Are you self-conscious about a “gummy” smile? Do you find yourself holding back from smiling fully in photos? You’re not alone. Gum recontouring is a safe and effective cosmetic dental procedure that can help you achieve the smile you’ve always wanted by gently reshaping your gum line.
At Trembath Dentistry in Thornton, CO, Dr. Trembath can help you say goodbye to excess gum tissue and hello to a more confident you.
Gum recontouring, also known as gum reshaping or a gingivectomy, is a cosmetic dental procedure that involves removing excess gum tissue to expose more of the natural tooth structure. This creates a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing smile.
The gum recontouring procedure is typically a quick, single-visit, and relatively comfortable procedure and requires minimal recovery time for any sensitivity to completely disappear. Dr. Trembath uses a soft tissue laser or traditional surgical techniques, whichever is more applicable to your exact smile, to carefully and gently reshape your gum line. We numb the entire area with local anesthesia to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.
