When you have a gummy smile, showing off too much gum when you smile, this could be a source of embarrassment, and even cause complications for your oral health. But our team can offer a cosmetic solution in one visit using advanced technology! In today’s blog, your Celina, TX, dentist talks about laser gum contouring.
The Impact of a Gummy Smile
As we touched on above, a gummy smile means that you display too much gingival tissues when you smile. This can cause embarrassment, and even lead to teeth appearing small or uneven. No amount of veneer placement or teeth whitening can correct the issue. Instead, you need a unique cosmetic treatment designed specifically to address issues with the gums.
Improving Smile Beauty
With gum contouring, we will use a soft tissue laser to gently remove the excess tissues. We start by marking the periodontal tissues that need to be removed, and then use the laser to trim these away, sculpting the gum line at the same time to ensure optimal symmetry. The entire procedure only takes one visit, and many people return to their normal routines after only 24 to 48 hours. Lasers mean we don’t need scalpels or sutures, so there is a faster healing period. We can target the areas with precision to prevent damage to healthy tissues. The technology also reduces the risk of bleeding, infection, and swelling. The procedure is also quite comfortable and rarely needs dental anesthesia. You can obtain a stunning new smile in only one visit!
Taking on Periodontal Disease
If you also have a severe case of periodontal disease, then our team can use the same soft tissue lasers to help. We will gently trim away the diseased portions of the tissues, so healthy ones can reattach to the teeth. This means we can manage the disease moving forward with a more preventive approach, including dental cleanings every three to four months. The technology can also help remove decay, brighten teeth, and even shrink cold and canker sores so they heal much faster.
If you have any questions about how we contour the gum line with our advanced laser technology, or if you have issues that need immediate attention, then please reach out to our team today to learn more. We want to ensure you enjoy optimal oral health and a smile that makes you feel confident!
