteria in the process, the area heals fast. You could return to your normal routine in as little as a day, and the risk of swelling, bleeding, and infection is much lower. The same technology could help us address severe gum disease to protect your smile from tooth loss.
