Gum Contouring

Your gum line plays an important role in the appearance of your smile. A gummy smile, created by an uneven or flawed gum line, can detract from your smile even if you have perfect teeth. By treating the aesthetic flaws in your gum line, Dr. Cooper can improve the appearance of your smile in dramatic ways.

Problems with your gum line can make your teeth appear:

• Crooked
• Too short
• Uneven
• Unhealthy

In many cases, these aesthetic issues are more effectively addressed by treating your gums than by treating your teeth. Gum contouring is a cosmetic dentistry procedure that will reshape your gum line to improve the appearance of your smile.

Tucker cosmetic dentist Dr. Roderick Cooper regularly recommends gum contouring to correct issues such as:

• Excessive gum tissue
• Uneven gum line
• Red, puffy gums
• Awkward gum line

Your Gum Contouring Procedure

Dr. Cooper uses state-of-the-art laser technology to reshape your gum line with the highest levels of safety and precision. Your gum tissue is sealed instantly, eliminating the need for stitches. Your procedure can be completed within one to two hours, and you will experience no discomfort.

Using a soft tissue laser for your procedure offers many benefits compared with older surgical methods which use a scalpel to reshape your gums. These benefits include:

• Reduced discomfort
• Quicker healing time
• Reduced swelling
• Reduced risk of infection
• Greater precision
• More beautiful results

Your gum contouring treatment can be performed by itself or in conjunction with several other cosmetic dentistry procedures as part of a smile makeover.
