Gum Contouring at Batista Smile Design
A "gummy smile" refers to a condition where excessive gum tissue is visible when you smile, making your teeth appear shorter. Even if your teeth are the correct size, the appearance of excess gum tissue can create an imbalance in your smile. Gum contouring is a cosmetic procedure designed to address this issue by reshaping the gum line, removing excess tissue, and exposing more of your natural teeth. This procedure can be performed on a single tooth, multiple teeth, or even the entire gum line to create a more harmonious, confident smile.
If you're concerned about a gummy smile, receding gums, or uneven gum lines, our experienced cosmetic specialists at Batista Smile Design can help you achieve the perfect balance.
Who Are the Right Candidates for Gum Contouring?
If you experience any of the following, gum contouring may be the right solution for you:
Feeling self-conscious about showing too much gum when you smile
Having uneven or excessively high gum lines
Needing more exposure of your natural teeth for dental treatments such as crowns or fillings
Dealing with tooth decay or other dental issues
Having teeth that are relatively wide or thin
If any of these apply to you, our team at Batista Smile Design can guide you through the process and help you achieve the smile you've always wanted.
What Are the Advantages of Gum Contouring?
The gum contouring procedure offers several benefits, including:
Improved Smile Aesthetics: Gum contouring enhances the appearance of your smile by creating a balanced, symmetrical gum line that highlights your natural teeth.
Increased Exposure of Natural Teeth: It helps expose more of your teeth, improving their appearance, especially if you're preparing for crowns or fillings.
Reduction in Tooth Decay Risks: By reshaping the gum line, gum contouring can help reduce the risk of decay by making it easier to clean the tooth surface.
Support for Other Dental Treatments: This procedure is often a preparatory step for restorative treatments, such as fillings or crowns, ensuring that the tooth is properly exposed for the best results.
A More Youthful Look: By reducing excess gum tissue, gum contouring can give you a more youthful, aesthetically pleasing smile.
