An unbalanced ‘gummy’ smile can even lower a person’s self-esteem to the point where they avoid social or public situations altogether.
The good news is that there is a cosmetic treatment available that can help – gum contouring. Camberley patients concerned about their uneven gum line can visit the team at Smile Success for the latest cosmetic treatment that reshapes the gums.
At Smile Success, we use the latest laser technology to remove or reposition gum without the need for sutures. On occasions where laser technology cannot be used, a scalpel may be used to cut the gum precisely, and sutures may be applied to keep the gum in place. Either way, the area will first be numbed with an anaesthetic.
The length of the procedure will vary depending on your needs, but generally, patients can expect a 1–2-hour treatment, after which they’re free to go home. The result is perfectly aligned gums that are in better proportion with the teeth.
Post-treatment, patients should expect some degree of tenderness, but we will prescribe some pain relief and a course of antibiotics. Typically, any discomfort normally subsides within a few days.
Patients often tell us that any slight discomfort is well and truly worth it in return for a beautifully even smile.
Gums that cover or show a large portion of the teeth are often the result of genetics. While an uneven gum line may make a smile look unbalanced, gum contouring is a chairside procedure that reshapes/recontours the gums and is normally carried out in one sitting.
Visually, a symmetric smile line looks more appealing, but from an oral health perspective, gum contouring can also reposition gum that has receded, thus protecting an existing tooth and tooth root from exposure to bacteria and plaque.
Additionally, patients who have an excess of gum tissue can trap food particles within it, making cleaning difficult. Patients living with this condition often report gum irritation and are more susceptible to gum disease, like gingivitis or periodontitis, so dentists may often recommend gingival sculpting.
If you have a gummy smile or receding gums, it’s good to know that you don’t have to suffer in silence. Instead, ask us about the latest gum contouring treatment in Camberley. During a consultation, we’ll talk you through the process so you’re fully informed and know what to expect before you commit.
