Correcting Gummy Smiles with Laser Treatment
Your gums are essential for both your oral health and the look of your smile. Cosmetic gum contouring is a procedure that can enhance both. This gentle process involves removing excess gum tissue to create a more balanced and symmetrical gum line. Our expert cosmetic dentists often suggest laser gum contouring for more precise, comfortable, and aesthetically pleasing results.
Consider Seeking Treatment if You Have a Gummy Smile
Having a gummy smile occurs when the gum line is uneven due to some teeth having more gum tissue covering them than others. This can be caused by genetics, medical conditions, medications, or jawbone abnormalities. In most cases, it is a cosmetic issue that can be corrected with minimally invasive gum contouring. We recommend using advanced laser technology for this procedure as it offers more comfort and superior results compared to traditional methods involving a scalpel.
Benefits of Laser Gum Contouring
By using an advanced soft-tissue laser instead of a traditional scalpel, reshaping your gum line offers several advantages for your treatment. The laser's precision and concentrated heat allow for:
- Contouring your gums with minimal or no bleeding
- Faster and more comfortable healing process
- Immediate healing promotion as the laser passes over your gums
- Reduction of oral bacteria at the contouring site
- Lower risks of periodontal disease formation from uneven gums
- And many other benefits
