Gum Contouring Dental Treatment for you
Do your gums cover too much of your front teeth, affecting your smile, appearance and self-esteem? Or do you know someone who is affected by their “gummy smile”?
Your dentist in London can help you understand and treat this condition sometimes caused by ill-health, prescriptions or genetics. A painless option is Gum Contouring Dental Treatment. The procedure allows the dentist to trim away at the excessive gum tissue overlying the teeth and to seal blood vessels with a laser. A local anaesthetic is usually given beforehand to numb the area that the dentist will reshape so that you do not feel pain. This means that you will not have to be put-to-sleep as with a general anaesthetic or be exposed to a scalpel cutting into your gums.
The use of laser allows for quick and safe healing by preventing excessive bleeding. There are no stitches or open wounds, but your gums may feel tender for a while after the procedure. The practitioner who has experience of dental courses carrying out your dental job will discuss an after-treatment plan and suitable restoration programme with you.
In certain cases, gum contouring does not provide a complete solution because of excessive bone or repeating gum growth. Contacting your dentist is the first step to learn about the health of your gums, the most appropriate treatment for you, and how to build your confidence through Gum Contouring Dental Treatment.
