Gum contouring is a cosmetic procedure used to improve the appearance of your teeth and gum line. It’s often used to resolve a gummy smile by removing excessive tissue to reveal more of the tooth’s structure. Not only does this promote your smile, but it can also improve your oral health by reducing your risk of gum disease.
Gum contouring can also repair the damage caused by periodontal disease. It can even be used to treat the infection itself. If the gingival tissue has been altered by injury or trauma, we may also be able to enhance its appearance with the treatment.
Benefits include:
– Improved overall appearance of your smile.
– Reduces your risk of gum disease.
– No need for a scalpel or sutures.
– Reduced risk of bleeding, infection, and swelling.
