Gum Contouring and Reshaping
Gum contouring, also referred to as gum reshaping, is a cosmetic dentistry technique in which gum tissue is removed or reshaped to enhance the appearance of the teeth and gums.
People may think about gum contouring for the following common reasons:
- Excessive Gum Display
- Uneven Gum Line
- Gum Recession
- Lengthening Teeth
OVERVIEW OF THE GUM CONTOURING PROCEDURE
The dentist will examine the patient’s oral health. In most cases, gum contouring is performed under local anesthesia. Here, the dentist uses Laser technology to carefully remove or reshape the gum tissue. Patients typically experience minimal discomfort, and the healing process is relatively quick.
After the procedure, patients may be instructed to attend follow-up sessions and adhere to specific post-operative care recommendations in order to track their healing progress after the treatment.
