Often people think they have unattractive teeth when they may simply
have an uneven gum line or too much gum tissue obscuring nice teeth.
Gum Contouring
Nothing ruins a pretty smile like uneven or excessive gum around the teeth. The amount of money and effort that goes into nice dental or orthodontic work is all in vain if the gums don’t frame the teeth properly.
Some common gum problems that detract from teeth are:
- different gum heights
- misshapen contours around the teeth
- too much gum making the teeth look short
These problems are corrected quickly and painlessly with the Waterlase Dental Laser. Gum tissue can be removed as easily as drawing with a pencil. The gum tissue is dissolved with no bleeding and healing time is very rapid.
Cosmetic dental work almost always requires some sort of gum contouring. Our office regularly includes this procedure as a part of most treatments.
