What Causes Uneven Gums?
Several factors can contribute to an uneven gum line, including genetics, health conditions, and certain medications. Excessive gum tissue can make your teeth look unnaturally short and can affect your overall smile aesthetics.
Benefits of Gum Contouring
- Improved Smile Aesthetics: By adjusting the gum line to expose more of the tooth, gum contouring can make your teeth look more proportionate and visually appealing.
- Boosts Confidence: A more balanced smile can significantly boost your self-esteem and confidence in social or professional settings.
- Long-lasting Results: Gum contouring results are permanent, so you can enjoy your new smile without needing additional treatments.
What to Expect During the Procedure
The procedure is typically performed in one visit and takes about an hour, depending on the extent of the contouring. After applying a local anesthetic to numb the area, our skilled dentists use advanced laser technology to trim excess gum tissue and reshape the gum line. This method not only ensures precision but also minimizes bleeding and reduces healing time.
Post-Procedure Care & Recovery
Recovery from gum contouring is generally quick. You may experience some tenderness and swelling for the first few days, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers and cold compresses. We’ll provide detailed aftercare instructions and recommend eating soft foods and avoiding spicy or seeded foods until your gums have healed.
