Cosmetic dentistry doesn’t just mean brightening teeth or reshaping them. When you have a smile that shows off too much gum tissue, this could impact your appearance. But our team can offer a cosmetic treatment designed to address the gums. In today’s blog, your Astoria, NY, dentist talks about gum contouring, and how this same-day treatment can offer stunning results of your smile!
When Smiles Need Gum Contouring
Sometimes, there are issues with the growth and development of your smile and the eruption of your teeth that lead to too much periodontal tissue being on display, which can make teeth appear short or uneven. There could also be misshapen or even bumpy portions of your gums. All of this impacts the appearance of your smile, and could be a source of embarrassment. But our team can help improve the appearance and symmetry of your gums with a unique gum contouring procedure.
The Contouring Process
Our team will begin by gently marking the areas of the gums that need to be removed, and then using an advanced radiosurgery unit, we will carefully trim these away and reshape the gum line in the process. This exposes more tooth structure and ensures your smile appears more even and attractive. The procedure itself only takes one visit to complete, and most people return to their normal activities after a day or two of rest. You see results immediately, and can feel confident in your smile’s appearance.
Related Cosmetic Treatments
Sometimes, we can offer a smile makeover by combining multiple cosmetic treatments. For example, we can whiten your teeth afterward to brighten your smile. If you have concerns with the shape of the teeth or with gaps between the teeth, we could discuss dental bonding or contouring, which takes one visit to complete. We also have custom porcelain veneers to offer major transformation in your smile. In fact, veneers alone could transform your smile.
