What Is Gum Contouring?
If you've ever been told that you have a "gummy" smile, you might be a candidate for gum contouring treatments at Suite 905. Also known as gum reduction surgery, gum contouring is a dental procedure that alters the shape of your gumline by removing excess tissue, improving both the aesthetic and health of your smile by eliminating gum pockets where bacteria can get trapped. Whether performed on its own or with other dental restoration treatments, gum contouring can be an effective solution for patients looking to enhance the symmetry of their gums, improve oral health, or address recession-related sensitivity. Schedule a consultation with Dr. Svetlana Orit Faradjewa or Dr. Sheila Faradjewa in New York, NY today to learn how gum contouring can help you address a gummy smile.
How Does Laser Gum Contouring Work?
Gum sculpting treatments are typically performed at Suite 905 using local anesthesia, but we do offer more potent nitrous oxide sedation for patients who might struggle with anxiety around dental offices. Before starting, we'll clean and dry the teeth and gums. Once the area has been prepared, we'll use our practice's advanced dental laser to carefully cut away excess gum tissue and sculpt a more balanced gumline. The laser cauterizes the soft tissue for minimal bleeding during the treatment. After finishing, we'll clean the gums again and discuss aftercare instructions, which will include tips on managing discomfort and foods you should avoid while your gums heal.
