A gum contouring procedure can help improve the appearance of your gum tissues, taking on the issues that cannot be addressed with teeth whitening or veneers alone. The procedure is fast and comfortable, and the treated area heals quickly too. In today’s blog, your Astoria, NY, dentist talks about gum contouring. You deserve a smile that makes you feel confident, and we can help with cosmetic treatment, like gum contouring!
The Need for Gum Correction
When should you see our team for a gum contouring procedure? The procedure is commonly prescribed to handle gummy smiles, in which factors have caused you to show too much gum tissue when you smile. The procedure could help correct bumps in your gums or imbalance in the overall symmetry, which could make teeth appear short and uneven. The same technology could also be used to help manage periodontal disease to keep your smile healthy and whole.
The Gum Contouring Process
Our team will first numb the area being treated and then gently mark where gums need to be adjusted and reshaped. We then use an advanced radiosurgery unit to carefully trim away the excess tissues and correct the gum line to ensure even results that improve the appearance of your teeth and your smile as a whole. The procedure only takes one visit to complete, and treated areas tend to heal quickly. Most people return to their normal routine after a day or two of rest. We will provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure you enjoy a fast and effective healing period!
A Smile Makeover
What about a smile makeover? For some, we could use the gum contouring procedure in conjunction with other cosmetic treatments to transform your smile. For example, we could remove stains with professional teeth whitening, or use custom veneers to instantly transform the shape and color of the teeth. We could also combine veneers with bonding and contouring for a more cost-effective makeover too. Our team wants to ensure you not only enjoy good oral health and better bite function, but that you feel confident in your appearance and look forward to showing off your smile!
