Create a Bolder, More Attractive Smile
If you have excess periodontal tissue covering your teeth, it can make them appear shorter or stubbier than they really are. In fact, having a gummy smile can draw attention away from your pearly whites, putting the focus where you don’t want it. With gum recontouring in Taylor, we can permanently remove this superfluous tissue, revealing more of your teeth so your smile looks bolder, brighter, and more attractive!

What is Gum Recontouring?
Gum recontouring in Taylor uses a soft-tissue laser to carefully remove excess periodontal tissue from the bases of the teeth, reshaping the gumline. This results in them appearing larger and more visible when you open your mouth to eat, speak, and smile. Although your gums may be healthy, having a smile that is too “gummy” can draw attention away from the teeth and place it where it doesn’t belong. However, by removing it, we can not only improve the aesthetics of your gorgeous grin but even reduce your risk of dangerous conditions like periodontal disease in the process.
How Does Gum Recontouring Work?
Gum recontouring in Taylor is a safe and effective procedure that can typically be performed on just one visit. Following your consultation appointment, you’ll return to Taylor Choice Dental, where your dentist will administer a local anesthetic to your gums. They will then use the soft-tissue laser to carefully remove only the excess periodontal tissue from the bases of your teeth, revealing more of their healthy structure. Because the soft-tissue laser uses a beam of concentrated light to vaporize the tissue, it has the added benefit of cauterizing as it works. This means that you shouldn’t need sutures following your treatment, and recovery should be much faster and more comfortable than traditional, scalpel-based surgery.
The Benefits of Gum Recontouring
While the most notable benefit of gum recontouring is the improvement of the appearance of your smile, the perks go way beyond just showcasing your beautiful teeth! By removing excess periodontal tissue, your smile (and your face) will have more symmetrical aesthetics, improving your confidence and self-esteem.
Furthermore, because you won’t have as much gum tissue to manage, brushing and flossing will be easier and more effective. In fact, this treatment can even help reduce gum irritation and lower your risk of developing serious conditions like gum disease.
