What if you have a smile that shows off too much periodontal tissue? If so, we can remove these excess tissues and reshape your gum line with precision! In today’s blog, your team at Delightful Dental Care in Kansas City, MO, talks about boosting the beauty of your smile with gum contouring, providing results in only one day!
Gummy Smiles
If you have a gummy smile, this means that you show off too much periodontal tissue when you smile. This can make your teeth appear short or uneven. No amount of teeth whitening or other cosmetic treatments will be able to address the issue, instead you need something that targets the soft tissues specifically. With gum contouring, we can reshape the gum line with precision and accuracy using advanced and comfortable laser treatment. In one visit you could see immediate results!
Help With Gum Contouring
Our team will begin by examining your smile and marking the areas of your gums that need to be removed. We then use a dental laser to gently trim away the excess portions, and then we take care to ensure the gum line is symmetrical and even afterward, so you have an attractive smile. The process takes one visit and since we don’t need scalpels or sutures, the area will heal quickly. There is also a reduced risk of swelling, bleeding, and infection, and you can usually return to your normal routine after a day or two of rest. In one sitting we can transform the appearance of your gum line!
Managing Periodontal Disease
The same technology can help our team remove diseased tissues and destroy harmful bacteria to manage periodontal disease, so we can help you avoid tooth loss and other major complications.
Tooth Contouring
Did you know that we also offer a special contouring procedure for your teeth? This also only takes one visit but we don’t use lasers. Instead, we will gently sand and buff outer structure to smooth away grooves, pits, and rough portions of outer tooth structure. We also dull portions of your teeth that are sharp, jagged, and pointed. Our team can also correct the appearance of chipped teeth or overly large ones.
If you have any questions about how we help reshape your gums with contouring, or about periodontal care and tooth contouring, then contact our team today. We want to help you enjoy good oral health and a more attractive smile, so start the process now and enjoy your best-looking smile this summer!
