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.
What Are the Benefits of Gum Contouring?
From creating a more balanced smile to reducing your risk of periodontal disease, gum reduction surgery offers an effective solution for lasting oral health. Some of the benefits of gum contouring at Suite 905 include:
- Creates a more balanced, symmetrical gumline for an improved smile
- Reduces a gummy smile, making teeth look more proportional
- Removes excess gum tissue, preventing plaque buildup and inflammation
- Minimally invasive, especially with laser techniques
- Provides permanent results with little chance of gum regrowth
- Improves oral health, reducing the risk of gum disease and recession
Suite 905 Reviews
One of the best dentist experiences I’ve had. She made me feel so informed and comfortable. Would definitely recommend!!
I can’t recommend Dr. Orit Faradjewa enough! She is truly a phenomenal dentist. She is so kind, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable. From the moment you walk into her office, you feel comfortable and well taken care of. I had a very complicated crown procedure, and she handled it with such skill and care. She took the time to explain everything clearly, made sure I was comfortable throughout the process, and the results were excellent. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and warm personality really set her apart. I only have the best things to say about her and her practice. Highly recommend!
I can’t say enough good things!! Wish I could give them ten stars!!
I wish I could give suit 905 more than 5 stars. The care here is unmatched! I felt so comfortable. I don’t even know where to start with the positives! Book an appointment! You won’t regret it!!
The doctor took her time to explain everything to me. I highly recommend this dental office to anybody who is looking for a dentist in midtown Manhattan.
