Excessive gum tissue or an uneven gumline can make teeth appear short or asymmetrical. This will impact both confidence and oral health. Cosmetic gum contouring is a precise dental procedure designed to reshape the gums, improve aesthetics, and support better oral health.
At Grand Family Dentistry in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, patients can benefit from professional gum contouring services to achieve a harmonious and radiant smile.
Understanding Cosmetic Gum Contouring
Cosmetic gum contouring, also known as crown lengthening, is a dental procedure aimed at reshaping or removing excess gum tissue. The goal is to expose more of your teeth and create a more proportionate and visually appealing smile.
This treatment is often recommended for individuals with a “gummy smile,” where too much gum tissue covers the teeth. This makes them appear smaller than they are. Additionally, the procedure can address an uneven gumline or repair gum damage caused by injury or decay near the gumline.
Our dentists carefully remove small portions of gum tissue to reveal more of the tooth structure during a cosmetic gum contouring procedure. The process is precise, safe, and minimally invasive, often completed in a single appointment. Local anesthesia is used to make sure you feel comfortable throughout the procedure.
Benefits of Professional Cosmetic Gum Contouring
Cosmetic gum contouring offers aesthetic and functional benefits. It’s a transformative treatment for your smile and oral health. One of the most notable benefits of gum contouring is an improved smile appearance.
Excess gum tissue can make teeth look small, uneven, or stubby. We can reveal more of your natural tooth structure by carefully reshaping the gumline. This will create a harmonious and proportional smile that boosts your self-esteem.
Beyond aesthetics, cosmetic gum contouring can also promote better oral hygiene. Excess gum tissue can make it challenging to clean your teeth effectively. This will increase the risk of plaque buildup, gum disease, and decay. Removing the extra tissue, the procedure simplifies brushing and flossing, contributing to long-term oral health.
Contouring can create a smoother, more symmetrical appearance for those who struggle with an uneven gumline caused by genetics, injury, or gum disease. This can make your teeth look healthier and enhance your overall dental alignment.
Additionally, addressing gum issues through professional cosmetic gum contouring reduces the risk of complications like gum infections and damage to teeth near the gumline.
