Aesthetic gum treatment, also known as gum reshaping or gum contouring, is a dental procedure that is used to improve the appearance of the gums. This treatment can be used to correct a variety of issues, including gums that are uneven or too high or low, or gums that cover too much or too little of the tooth.
The process for aesthetic gum treatment typically involves the following steps:
Consultation: The first step is to consult with us to determine if gum reshaping is the right option for you. Our dentist will evaluate your oral health and the condition of your gums to determine if you are a good candidate for the procedure.
Planning: If you are a good candidate for gum reshaping, Our dentist will create a treatment plan that is tailored to your specific needs.
Anesthesia: Before the procedure, our dentist will numb the area with a local anesthetic to make the treatment as painless as possible.
Reshaping: Our dentist will use a laser or scalpel to carefully remove excess gum tissue and shape the gums to the desired appearance. The procedure is typically done in small increments to ensure the best possible outcome.
Healing: After the gum reshaping is complete, the gums will need to heal. Our dentist will provide instructions for aftercare and pain management to help ensure a smooth recovery.
Overall, the process for aesthetic gum treatment can take one or two visits to us. It is important to follow our dentist's instructions for aftercare and to maintain good oral hygiene to ensure the best possible outcome.
