Cosmetic Dentistry
If too much gum tissue shows when you smile (gum-to-tooth ratio), you have an uneven gumline, or issues with gum pocketing (trapped bacteria), gum contouring may benefit you.
However, your cosmetic dentist in Royal Palm Beach, near Wellington, will evaluate your case to determine whether you're a good candidate for gum contouring.
The Gum Contouring Procedure
Under local or general anesthesia, the dentist carefully reshapes, lifts, or repositions the gums to enhance your smile or treat gum disease by reducing gingival pockets. Recovery from gum contouring is typically prompt, but your dentist will provide aftercare instructions if necessary.
To maintain your gum contouring and general dental health, it's essential to:
- Continue visiting the dentist every six months for checkups and teeth cleanings.
- Continue brushing and flossing after meals or at least twice daily.
- Talk to your dentist about oral health changes sooner rather than later.
Gum contouring can be used on its own or as part of a full smile makeover in Royal Palm Beach, FL.
