Get the Perfect Smile You've Always Wanted With Gum Contouring
The appearance of your gums greatly influences your smile. For those with a gummy smile, a gum lift or gingivectomy can restore balance by removing excess gum tissue. This can be done through laser treatment, which is minimally invasive and offers quick results with little recovery time.
If the gum removal exposes the tooth’s root, additional treatments like porcelain veneers or bonding may be needed to cover the exposed areas and enhance the overall appearance. Whether you need minor contouring or a more comprehensive procedure, we are here to help you achieve a beautiful, confident smile.
In more severe cases where both gum and bone removal are needed, a more advanced procedure may be required. Traditionally, this involved cutting the gum, creating a flap, removing bone, and suturing the tissue. Today, this procedure can be performed with a specialized laser, significantly reducing healing time and postoperative discomfort. The best approach for your case will depend on the skill and expertise of your dentist.
