Gum Contouring
A Better Smile With Gum Contouring
Gum contouring is the quick and easy way to improve your smile. “Gummy smiles” are very common. It is caused by overgrowth of the gum tissue that covers the teeth. This occurrence can be caused by a variety of things, including heredity, health conditions and even the use of many common high blood pressure medications. A gummy smile can dominate the mouth, and make the teeth seem almost secondary in appearance.
With gum contouring, using a laser, a Periodontist can change the look and shape of the gums. The laser actually vaporizes unnecessary and unsightly tissue with unmatched accuracy and effectiveness. What is left in the place of the overgrown gums is a healthy-looking, well-proportioned smile. The process takes only a few minutes for most, and there is usually very little discomfort.
