When you have a gummy smile, one that displays too much gingival tissue or makes the teeth appear uneven, you could obtain a more attractive smile with cosmetic dentistry. With gum contouring, we can transform the beauty of the smile in only one visit by reshaping your gum line. In today’s blog, your Virginia Beach, VA, dentist talks about gum contouring.
When Smiles Need Contouring
As we mentioned above, this could help correct a gummy smile. When we display too much gingival tissues, this could make our teeth appear small, misshapen, or uneven. Treatment could correct these conners and restore the beauty of the smile.
The Treatment Process
Our team will carefully examine the smile and then mark the tissues that need to be removed or reshaped. We then employ a dental laser to gently trim away these excess tissues and reshape the gum line to improve overall symmetry. The lasers can do this without damaging healthy tissues, and in only one visit. The procedure rarely needs any anesthesia, and the use of lasers reduces the risk of swelling, bleeding, and infection afterward. Most people actually return to normal routines after only a day of rest!
Benefits for Patients
Our team can use these to help improve the overall beauty of your smile, so you can laugh and pose for pictures without hesitation, and feel more confident when meeting new people. But what if you have periodontal disease? For an advanced case of the disease, we could use the same technology to gently remove the diseased tissues, so healthy ones can adhere to the teeth and reduce the depth of periodontal pockets. Moving forward, we can manage the disease and safeguard your smile with dental cleanings every three to four months. In addition to improving the beauty of the smile, we can help tackle periodontal disease to protect your smile from the later stages linked to adult tooth loss.
If you have any questions about gum contouring, then contact our team today to learn more. In addition to this procedure, we can also offer professional teeth whitening, dental bonding and contouring, porcelain veneers, and more to help improve the overall beauty of your smile, often in as little as one to two visits.
