Gum Recontouring Treatment
Gums play a crucial role just like your teeth. A smile is a harmonious balance of the teeth, gums, and surrounding lips. Gum recontouring or shaping can improve the appearance of both the teeth and gums.
A stunning and ideal smile depends on various factors, with the shape and size of the teeth relative to the gums being among the most crucial. Achieving the proper balance between gums and teeth is essential, as an imbalance can lead to a smile that may cause embarrassment.
When the gums cover a significant portion of the teeth or become highly visible when smiling, it is known as a ‘Gummy Smile.’ For patients whose gums obscure too much of their teeth, a cosmetic dental procedure called Gum Recontouring offers a solution. This procedure can correct an uneven gum line and enhance your smile to one you can be proud of.
Most people have their gums reshaped to improve the appearance of their smile. Gum Recontouring can be done in t he following situations :
Excessive Gum Coverage: When the gum line extends too far down and obscures a significant portion of the teeth.
Misaligned Gum Contours: When the shape of the gums does not match the shape of the teeth.
Uneven Gum Line: When the gum line is asymmetrical, appearing either too high or too low on a particular tooth.
Swollen Gums from Periodontal Disease: Gum inflammation caused by gum disease.
Medication-Induced Gum Enlargement: Gum overgrowth resulting from certain medications.
Gum Recontouring Procedure
If any of these issues make you hide your smile or negatively impact your self-confidence and mental well-being, then gum recontouring is a procedure worth considering.
Gum contouring is a procedure typically performed with a scalpel or soft tissue lasers to trim away excess gum tissue covering the front teeth. The healing time is generally short, and it is accelerated when lasers are used. In some cases, reshaping the gums alone may not be sufficient, and the cosmetic dentist might need to remove some of the surrounding bone. This bone removal is only done when the biological width of the gums is inadequate, as the gums may otherwise regrow.
