Glorious Gum Re-Shaping in the Heart of Bristol

If you have a gummy smile, you might be hoping for a simple solution that can transform the appearance of your smile and make you feel more confident when your pearly whites are on show. The good news is that we have just the treatment for you: gum reshaping. If you feel self-conscious about the look of your smile, we can help.

What is gum re-shaping?

Gum re-shaping is a cosmetic procedure and is most commonly used to treat a gummy smile. A gummy smile is not a dental health problem as such, but it can affect your confidence and have a major bearing on the way you feel, especially around others. A gummy smile is a term used to describe the look of the smile when a larger than normal amount of gum tissue is visible. It often makes the teeth look small and can make the smile look imbalanced. Gum reshaping aims to expose more of the tooth crown by removing a small amount of excess gum tissue. The end result is a beautifully balanced smile and hopefully, a much more confident client.

How does gum reshaping work?

Gum re-shaping treatment can usually be completed in a single trip to the clinic and it is a simple procedure. Your dentist will carefully remove a small amount of gum tissue and shape the gums to unveil more of the tooth crowns. Your dentist will explain exactly what treatment involves and what you can expect during and after treatment when you have your consultation. If you have any questions at all, don’t hesitate to ask. If you would like to find out more about gum reshaping or discuss some treatment options to make your smile look more attractive, our friendly dental team will be happy to help!  Why not give us a call today?

Reclaim your smile with gum reshaping from Gloucester dentist

Gum reshaping, also commonly known as gum contouring, is a cosmetic dental procedure used to improve the appearance of a person’s teeth. This mostly happens when a patient has a condition know as a gummy smile. This is an excess of gingival display and essentially means that a patient’s gums are toot big for their teeth. This occurs in bout 7 per cent of men and 14 per cent of women in the UK. Gummy smiles are not considered a medical problem but can be a great source of embarrassment and be responsible for low self-confidence and self-esteem. An excess of gum tissue may be caused by certain medications or high blood pressure, but it is often simply a case of genetics. Gum reshaping is the process of removing this gum tissue and reshaping it to a more attractive and proportional scale. This used to be carried out with a scalpel but recent technological advances in the field of dentistry have seen the advent of the dental laser. The laser simply burns away the excess tissue and seals the blood vessels reducing the risk of subsequent infection. It also reduces the amount of blood lost during the procedure. The more modern laser treatment is very quick and almost completely painless. There are certain instances when reshaping the gum may not be enough. If this is the case then the dentist may need to remove some of the bone under the gum. This may seem more daunting than the removal of tissue alone but is no more complicated and also relatively painless. Gum reshaping is a simple and effective process that can help rebuild your smile and your confidence. It is offered by most dentists as a fairly standard procedure and a dentist in Gloucester will be able to inform you more about what the procedure entails.
