Gum Recontouring - Chicago, IL
Gum Recontouring Balances the Gumline and Enhances the Smile’s Beauty
Treatment for Gummy Smiles
When you look in the mirror or at a photograph, do you tend to see more gums when you smile than you do teeth? For some of us, a gummy smile is due to genetics, natural anatomy of our mouth, or because of medications we’ve taken in the past. Fortunately, a minor gummy smile treatment known as gum recontouring can provide significant and fast results. The procedure only takes one appointment to complete.
Why Consider Gum Recontouring in Chicago, IL?
- To help teeth appear fuller, larger
- As part of your anti-aging treatment
- Establishing a healthy gumline
- Before restorative (dental crown) therapy
- To compliment other aesthetic procedures
Gummy smile treatments adjust the natural contour (margin) of your gumlines, helping more tooth structure to be exposed, for a fuller smile.
Minimally Invasive Cosmetic Gum Recontouring
Adjusting the margins of your gumlines is a safe and predictable treatment solution for our patients with gummy smiles. Changing the contours of your gums makes more tooth structure visible, giving you fuller looking teeth. Depending on the extent of the gum tissue that needs to be adjusted, Dr. Lopez may choose to use soft tissue lasers. Laser recontouring is minimally-invasive, comfortable, and heals very quickly with little to no downtime. As soon as you look into the mirror after your gummy smile treatment, you’ll see a healthier looking smile looking back. If dental anxiety is a concern, we’re happy to offer in-office sedation dentistry to make the experience as relaxing and comfortable as possible.
