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.
