Traditional gum recontouring can be painful, but your cosmetic dentist in Prahran uses a gentle laser for less invasive treatment. While you might experience mild soreness after laser dentistry, it should not be painful, and minor discomfort should not last long.
All patients are unique so experiences will vary.
What is Gum Contouring?
Gum contouring is a cosmetic procedure that reshapes the gumline, giving you a more symmetrical gum-to-tooth ratio. In other words, it corrects a gummy appearing smile when too much gum tissue shows when you smile.
Gum contouring can also provide an even gumline if you have symmetrical issues in specific areas.
Because we use laser dentistry rather than scalpels and instruments, you should enjoy a smooth recovery with no downtime.
Gum contouring can work alone, or you can roll it into a smile makeover that includes other options, such as:
- Dental Veneers
- Professional Teeth Whitening
- Dental Bonding
- Tooth-Coloured Restorations
Your dentist can help you choose suitable options for your smile goals. You can also ask about Digital Smile Design, software that produces mock-ups of how your smile will look after treatment.
