What is Gum Recontouring?
Gum recontouring is a cosmetic treatment designed to improve the aesthetics of your smile. If excess tissue exists around your teeth giving you a “gummy smile,” Dr. Kandov can use a soft tissue laser and remove the tissue to show more of your natural tooth structure and create an even, balanced appearance.
Who is a Good Candidate?
Gum recontouring is an ideal solution if you:
- Have a “gummy smile”
- Want your teeth to appear longer
- Need additional tooth structure to ensure proper placement of a dental crown (crown lengthening)
But it is necessary that you have generally good oral health. This means you must not have any signs of tooth decay or gum disease, as you will need to allow Dr. Kandov to treat these issues first before moving forward with gum recontouring.
How Does the Procedure Work?
Before you can undergo the process of gum recontouring, your cosmetic dentist in Doylestown will need to examine your smile and determine if you are a qualified candidate. If so, she will schedule your procedure.
The process itself is much easier and precise because Dr. Kandov uses a soft tissue laser. Thanks to the improved accuracy, this laser touches only the tissue that needs to be removed and nothing else. Cauterizing as it moves along the gum line, the laser’s precision allows for minimal bleeding and swelling, which ensures you spend less time recovering.
Dr. Kandov will move the laser in such a way that it sculpts and shapes your gum line so that it is even and creates a beautiful, pleasing aesthetic.
Benefits of Gum Recontouring
This type of cosmetic procedure offers patients a wide array of benefits that cannot be attained with any other treatment. Unlike most dental services that focus solely on your teeth, gum recontouring makes it possible to address the soft oral tissues of your mouth.
As a recipient, you can expect:
- A procedure that is precise and accurate because of the use of a soft tissue laser. Not only is there minor bleeding and swelling, but its use cuts down on the potential for infection while healing at home.
- Enhanced aesthetics that allow you to feel more confident in the way you look, allowing you to embrace new and exciting opportunities.
- Improved oral health, as excess gum tissue tends to increase your risk for gum disease. By removing the unnecessary tissue, you can rest easier knowing your oral health is in better shape.
