Enhance Your Smile

There are many reasons why cosmetic gum surgery might be right for you. Your dentist may suggest gum reshaping if your teeth appear too short for crowns or veneers. It ensures proper tooth exposure, enhancing the final results.

If you have uneven gums, reshaping can restore a smoother, more proportionate gumline. You'll improve the overall appearance of your smile.

Excess gum tissue can be removed to create a better balance between your teeth and gums. You'll show off more of your teeth when you smile.

No matter your reason for treatment, this simple procedure can enhance your confidence and improve your smile's appearance.

Extremely friendly yet professional staff especially Brandy who works in scheduling. She has been so helpful to me especially during times when there was difficulty getting my insurer to approve specialty treatments. I would also like to point out all the pleasant conversations I had with Daisha... Extremely friendly yet professional staff especially Brandy who works in scheduling.

Common Questions About Cosmetic Gum Surgery

Is cosmetic gum surgery painful?

Most patients experience minimal discomfort during cosmetic gum surgery. We use local anesthesia to numb the treatment area completely before beginning the procedure. For patients with dental anxiety, we also offer sedation options to ensure maximum comfort. After surgery, any discomfort can typically be managed with over-the-counter pain medication, and most patients return to their normal activities within a day or two.

How long does recovery take after gum contouring?

Recovery from cosmetic gum surgery is relatively quick for most patients. You may experience some tenderness and mild swelling for one to three days following the procedure. We recommend a soft food diet for the first 24 to 48 hours and avoiding strenuous physical activity for a few days. Complete healing of the gum tissue typically occurs within one to two weeks, though you'll notice immediate cosmetic improvements once any initial swelling subsides.

How long do the results of cosmetic gum surgery last?

The results of cosmetic gum surgery are generally permanent. Once excess gum tissue is removed, it typically doesn't grow back to its previous position. However, maintaining excellent oral hygiene is crucial to preserve your results. Regular brushing, flossing, and professional cleanings help prevent gum disease that could affect your gumline in the future. Some patients may experience minor changes over time due to natural aging, but the overall aesthetic improvement from the procedure remains stable for most people. Your dentist will provide specific maintenance recommendations based on your unique oral health needs to help you enjoy your enhanced smile for years to come.
