Some individuals have decided that their gums rest too low in their mouth, meaning that more of the teeth are exposed to view – giving the visual impression of long teeth. Receding gums due to age factors are different from low gums due to genetics or periodontal disease.
Others have decided that their gums are too high for their mouth and teeth – presenting the appearance that their teeth are too small. This is also a condition that can arise due to genetics, as well as from health problems and even certain prescription drugs.
This can be an embarrassing condition for patients, who find themselves uncomfortable smiling and laughing in public due to their appearance. Still others find that their gum line is not symmetrical – uneven gum tissue causes some teeth to look smaller or larger than others due to uneven gingival margins.
From a cosmetic perspective, all three scenarios present teeth and smiles that are not aesthetically pleasing. Even if the gum line discrepancy is barely discernible to others, the individual patient is aware of their smile’s deficits and this can lead to depression, low self-esteem, and even complications in relationships.
The good news is, gingival recontouring – otherwise known as cosmetic gum reshaping – is a remarkably simple cosmetic dental procedure that can be performed right in Pearl E Whites Dental Clinic.
The tissue heals very quickly and also with very little discomfort. Gum contouring can improve one’s appearance, smile, and tooth proportions, resulting in a very significant and satisfying result for the dental patient!
Gum contouring alone is considered a cosmetic procedure. Most of the time it is not medically necessary. Most people have their gums reshaped to improve the appearance of their smile. However, some people undergo gum contouring surgery as part of other necessary periodontal procedures, such as crown lengthening, pocket reduction, and regenerative procedures.
The cost of gum contouring depends on the extent of the work being done. Talk to your dentist about the cost based on your individual needs.
Before surgery, your doctor should go over what he or she will be doing during the procedure. Often, dentists will use a pen and draw a line to mark the new gum line. That way, you can see exactly how much gum will be removed or how the gum line will be reshaped.
A local anesthetic may be applied to numb the area. Sometimes, bone at the front of the tooth's root must also be removed during gum contouring to get the best long-term results.
The day of surgery, you should rest and limit your activities. It may take a few days or weeks for your gums to heal completely. Your dentist will give you specific directions about what you need to do to aid the recovery process.
We want each and every one of our patients to leave Pearl-E-Whites Dental Clinic with the brightest and most comfortable smile possible, through the best cosmetic and restorative procedures available.
