What is Gum Recontouring?
If an even gumline is what you want to see when you look in the mirror each day, gum recontouring is the kind of cosmetic service that can deliver. Designed to remove excess soft oral tissue, the procedure reveals more of your teeth, creating a balanced and more aesthetically pleasing smile. This process is also used to expose the structure of a damaged or decayed tooth that requires a custom restoration for optimal protection.
How Does Gum Recontouring Work?
The gum recontouring process requires an initial consultation with Dr. Antoon. This visit will include evaluating your gum tissue, discussing your goals and concerns, and creating a treatment plan that aligns with what you hope to accomplish with cosmetic treatment.
On the day of your procedure, you will receive local anesthesia to numb your mouth so that you feel no discomfort during the process. Dr. Antoon will then begin removing excess tissue around your teeth, creating an even gumline that looks more natural and beautiful than before.
After treatment is complete, you will be instructed to spend time at home recovering and to follow detailed instructions for successful aftercare. This may include a soft-food diet until your gums are fully healed.
