When you have a smile that shows off too much gum tissue, this could be a source of embarrassment. Fortunately, we have a cosmetic treatment that can help reshape your gum line! In today’s blog, your Grand Prairie, TX, dentist looks at the benefits of laser gum contouring.
What causes our smile to show off too much gum when we smile? Often, this is due to issues with the growth of the smile and the eruption of the teeth. This could be a source of embarrassment, and also make teeth appear short and uneven. To offer a more attractive smile, you need a way to reshape the gum line, and we can do just that with our laser gum contouring procedure!
The process is often a comfortable one since we use dental lasers, which means little to no need for anesthesia. We will mark the tissues that need to be removed, and then use a dental laser to gently trim away these excess tissues and in the process, reshape the gum line to ensure proper symmetry and beauty. The procedure only takes one visit and since we don’t use scalpels or sutures, it will heal quickly. You can likely return to your normal routine in as little as one or two days. The lasers also destroy harmful bacteria in the process and lower the risk of bleeding, infection, and swelling. We can offer a more attractive smile with precision and accuracy, and comfort too!
What if you have periodontal disease, and the issue is in the late stages, which can increase the risk of tooth loss? With dental lasers, our team can remove the diseased portions of your gingival tissues, which allows our team to reshape the smile and also make the disease manageable with preventive treatments. For example, routine cleanings every three to four months can control buildup and keep the disease in check. If you have any questions about how we employ dental lasers to improve smile beauty with a gum contouring procedure, or how we can better manage periodontal disease to keep your smile strong and healthy, then contact our team today to learn more. We want to help you on your journey to a beautiful and healthy smile, and that starts with a call and consultation!
