Gum Contouring

Here's what you can expect

The dentist will set the appointment and use a special pen to paint your gums. Local anesthesia will be used to numb the area where they work. The visit will end with instructions on how to care for yourself, which will include instructions to only eat soft foods.

Gum Contouring

This quick and effective treatment will only take one appointment to complete. During the procedure, a laser will be used. Time required for recovery can vary, but usually, it's between a couple of days and a couple of weeks.

With this treatment, your dentist will remove a small amount of tissue from your gums to make room for a beautiful smile. There is a low risk for any side effects, and you'll recover quickly without needing stitches.

Some people may have injected their lower lip or upper lip with Botox. But this won't solve the problem. Gum contouring will result in long-lasting effects. Smiles will look more natural and they will look great. This can be performed if the person desires to have dental crowns or porcelain veneers placed.

Will this hurt my gums?

To numb the area of the mouth the dentist will be working on, the local anesthesia will be applied. Sedation is an option if you feel uneasy. Advancements in technology have led to an alternative laser treatment for soft tissue which is more comfortable than previous methods.

The laser is sealing up the tissue as it works to reduce bleeding and inflammation. Unlike other options, such as scalpel-based surgery, the laser results in less downtime for recovery.
Nowadays, the whole process of obtaining a great smile is easier than ever.

Gum excess might be to blame for a less-than-perfect appearance. With this treatment, you can get positive results on your first visit.
