When your smile shows off too much gum tissue, this can impact your appearance and lead to embarrassment. We have a unique cosmetic treatment that can help reshape your gum line. In today’s blog, your Kansas City, MO, dentist talks about helping smiles with gummy smiles.
When to Seek Gum Contouring
When you show off too much gingival tissue when you smile, this could mean your teeth appear short and uneven, and you may feel self-conscious about your appearance. Instead of trying to hide your smile from the world or feeling uncomfortable in social settings, talk to our team about a solution with cosmetic dentistry. We have a procedure that can address the shape of your gums and remove these excess tissues. Gum contouring only takes one visit to complete, and you can usually return to your normal routine in as little as 24 hours.
Transforming Your Smile
Our team will start by carefully examining your smile and planning the procedure in detail. We then mark the areas of the gums that need to be removed, and we do so with advanced laser dentistry. The laser will allow us to trim away the excess tissues, and in the process, reshape the gum line. Since we don’t use scalpels or sutures, the treated area can heal much quicker and you can return to your normal routine sooner. Our team can use the same technology to help manage periodontal disease too, as we can remove the diseased portions with precision so healthy tissues can attach to the teeth and we can begin managing the issue with traditional cleanings and other preventive treatments moving forward.
The Benefits of Dental Lasers
Lasers can target the areas that need treatment with precision, so you don’t risk damage to healthy tissues. The process also destroys harmful oral bacteria, so the risk of swelling, infection, and even bleeding is reduced. The procedure is also comfortable, and rarely needs any anesthesia too! If you have other cosmetic complaints about your teeth, we could combine gum contouring with veneers, bonding, or even teeth whitening so you enjoy a smile makeover. If you have any questions about gum contouring or about any of our other cosmetic treatment options, then contact our team today. We can help you schedule your first visit of 2025, so you can start a new year on the path to a new smile!
