gum sculpting treatments

Do you have a Gummy smile? How the gums frame your teeth can make a considerable difference to your smile. Aesthetic gum sculpting will often put the final touches on the smile, like the ribbon on a package. Symmetry on the gumline is just as important as having symmetrical edges on the teeth.

Generally two basic ways are used to for gum sculpting. When the gums are healthy and need mild alterations, laser technology can be used. The advantage of using a laser is that there is no bleeding and relatively no discomfort following the orthodontic procedure. The recovery time is rapid and results are beautiful.

In moderate to advanced gum sculpting treatments, a combination of orthodontic tooth repositioning with laser recontouring, or more advanced gum surgery is done along with repositioning the bone as well as the gum tissue. This gum sculpting treatment may sound aggressive but it contributes to life-changing result.
