Gum Recontouring

Smile Makeover Specialist

When gum tissue appears more prominent than your teeth, it can cause your smile to look unbalanced or disproportionate. For some people, unhealthy gums may appear red and irritated, instead of a healthy pink tone. Gum reshaping offers Indiana cosmetic dentistry patients an innovative way to change the look of their overly “gummy” smiles. Also referred to as gingival contouring or gum recontouring, this procedure can help you get noticeable results in a painless, laser-driven process.

A Simple Solution That Can Dramatically Improve Your Smile

If uneven or unhealthy gums are causing you to be self-conscious about your smile, you should consider gum recontouring. Dr. Deldar will be removing small amounts of gum tissue to reveal more of the white, attractive enamel underneath. Before the invention of the soft-tissue laser, gum reshaping required cutting or surgical removal. Now, with help from state-of-the-art laser technology, the removal of gum tissue is painless and the healing process is comparatively very quick. The result is an even, balanced gum appearance and the illusion of longer teeth.

The Gum Recontouring Process

Here is a short summary of what you can expect during gum reshaping at Advanced Cosmetic Dentistry & TMJ:

Dr. Deldar will give you a local anesthetic to numb the gum tissue.
Using precise measurements for the standard height of healthy or normal gum tissue, Dr. Deldar will vaporize excess gum tissue using the targeted soft-tissue laser.
In some cases, Dr. Deldar will need to remove a small amount of bone tissue to prevent the gum tissue from growing back.
After treatment, you will notice a very symmetrical gum shape that perfectly frames your teeth.
