Gum Contouring - The Smile Suite

Oct 5, 2018

Welcome to Lawrence Dentistry, your trusted dental partner for all your oral health needs. We specialize in a wide range of dental services, including cosmetic dentistry. Our gum contouring services at The Smile Suite are designed to help you achieve the smile you've always dreamed of, while also improving your oral health.

What is Gum Contouring?

Gum contouring, also known as gum reshaping or tissue sculpting, is a dental procedure aimed at improving the appearance of your gums. It involves removing excessive gum tissue, reshaping the gum line, and exposing more of your teeth. This technique is commonly used to address a gummy smile or irregular gum line.

The Benefits of Gum Contouring

Gum contouring offers various benefits that go beyond just enhancing your smile:

1. Aesthetic Improvement

Gum contouring can significantly improve the appearance of your smile. By removing excess gum tissue, we can create a more balanced and symmetrical gum line, allowing your teeth to become the focal point of your smile. A harmonious gum line can enhance your overall facial aesthetics and boost your confidence.

2. Improved Oral Health

Gum contouring not only enhances your smile but also improves your oral health. Excessive gum tissue can create pockets where bacteria can accumulate, leading to gum infections and other oral health issues. By removing the excess tissue, we can eliminate these hiding spots and reduce the risk of gum diseases, such as gingivitis and periodontal disease.

3. Enhanced Functionality

Gum contouring can also improve the functionality of your teeth. When your gums cover a significant portion of your teeth, it can make brushing and flossing more challenging. By reshaping the gum line, more of your teeth will be exposed, making oral hygiene practices more effective and efficient.

The Gum Contouring Procedure - What to Expect

At Lawrence Dentistry, we prioritize your comfort and satisfaction throughout the gum contouring procedure. Here's a general overview of what you can expect:

1. Consultation

Prior to the procedure, we will conduct a thorough examination of your teeth and gums. Our experienced dentist will discuss your concerns and goals, evaluate your oral health, and determine if gum contouring is the right option for you.

2. Planning

Once we determine that gum contouring is suitable for your needs, our team will create a customized treatment plan. We will explain the steps involved, answer any questions you may have, and ensure you are fully informed before moving forward.

3. Local Anesthesia

To ensure your comfort during the procedure, we will administer local anesthesia to numb the treatment area. This will minimize any potential discomfort or pain.

4. Gum Reshaping

Using advanced dental tools, our skilled dentist will carefully remove the excess gum tissue and reshape the gum line to achieve the desired aesthetic outcome. We will take into consideration factors such as your facial features, teeth size, and overall smile aesthetics to create a natural and balanced result.

5. Recovery and Aftercare

After the procedure, it is normal to experience some mild discomfort and swelling. Our team will provide you with post-operative instructions to ensure a smooth and speedy recovery. This might include maintaining good oral hygiene, avoiding certain foods, and using prescribed medications, if necessary. Follow-up appointments will also be scheduled to monitor your progress and address any concerns.
